Liberals’ DC Crime Narrative Debunked, Crackdown Crushes Crime in Week One [WATCH]

President Donald Trump’s law-and-order initiative in Washington, D.C., is showing results after its first week, with significant declines in several categories of violent crime.

The crackdown began earlier this month as part of a federal effort to address crime in the nation’s capital.

The initiative came after years of public concern about rising carjackings, robberies, and violent offenses.

Supporters of the effort have pointed to the immediate results from the first week.

According to the latest available data, carjackings dropped by 83 percent compared to the seven days before the operation began.

Robberies fell by nearly half during the same period, while violent crime overall declined by 22 percent.

The reported decreases come amid renewed debate over how crime statistics in the District have been tracked and presented in recent years.

Earlier this year, a D.C. police commissioner was suspended following allegations of falsifying crime numbers to show reductions that did not accurately reflect the city’s crime rate.

The suspension raised questions about the reliability of previously released data, including claims that the District’s crime levels had reached “30-year lows.”

Critics of that narrative note that even if the figures had been accurate, the city’s murder rate remained far higher than the national average.

If “crime in DC is at a 30 year low” then why does it have 1 of the highest murder rates in the world?

Whose job is it to disseminate all the propaganda talking points to the leftists?

DC crime is not actually “at a 30 year low”

This is false

The Trump administration’s effort has included coordination between federal agencies and local authorities, with a focus on reducing violent incidents in high-crime areas of the city.

Officials have said the goal is to not only drive down numbers in the short term but also restore public confidence that safety can be maintained in the nation’s capital.

The early results suggest the initiative is having a measurable impact, though it remains to be seen whether the declines will continue over the longer term.

ADW ⬇️6%
Carjacking ⬇️83%
Car Theft ⬇️21%
Violent Crime ⬇️22%
Property Crime ⬇️6%
All Crimes⬇️8%

While federal assistance gives us a boost, we must repeal the misguided Comprehensive…

Crime analysts and policymakers will be watching closely as the operation enters its second week and beyond.

While full weekly breakdowns of all crime categories are expected in the coming days, the latest numbers provided indicate that the most visible and high-profile crimes have seen immediate reductions since the start of the federal crackdown.

The initiative represents one of several law enforcement priorities the President has emphasized since taking office, with a stated focus on restoring order and protecting residents in cities where crime has become a central concern.

Further updates on the program’s progress are expected as more crime statistics are released in the coming weeks.
