LAW AND ORDER: Crime Rates Reach Historic Lows Following DHS Deportations of Criminal Illegal Aliens

Under President Trump's leadership, crime has fallen to historic lows across the country

WASHINGTON - The United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) released the following statement highlighting examples of the worst criminal illegal aliens who have been deported from the United States, as crime rates fall to historic lows across the country.

"President Trump promised to make America safe again, and he has done just that," said Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis. "Crime has fallen to record lows under the Trump Administration, including murders on pace to drop to the lowest level in 126 years. It's no surprise that this drop in crime coincides with deportations of dangerous criminal illegal aliens. It is common sense. When you remove criminals from the country, crime rates fall."

Under President Trump's leadership, crime rates have fallen to historic lows. In the first half of 2026 vs. the same period last year:

• Homicides are down 18% - on pace for the lowest level in at least 126 years.
• Carjackings are down 47%.
• Motor vehicle thefts are down 20%.
• Robberies are down 17%.
• Residential burglaries are down 13%.
