John R. Lott Jr.: Numbers Don't Lie. Trump's Deportation of Foreign Invaders Is Slashing Violent Crime

Really? You mean there's some connection between incapacitating criminals and reducing crime?

Amazing.

The United States has two primary measures of violent crime. The FBI tracks crimes reported to police. The Bureau of Justice Statistics' National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS) estimates both reported and unreported crime. Researchers have known for decades that most crimes never reach the police. Victims report only about 40 percent of violent crimes and roughly 30 percent of property crimes.

The media focuses almost exclusively on FBI crime data. Before 2020, FBI data and the NCVS generally moved in the same direction. During the Biden administration, however, they sharply diverged. While reported violent crime fell by about 8 percent, total felony violent crime measured by the NCVS surged 59 percent -- the largest four-year percentage increase since the survey began more than five decades ago.

Several factors explain that gap. Whether victims report crimes depends heavily on whether they believe police will catch and punish offenders. As cities reduced police staffing through budget cuts, retirements, and, in some places, "defund the police" policies, arrest rates declined. Lower arrest rates gave victims less reason to report crimes.

Some police departments also made reporting more difficult. In some jurisdictions, 911 operators asked whether the offender was still at the scene. If the answer was no -- as it almost always was -- they instructed victims to visit a police station later to file a report. Simply calling 911 does not place a crime in the FBI's statistics; an officer must complete an official report. When governments make reporting more burdensome, some victims understandably decide it isn't worth the effort.

Fortunately, many of those policies have been reversed.

Although reported crime has declined, we will not know whether total crime also fell in 2025 until the Bureau of Justice Statistics releases the next NCVS this September.

...

FBI arrests surged in 2025, rising 184 percent over 2024 levels. Total FBI arrests -- a broader category that includes many joint operations with state and local agencies -- increased by 197 percent.

...

Across the country, President Trump's U.S. attorneys have also pursued criminals far more aggressively than their predecessors. In Washington, D.C., for example, the Biden administration's U.S. Attorney declined to prosecute 67 percent of those arrested. Under U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro, that figure has fallen to just 4 percent.

A Mexican illegal deported three times just killed a six year old girl after running a stop sign.

An illegal immigrant from Mexico with multiple deportations was driving with a revoked license when he collided with a vehicle and allegedly killed a 6-year-old North Carolina girl last week, authorities said.

Jaime Santiago Corona was driving a Dodge Ram pickup truck July 3 when he failed to stop at a stop sign and struck an SUV driven by 35‑year‑old Kelli Toler, who was traveling with her two children in Pitt County, the North Carolina State Highway Patrol said.

Toler and her 4‑year‑old child were transported to ECU Health Greenville with serious injuries.

Toler's 6‑year‑old daughter, Calli Toler, was pronounced dead at the crash site.

An online fundraiser for the Toler family said the three were on their way to get lunch before going to a swimming pool when the collision happened.

"This monster caused a car crash that killed a 6-year-old girl and injured a mother and a 4-year-old," said Department of Homeland Security (DHS) acting Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis.

Did this illegal alien deliver Cultural Enrichment in excess of the pain, misery, and death he caused? I want to see the tally. I want to see the proof that we came out ahead on this deal, Cultural-Enrichment-wise.

Very much related: A woke American woman living in Ireland decided to marry a migrant Muslim she met at a pro-Hamas rally.

Surprise! He murdered her.

The migrant boyfriend suspected of murdering a New York mom at her home in Ireland allegedly asked her for a bunch of money just a week before her death.

Jamey Carney, 43, had told a pal that her beau, Ahmad Al-Saqar, sought the equivalent of around $5,700 about a week before her murder at her house in Killarney, the Irish Independent reported.

Al-Saqar is now wanted for questioning by authorities in connection with the murder of Carney, who is believed to have been beaten and then suffocated in her bed early Tuesday.

Al-Saqar, an asylum-seeker from Jordan, is feared to have fled to the Middle East in the hours after her death.

Authorities are examining the victim's phone calls and texts as well as her social-media accounts and bank statements as part of their probe.

Carney, who was originally from tony Westchester County outside of New York City, moved with her young daughter to Ireland in May 2021.

She is believed to have met Al-Saqar at a pro-Palestine rally in Killarney about 18 months ago and frequently shared pictures of the pair on social media.

He told friends that he and Carney had taken part in a religious marriage ceremony earlier this year and were wed in the Islamic faith, former roommate Husam Salha told the Irish Independent.

Al-Saqar posted a video online around that time with the words, "My bride and my princess," showing Carney wearing a ring on his TikTok.

"Al-Saqar said they had gone to the mosque and accepted to be husband and wife," Salha said.

"In Islam, when you get married, you have to let all the people know that you are husband and wife," he said.
