The U.S. Department of Homeland Security reported crime rates have reached historic lows under President Trump’s leadership, citing a 18% decline in homicides and 47% drop in carjackings in the first half of 2026 compared to 2025. Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis attributed the decline to deportations of criminal illegal aliens, stating, ‘When you remove criminals from the country, crime rates fall.’ Deported individuals included gang members with convictions for homicide, armed carjacking, drug trafficking, and other offenses. Examples include Melvin Mauricio Valencia Gil, a Latin Kings gang member convicted of homicide, and Jared Adonay Cruz-Rivera, a Tren de Aragua gang member with a robbery conviction. The report highlights a correlation between deportation efforts and reduced crime rates, per DHS data.
