Trump’s DC crime crackdown overwhelmingly benefits Black Americans as homicides hit zero

President Donald TrumpCrime data found that the federal government’s crackdown on Washington crimes benefited black Americans, who are ordinary victims of violent crimes.

“You don’t kill people and don’t have murder.” So those lives, you have black people who die or they’ll die. ”

Lott released data in August Washington, DC The Trump federal police department deployed members of the National Guard to the streets, and released federal law enforcement agencies to assist the city in arrests and crimes. According to police data, the winning streak ended when a 31-year-old man fatally shot and killed on August 26, from the afternoon of August 13 to early morning of August 26.

Lott used the city’s homicide rate from the first seven months of 2025 and found that the chance of self-occurring such a homicide was 0.37%. The figure is based on DC crime data, which is currently under investigation by the Department of Justice, requiring the police department to manipulate crime data to publish more favorable statistics.

The data found that the homicide-free stripes overwhelmingly benefited Black Americans. The report found that between 2019 and 2021, black victims accounted for 96% of all homicides in the region.

“You have other people out and claim Trump’s policies are racist. Who are the victims of these crimes?” Lott asked, referring to Democratic politicians who rejected Trump’s plans to launch similar crimes in other cities notorious for their crime plight.

For example, Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson recently argued that criminals’ imprisonment is “racist” and “immoral.”

“We can’t be imprisoned from acts of violence; we’ve tried that and we ended up not addressing crime and violence in the world’s largest prison population.”

“In this country, we have gone beyond that with addiction to prisons and incarceration,” he said. “It’s racist, immoral, evil, and it’s not the way to promote violence.”

Between February 24 and March 13, New York City experienced a 16-day zero homicide count. However, crime in summer usually increases in summer compared to winter.

“Homicides usually peak in the summer, but DC does not provide accessible historical crashes monthly,” Lott reported. “The results, including unusually low months, such as the total in the first seven months of 2025 (even the full year total in 2024), artificially lowered those numbers compared to the August period we are checking. If we have data that adjusts for seasonal changes, the results could be more statistically large.”

Trump has repeatedly floated, sending the National Guard to Chicago to fight crime in the city, while Johnson and Democratic Gov. JB Pritzker shy away from unnecessary speeches.

“If I sound like I’m an alarm, it’s because I’m ringing the alarm,” Pritzker told the media in August. “Donald Trump wants to use the military to occupy American cities to punish their dissidents and gain political points. If this happens in any other country, we will effortlessly call it: Dangerous power.”

“The U.S. president is doing this for the drama,” Pritzker added. “It’s not because we ask for it. It’s not because he’s seeking some justice. It’s because he wants to cause chaos.”

Chicago has long been a dangerous American city known as the United States, with summer weekends often leading to dozens of shooting injuries and deaths. However, the city’s homicide rate in 2024 was about 17.4 homicides per 100,000 people, which is much lower than the rates in more dangerous cities such as Memphis, Tennessee – with a homicide rate of 40.6 people per 100,000 people in 2024.

Lott explained that if the Trump administration’s goal is to save most lives, Memphis, Tennessee, would have achieved that goal before heading to Chicago.

“Do you see the murder rate or the number of lives to be saved? If most lives are saved, then in 2024, Chicago (record) 573 murders, Memphis No. 242,” Lott wrote in an X post.

Trump’s presidential campaign includes repeated vows crime The bleeding trend across the United States began in 2020, when police protests and riots in the summer were bloody trends across the country. He conducted a federal government on the DC under Section 740 of the District of Columbia Domestic Ruling Act on August 11, which allows the president to bear 30 days of emergency control for 30 days.

Since the crackdown began in August, a total of 1,914 people have been arrested in Washington, D.C. as of September 5, including illegal immigrants, individuals with outstanding warrants, carrying illegal guns or drugs or other crimes.

Lott said the operation will also provide indirect benefits for DC residents, especially the poorest locals who have suffered shop closures due to city operating costs for crimes in recent years.

“Anyone going to CVS or Walgreens knows that everything is there,” he said. “You want to go shopping and have to wait for a clerk to come over and unlock things for you, then stand next to you while you read the package and try to figure out what you want to buy. These businesses are really expensive. This means the products you have are more expensive. So if you live in a poor population in DC, you may have been in a situation that you may have been in frequent situations, so you may have been using it frequently and often, and you may have been using it frequently and frequently, and you may have been using it frequently and frequently. The store.”

“The jobs people work in these stores are lost,” he explained. “Those who continue to open, prices are rising. It means the poor have to spend more money to go there to buy things. So all of this is bad things happening.”
