Violent Crime Plunges Across US Cities

In this Alex Jones Live article, Charles Cornish-Dale reports that violent crime has fallen sharply across major U.S. cities in early 2026, with the decline framed as part of President Trump’s renewed law-and-order agenda.

• Data from nearly 70 major law enforcement agencies reportedly shows violent crime declining across almost every major category compared with the same period in 2025.
• The article says the trend is national, with decreases appearing across every U.S. region rather than being isolated to a handful of cities.
• Homicides reportedly fell 17.7%, robberies dropped 20.4%, rapes declined 7.2%, and aggravated assaults were down 4.8%.
• Some cities saw especially large homicide declines, including Washington, D.C. at 64.7%, Philadelphia at 54%, San Diego at 50%, and Memphis at 34.4%.
• The piece credits Trump’s second-term law-and-order push, including federal enforcement “surges” and National Guard deployments in cities such as Washington, D.C., Chicago, Portland, Memphis, and Los Angeles.
• In Washington, D.C., the article says more than 2,100 arrests occurred in the first 30 days of the crackdown, with thousands more following afterward.
• The “Make DC Safe and Beautiful” task force reportedly focused on clearing homeless encampments, arresting violent offenders, and seizing guns and drugs.
• The article presents the falling crime numbers as evidence that aggressive policing and federal intervention can reverse urban disorder where local leadership has failed.
