The current drop in the crime rate is a direct result of the Trump administration's pro-law and order policies and increased immigration enforcement.

“Why is the crime rate so low? There are a lot of reasons. One is that we've empowered local law enforcement. Another reason is because we've deported a lot of criminals in the United States that should have never been here in the first place because they were illegal aliens.”

A lack of supported and effective law enforcement leads to an increase in crime.

“do I think there's uptick in crime if you don't have the proper law enforcement in place that can execute their jobs you're going to have an uptaken crime”

The crime wave narrative is more powerful than the actual statistics, driven by media and conservative messaging.

“The Narrative is like more powerful than the reality like the people who are who are angriest about this are not they're not the victim more crimes are not happening to them on average”

He claims that policies like defunding the police and lenient treatment of minor infractions lead to increased violent crime.

“What happens when you are for defunding the police? What happens when you are for letting violent criminals out of prison or not even putting them in prison in the first place? Well, from the New York Post, murders up 300% in New York City subway system.”

Chris Hayes asserts that the public's perception of rising crime is disconnected from the reality that serious violent crime, particularly homicides, has declined during the Biden administration.

“violent crime particularly the most serious violent crime a homicide spiked at an unprecedented Level under President Donald Trump last year it fell at what it appears to be a record setting Level under Joe Biden it spiked under Donald Trump the Law and Order president it has declined under Joe Bide”
