FBI Data Confirms Drop in Most Crimes in 2023, Especially Murders Attempts to cast doubt on the reliability of the numbers don’t hold up.

Despite POTUS' remarks just now, violent crime is near-historic lows, and murder dropped by a historic amount in 2023. These stats come from national FBI data, compiled from police agencies covering 94% of the population.

Debunking the Myth of the ‘Migrant Crime Wave’ Data does not support claims that the United States is experiencing a surge in crime caused by immigrants.

The research does not support the view that immigrants commit crime or are incarcerated at higher rates than native-born Americans. #FactCheck

Seven Former Manhattan U.S. Attorneys Voice Their Support for Danielle Sassoon The former prosecutors, both Democrats and Republicans, sharply criticized the Justice Department’s intention to investigate Danielle Sassoon. She resigned rather than drop a case she supported.

Seven former top Manhattan federal prosecutors, including several who served under Republican presidents, issued a statement Friday praising Danielle Sassoon’s decision to resign rather than obey an order to seek dismissal of corruption charges against New York City’s mayor.

As an SDNY alum, I'm proud of those who have refused these orders. They are acting with integrity to protect our system of laws.

It threatens the effective enforcement of all of our criminal laws, jeopardizes the independence of our justice system, and upends the promise of the fair and equitable administration of justice.

The effort by DOJ leadership to force prosecutors to dismiss Mayor Adams' indictment for purely political reasons is a shameful window into the operations of the current Justice Department.
