A report from the Department of Justice released Monday highlighted a significant drop in violent crime and other offenses from 2024 to 2025, which comes in the wake of the Trump administration's enforcement surge.

Since President Donald Trump returned to the White House, he has sent the National Guard to Washington, D.C., and other major cities, in a bid to crack down on crime and illegal immigration in urban areas.

Preliminary results from the National Crime Victimization Survey showed a 25% drop nationwide in non-fatal violent crime. Aggravated assault dropped 31%, while motor vehicle theft went down 30%.

Property victimization dropped 19%, burglary or trespassing went down 25%, and other household theft dropped 19%.

"This is what happens when you have an administration who prioritizes the safety and security of Americans and our communities," Attorney General Todd Blanche said in a statement.
