Donald Trump makes America safer
Trump praised the success of Operation Midway Blitz, despite Democrats’ opposition.
Trump wrote, “I am proud to announce that Chicago, Illinois, despite all of the radical opposition and obstruction we have from the Mayor and the Governor, has seen Car Theft, Shootings, Robberies, Violent Crime, and everything else, drop dramatically…Shootings are down 35%, Robberies are down 41%, and Carjackings are down almost 50%.”
Since the launch of the DHS operation “Midway Blitz” in Chicago only weeks ago, Shootings are down 35%, Robberies are down 41%, and Carjackings are almost 50% lower — And this is with just a small initial Federal Force, not the full “surge” we did in Chicago and Memphis. Since the DHS “Midway Blitz”, which was launched in Chicago just weeks ago, shootings have dropped by 35%, robberies by 41% and carjackings almost 50%. And this with only a small Federal Force and not the “surge” that we did in Chicago and Memphis. These numbers will continue to fall as we increase our assets. This was achieved despite the extreme resistance of the Chicago and Illinois Radical Democrat Leadership, and the constant violent leftwing terror against ICE officers and federal agents that Insurrectionist Democrat officials refuse to stop or prosecute.
DHS spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin spoke of the success Midway Blitz on Tuesday morning.

Will JB Pritzker or Brandon Johnson admit that they were wrong? https://t.co/vCPLrOHqql
