Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt: A study from the Council on Criminal Justice shows that the murder rate across America's largest cities plummeted in 2025 to it's lowest level since at least 1900…this marks the largest single-year drop in murders in recorded history.
Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt: Under President Trump, in 2025, the FBI increased violent crime arrests by one hundred percent, compared to the prior year. The FBI also conducted more than sixty-seven thousand arrests from inauguration day 2025, to January 20, 2026, which is one hundred and ninety-seven percent more arrests than the same period previously. The FBI also disrupted eighteen hundred gangs and criminal enterprises, a two hundred and ten percent increase from the year prior. The FBI has arrested seventeen hundred child predators, and more than three hundred human traffickers across the country.
Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt: Nearly eight in ten Americans say criminal illegal aliens should be deported. A solid majority also support deporting all illegal aliens, regardless of additional crimes.
Reporter: Do you have any evidence that there was international interference in the 2020 election, in this election center [Fulton County]?
Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt: What I do have evidence of, and what the media seems to be undermining, is why Tulsi Gabbard is there in the first place. And I would point you, again, to federal law that clearly assigns the DNI, and the Office, with the statutory responsibility to lead counter-intel matters related to election security, This includes assessing risks to election voting systems, software, voter registration databases, and more, and analyzing foreign interference. And the ODNI is responsible for supporting the White House interagency action to secure our elections through intel analysis and vulnerability assessments.
Reporter: Is the president still committed to deportations of the twenty million illegals that came here under Joe Biden, or are you starting to cede that back?
Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt: Yes, and the president has always been committed to that. But we must prioritize, and prioritization is on the tens of thousands of convicted criminals who we know are still roaming our streets.
