What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Metropolitan Police reported that homicides in the Northwest are down 30 percent, assault with a dangerous weapon is down 42 percent, and motor vehicle thefts are down 45 percent. These drops are linked to President Donald Trump’s law enforcement surge, which also resulted in a 67 percent increase in prosecutions in the D.C. superior court. Due to the decline in crime, stores in Washington, D.C. are reportedly no longer required to lock up anti-theft merchandise.
