The White House released its mid-year crime report, stating that violent crime continues to decline in major U.S. cities. According to data from the Major Cities Chiefs Association, homicides in the nation's largest cities decreased by 17.2% compared to the first half of last year, with significant reductions also seen in robberies, rapes, aggravated assaults, and overall violent crime. The report noted that this resulted in nearly 14,200 fewer violent crimes reported over six months and attributed it to President Donald Trump's "law and order agenda." Among these, homicides in Washington D.C. decreased by 43.9%, Memphis by 43.7%, and New Orleans by nearly 25%.
