New York City Celebrates Record Five Days Without Shootings Following Donald Trump’s Return to Office

New York City recently achieved a remarkable milestone: for the first time in 30 years, the city went five consecutive days without a single shooting victim.

This rare occurrence coincided with Donald Trump’s return to the White House, leading to a mix of praise and speculation.

NYPD’s Achievement and Public Reactions

The NYPD proudly shared the news of the streak on their official social media account, calling it a “record-breaking” achievement.

The post highlighted that the five-day period without shooting victims marked the longest stretch since the city began tracking crime with the CompStat system.

It also credited the diligent efforts of NYPD officers who work tirelessly to maintain safety.

However, the post sparked a flurry of comments from Trump supporters who quickly credited the former president’s policies for the peaceful period.

Some fans of Trump even went so far as to directly link the streak to the “Trump effect,” suggesting that his tough stance on crime was already making a difference.

Critics Cite Weather as a Possible Factor

While the achievement was celebrated by many, not everyone was convinced.

Critics argued that the unusually cold temperatures during this period likely led more people to stay indoors, contributing to the drop in shootings.

Shortly after the NYPD announcement, a report surfaced indicating that a shooting had occurred in Brooklyn, undermining the claim that the city was entirely free of gun violence.

Trump’s Immigration Policies and Ongoing Deportation Efforts

In the same week, Trump’s administration took aggressive action on immigration, reinforcing his tough-on-crime stance.

Under his leadership, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrested over 1,300 illegal migrants, including over 1,000 with criminal records.

Trump’s new Border Czar, Tom Homan, touted these numbers as part of the largest mass deportation operation in U.S. history.

In addition to the arrests, ICE lodged deportation detainers, requesting local police to hold arrested individuals until federal authorities could take custody.

These actions were hailed as a major step toward curbing illegal immigration and restoring order.

The Return of Immigration Raids and Sanctuary Cities

Trump has also made good on his campaign promise to launch sweeping immigration raids, particularly targeting sanctuary cities that have resisted cooperation with federal immigration authorities.

Cities like New York, Chicago, and San Francisco have become focal points in Trump’s effort to enforce stricter immigration policies.

In his first week back in office, Trump issued 10 executive orders aimed at securing the southern border and tackling the illegal immigration crisis.

Federal authorities have already begun coordinating with local law enforcement in sanctuary cities to arrest and deport illegal migrants.

Impact at the Southern Border

Meanwhile, at the southern border, the situation remains tense as migrants continue to face challenges.

Many had hoped that the CBP One App would facilitate their entry into the U.S., but reports indicate it has not been functioning as expected.

Despite these issues, authorities noted a significant decrease in apprehensions, with just 766 recorded on one recent day.

As Trump’s second term unfolds, his administration is poised to continue enforcing policies designed to curb illegal immigration, and this five-day stretch of peace in New York City may be just the beginning of what he promises to be a broader campaign to restore order and safety across the nation.
