Attorney General Pam Bondi gave President Donald Trump some shocking results on US crime, providing evidence that his administration flipped the script on crime fighting during former President Joe Biden's presidency.
During Tuesday's Cabinet meeting at the White House, President Trump listened to Bondi report on the success of various interagency operations in places including Washington, D.C., Chicago, Louisiana, North Carolina and Tennessee over the past several months.

“Thanks to your leadership, we have increased our arrest rate of violent criminals by 100 percent,” Bondi explained as Trump looked genuinely shocked. “DEA (Drug Enforcement Administration) under Terry Cole, over 45 million fentanyl pills, 4,200 kilograms of fentanyl powder. This is equivalent to 347 million potentially lethal doses.”
“It’s incredible that you cleaned up the streets of our country,” she added. “And the weight of all the drugs seized by the DEA is equal to the weight of 17 truckloads of drugs since you took office.”
“Drugs that came into this country under the previous administration,” Bondi continued. “The ATF (Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives), under the leadership of Rob Cekada, has seized over 31,000 illegal guns…under your leadership, this is incredible. Nineteen thousand of them were related to human trafficking.”
At one point, Bondi foiled arrests in places like Memphis, Tennessee:

About 3,500 arrests.
She later spoke about the work their lawyers had done on cases involving terrorism and criminal organizations such as MS-13, Tren de Aragua and Antifa.
“Thanks to your direction, we have charged more than 500 people accused of assaulting federal officers,” Bondi said. “And we have dismissed countless cases against Americans who were prosecuted under the Biden administration, including J6, COVID, the FACE Act and others.”
She then took shots at Democrats who allowed Republican members of Congress to be spied on. “No one is above the law, including what happened at Arctic Frost,” Bondi explained.

It's hard to see why this isn't a winning strategy for Trump and the GOP, given that similar law enforcement efforts have been 1,000 percent possible for the past four years.
But instead, Biden and his team have chosen to keep our streets dangerous, not only through their open-door immigration policies, but by allowing social justice/diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) efforts to dictate how the police and the Department of Justice operate.
These are the results I voted for in November 2024.
