president Donald TrumpCrime data found that federalism in the Capital Police Department and the campaign against Washington’s crime benefited from black Americans with an overwhelming majority, who are victims of violent crimes.

“You will go 13 days without a murder, the murders were always very black,” John Lot, founder and head of the Crime Research Center, told Fox News Digital in an interview on Wednesday. “Thus those souls, you have the blacks who did not die, who would have died.”

Lot was published in the data in August with a focus on Washington, DC For 13 days of zero murders after Trump, which determines the city police department, deployed members of the National Guard in the streets, and unleashed federal law enforcement agencies to help arrest and crime crime in the city. There were no murders recorded in the city starting on the afternoon of August 13 to the early morning hours from August 26, according to police data, with the line ended when a 31 -year -old man was shot on August 26.

Using the city’s murder rate of the first seven months of 2025, Lot found that there is a 0.37 % probability of such a murder -free line that occurs on its own. This number depends on the crime data currently, which is currently under investigation of the Ministry of Justice for the allegations that the police department manipulated by crime data to publish more favorable statistics.

The data found that the non -killing series indicates an overwhelming majority of black Americans. Between 2019 and 2021, black victims constituted 96 % of all murders in the region.

“You have others there and they claim that Trump’s policies are racist. Who are the victims of these crimes?” Lot asked, referring to the democratic politicians who rejected Trump’s plans to put forward a similar campaign in crime in other notorious cities of crime problems.

For example, the mayor of Chicago Brandon Johnson recently argued that the imprisonment of criminals was “racist” and “immoral”.

Johnson said during a press conference in August: “We cannot imprison our way out of violence.

“Prison addiction and imprisonment in this country, we have passed this,” he said. “It is racist, it is immoral, it is not sacred, and not a means of increasing violence.”

The zero killing during the 13 -day period of August follows that the city witnessed 16 days of murders between February 24 to March 13. However, Lot noted, however, crimes usually increase in summer months-when residents spend more time outdoors and days longer-compared to winter months.

“It usually reaches its climax during the summer months, yet the capital does not provide a historical collapse that can be reached by a month,” Lot said of the data. “As a result, including unusually low months such as February and March in the groups for the first seven months of 2025-or even in the total entire year of 2024-artificially reduces those numbers compared to the period we are studying in August. If we have data to control this seasonal difference, the results will probably appear more statistically more important.”

“Radicalists” the capital officials treat the officers “like foolishness,” says police leader.

Trump has repeatedly sent the National Guard to Chicago to combat the crime of the city, while Johnson and the ruler of the Democratic State JB Pritzker have ignored unnecessary recently.

“If it seems as if you were worried, then this is because I am a note,” Pritzker told the media in August. “Donald Trump wants to use the army to occupy an American city to punish its defections and record political points. If this happens in any other country, we will not face any problem in calling it what it is: a dangerous escape.”

“The President of the United States is doing this for the play,” added Pritzker. “This is not because we asked for that. It is not because there is some justice that he will seek. This is because he wants to create a chaos.”

Chicago has always been a notorious American city, with a summer weekend often caused dozens of shootings and deaths. However, the city’s murder rate in 2024 sat in about 17.4 murders per 100,000 people, which is much lower than the most dangerous cities such as Memphis, Tennessee – which saw 40.6 murders per 100,000 people in 2024.

Lot explained that the Trump administration aims to save most of the lives, however, is heading to Chicago before Modis, Tennessee, achieved this goal.

“Do you have to look at the killing rate or the number of lives that will be rescued? If the saving most of the souls is the goal, in 2024, Chicago (recorded) wrote 573 murders, Memphis 242”, Lot wrote in the X publication comparable between the two cities.

The presidential campaign of Trump included repeated promises to bring it Crime below All parts of the United States after the bloody trends in the country that started in 2020 amid the police protests and riots in that summer. He established the capital on August 11, according to Article 740 of the Colombia Provincial Law, which allows the president to take over the emergency control of the capital police for 30 days.

There have been 1914 total arrest in the capital from September 5 since the campaign began in August, including illegal immigrants, those who have distinguished orders, individuals who have illegal firearms or drugs and other crimes.

Lot said that the operation will also have indirect benefits for the residents of the capital, especially the poorest local population who have suffered from stores that are closed in recent years due to crime and work costs in a city vibrating crime.

“Anyone goes to CVS or Walgrens knows everything behind Plexiglass there,” he said. “You want to go and buy something, you have to wait until a writer comes, to lock things for you, then stand next to you while reading packages and try to know what you want to buy. These are really huge costs that these companies should be. You may have been closed more than that.

“The jobs that people had to work in these stores were lost,” he said. “And those that remain at work, and their prices have risen. This means that the poor must spend more of their money in order to go and buy anything there. So all these bad things that happen.”
