Attorney General Pam Bondi gave President Donald Trump some shocking results on the crime crackdown in the U.S., providing proof that his administration has flipped the script on crime under former President Joe Biden's presidency.
During a Cabinet meeting on Tuesday at the White House, President Trump listened as Bondi reported on the success of the various multi-agency operations in places like Washington, D.C., Chicago, Louisiana, North Carolina, and Tennessee over the past several months.

"We have a 100 percent increase in the arrest of violent criminals thanks to your leadership," Bondi explained as Trump looked genuinely shocked. "DEA (Drug Enforcement Administration) led by Terry Cole, over 45 million fentanyl pills, 4,200 kilos of fentanyl powder. That is equivalent of 347 million potential lethal doses."
"That's unbelievable, that you've taken off the streets of our country," she added. "And the weight of all the drugs combined taken off by DEA is the weight of 17 full semi trucks of the drugs just since you've been in office."
"The drugs that had flowed into this country under the previous administration," Bondi continued. "ATF (Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms and Explosives) led by Rob Cekada, has seized more than 31,000 illegal guns…unbelievable, at your leadership. Nineteen thousand of those were from trafficking cases."
At one point, Bondi broke down the arrests so far in places like Memphis, TN:

Around 3,500 arrests.
Later, she highlighted the work their attorneys have done on cases involving terrorism, and crime organizations like MS-13, Tren de Aragua, and Antifa.
"We've charged more than 500 defendants with assault on federal officers thanks to your directive," Bondi said. "And also we have dropped countless cases against Americans that were prosecuted under the Biden administration, including J6, COVID, FACE Act, and more."
She then sent a shot across the bow at Democrats who allowed for the spying on Republican members of Congress. "No one is above the law, and that includes what happened in Arctic Frost," Bondi explained.

It is hard to see how this is not a winning strategy for Trump and the GOP, given how this kind of law enforcement effort was 1,000 percent possible during the last four years.
But instead, Biden and crew opted to leave our streets dangerous not only by his open-door immigration policies, but by allowing social justice/Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) efforts to dictate how police and the justice department operated.
These kinds of results are exactly what I voted for in November 2024.
