The quarterly report released Tues is based on data sent to the FBI from about 80% of the #law enforcement agencies in the country. Final detailed data for 2023 is expected to be released in the fall.
President Joe #Biden said the drop in the #murder rate was one of the steepest in the country's history. The $1.9T #AmericanRescuePlan, passed in 2021 by a #Democratic-led #Congress & signed by Biden, allowed cities & states to invest $15B on #PublicSafety.
Additionally, re their “#Biden #MigrantCrime Wave” narrative (actually a phrase #Trump coined)
Acc/to the National Bureau of #Economic Research & the Stanford Institute for #EconomicPolicy #Research; #Politics & #Media Research:
“Today, #immigrants are 60% less likely to be incarcerated than all US-born men, and 30% less likely to be incarcerated relative to white US-born men.”

𝐉𝐨𝐧 𝐁𝐞𝐫𝐠𝐞𝐫@Nonilex Of course, the MAGA responses to that would be (a) everybody knows the National Bureau of Whatever is a front for the Biden crime family, so of course they're lying, (b) that's because law enforcement ignores crime by immigrants and goes after white US-born men because they're all run by woke politicians, and (c) that's because immigrant criminals are sneaky and devious and learned how to not get caught from criminal masterminds back in their home countries. There's no point trying to persuade these people with facts (not, I realize, that that's what you were trying to do).
@jonberger probably true
