## Resource

Violent crime in major US cities plummeted in Q1 2026, with homicides, robberies, rapes, and aggravated assaults all decreasing significantly. Notable drops were seen in Washington D.C., Philadelphia, Memphis, Houston, New York City, and Los Angeles. This trend complicates President Trumps push for federal law enforcement, as crime rates started declining before his second term. However, some cities like Minneapolis, Atlanta, and Virginia Beach saw overall violent crime tick up. The White House attributes this to Trumps tough approach, but the full FBI report later this year will reveal if the downward trend continues.
