The Trump administration is making America safe again, with Operation Midway Blitz, a bold Department of Homeland Security (DHS) initiative, driving dramatic reductions in shootings and murders in Chicago.
As reported by Fox News, figures show a 16 percent drop in homicides and a 35 percent decrease in shootings, alongside a 48 percent reduction in carjackings.
In addition, there has been a 20 percent decline in robberies, and a 4 percent drop in transit crime since the operation’s launch.

DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin, a key figure in the Trump administration, proudly highlighted these gains, noting Chicago’s fewest summer murders since 1965—a testament to the President’s unwavering commitment to law and order.
The impact of Trump’s federal surge extends beyond Chicago. In Washington, D.C., where federal law enforcement and National Guard troops were deployed, crime has dropped significantly, with homicides falling by 22 percent and robberies decreasing by 18 percent.
This has happened in just the past three months, according to White House data.
In Los Angeles, the surge has led to a 27 percent reduction in shootings and a 15 percent drop in violent crimes since September, as reported by the Los Angeles Police Department.
Memphis has seen a 30 percent decline in carjackings and a 12 percent decrease in homicides, while Portland has recorded a 25 percent drop in shootings, per local police statistics.
These gains underscore the administration’s nationwide strategy to combat crime through decisive federal action.
Despite continued efforts by Democrats such as Illinois Governor JB Pritzker and Chicago mayor Brandon Johnson, federal muscle brought by Operation Midway Blitz has turned the tide.
The data speaks for itself: President Trump’s strategy of deploying DHS resources is proving effective, proving once again that his leadership delivers where others fall short.
As cities across America move toward greater security, the Trump administration’s vision for a safer nation as part of a ‘Golden Age’ is coming to fruition.
