Trump’s immigration crackdown benefited real criminals -Dailykos

Drug dealers can thank Donald Trump for getting law enforcement off their backs. A new analysis by Reuters reveals that his decision to redirect resources toward executing his anti-immigrant policies in Minnesota lowered federal law enforcement’s ability to tackle real crime.

Between January and the end of April, there were only eight people charged with gun or drug offenses by federal prosecutors, according to court records reviewed by the news outlet. Compare that to the 77 who were charged during the same period in 2025.

Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty told Reuters that Trump’s actions are leading to a flood of federal-level cases coming into her office, which doesn’t have the same prosecutorial resources as federal agencies.

Trump campaigned on fighting crime, and he inherited a situation where crime had begun to decline under former President Joe Biden. But Trump’s actions have been a gift to criminals of all sorts.

that Trump had given visas to 17 family members of cartel leaders. Trump gave some bs reason for it, but no doubt it involved HIS profiting in some way from one of his "deals."
