Considering how many Tren de Aragua and MS 13 characters have been shown the door in 2025, its really not that surprising.

Anyway, maybe that Maryland dad has been behaving himself.

They (Baltimore) are locking up repeat offenders and imposing stiffer bail.

Baltimore sees staggering crime drop as Democratic prosecutor holds repeat offenders accountable

State's Attorney Ivan Bates says his office has sent 2,129 repeat violent offenders to prison while closing 64% of homicide cases in Baltimore.

Law enforcement works.....When you enforce the laws on the books....It's nothing new you know.

It's why Boston USED to be one of the safer blue cities till Wu came along.

You left out: Deported criminals can't commit crime in Baltimore.

You see OP.....The right-leaning cheer when there is a blue city guy doing his job.

I hope the notion spreads to other blue cities.

Getting repeat offenders off the streets will go a very long way in reducing crime.

The murder rates have dropped all over the country.

It’s almost as if having a President that is serious about lowering crime and doesn’t allow criminals to run wild works.

Illegal thugs being deported, National Guard deployed to Dem run shit holes, an FBI that investigates actual crimes now instead of hunting down grandmas who were at J6….leads to lower crime rates.

Trump had nothing to do with Baltimore
You should be applauding the Democratic Mayor and Council who brought about the lowest murder rate in 50 years

 

[Darkwind]

I'm pretty sure that any crime statistics out of Baltimore are suspect.

After all, it's easy to lower crime when you just stop reporting it.

Actually, Trump has a lot to do with it.

Plenty of MS 13 Maryland men are now sitting in CECOt

Where did they hide the bodies?

Typical MAGA “Fake News” defense of data that doesn’t meet your agenda

The same place the D.C. hid the bodies.

Or is it just murder that your limited mind considers a crime?

D.C. showed just how dishonest any Democrat governance is.

Here's four of them.

I could go on but you get the idea....Inroads are being made.

ICE getting shed of the illegals that house and otherwise support MS-13 makes a big difference too.
