Trump credits record low crime to deportations, experts disagree
Original: Trump and his allies credit deportations with record low crime. Experts disagree https://www. theguardian.com/us-news/20
Donald Trump and his allies, including JD Vance, are claiming that the administration's mass deportation campaign is responsible for crime falling to record lows in the United States. Criminologists and other experts dispute the connection, pointing to other explanations for the decline and cautioning against linking immigration enforcement to crime statistics.
Why now: The administration is pushing a crime-and-immigration narrative that experts are publicly challenging.
