From MAGA Inc.:
The theme of the second night of the Republican National Convention is “Make America Safe Once Again.”
Democrats have done everything in their power to undermine public safety and law enforcement. Radical activist prosecutors let criminals walk free within hours of arrest, while an open border floods our communities with untraceable, potentially dangerous criminals. President Trump will make American towns and cities safe once again, allowing them to flourish and grow without the constant fear of crime. By closing the border, standing with police, and actually enforcing the law against those who break it, President Trump will restore safety and stability to our nation.
- MIGRANT CRIME: Thanks to Joe Biden’s open border, Americans are facing a new, and tragically avoidable, type of crime:
-
- Laken Riley was killed by an illegal immigrant that Joe Biden released into the country.
- Kayla Hamilton was raped and murdered by an illegal immigrant MS-13 gang member that was released into the country by Joe Biden in 2022.
- An illegal immigrant released into the country by the Biden administration was arrested in Pennsylvania for killing a mother and her toddler.
- Police in Palm Beach arrested an illegal immigrant for “allegedly snatching an 11-year-old girl off the street in front of her” home. The illegal immigrant crossed the border in January and was released into the country by Joe Biden.
- Police in Maryland arrested an El Salvadorian illegal immigrant for the brutal 2023 murder of Rachel Morin, a Maryland mother of five.
- Five illegal immigrants were arrested for kidnapping a 14-year-old girl from Indiana with the intent of trafficking her to California.
- Two Venezuelan illegal immigrants who were released into the country this year by the Biden administration were charged with the murder of Jocelyn Nungaray, a 12-year-old girl in Houston.
- Police in Albany, NY arrested an illegal immigrant for raping a 15-year-old girl. The illegal immigrant crossed the border in November 2023 and was released into the country by the Biden administration.
- Law enforcement officers face greater danger under the Biden administration:
- There has been a 21% increase in the number of police officers shot in the line of duty since Biden took office.
- In 2023, the rate of assaults on police officers reached its highest point in the last decade.
- American cities are on the frontlines of the Biden crime wave. Since President Trump’s last year in office:
- Washington, D.C., has experienced a 38% increase in homicides, a 74% increase in robberies, and a staggering 166% increase in carjackings.
- New York City has seen a 75% surge in carjackings and a 42% rise in grand larcenies.
- Atlanta has witnessed a 66% increase in carjackings and a 16% increase in aggravated assaults.
- Chicago has faced a 40% increase in robberies, a 24% increase in assaults, and a shocking 155% increase in stalking cases.
- Philadelphia has endured a 135% spike in retail theft and a 152% increase in carjackings.
