President Donald Trump said Tuesday that violent crime in Chicago has dropped significantly since the start of a federal crackdown known as the “homeland security blitz,” including an effort by the Department of Homeland Security,

The President’s Social Truth says that will be shot down by 35%, robbery by 41% and adultery by almost 50% since the operation began a few weeks ago.
