This article presents a sharp rebuttal to Minnesota Governor Tim Walz’s criticisms of President Trump’s immigration enforcement operations. It characterizes Walz’s claims—that there is no evidence such operations increase safety—as "untethered from reality" and provides a list of 2025 statistics to argue that the administration’s policies are effectively saving lives.

Key Evidence Cited in the Article:

• • Crime Reduction: The article claims that 2025 saw the largest-ever one-year drop in homicides, particularly in cities targeted by federal enforcement. It also cites the arrest of 150 illegal alien sex offenders in Florida and a decrease in violent crime in Chicago.

  • Deportation Statistics: Since taking office, the administration has reportedly deported over 650,000 illegal aliens, 70% of whom had criminal records or charges.

  • Law Enforcement and Traffic Safety: The text reports a 25% drop in on-duty law enforcement deaths and a dramatic decrease in traffic fatalities, which it attributes to eased congestion and the removal of 9,500 non-English-speaking commercial truck drivers.

  • Border and Drug Control: It asserts that fentanyl trafficking at the southern border has been reduced by 50%, leading to lower purity levels and fewer overdose deaths.

  • Public Resources: Emergency rooms have reported fewer visits from illegal immigrants, which the article claims has freed up critical medical resources for American citizens.

  • Public Perception: The article notes a 15% decrease in the share of Americans who view crime as a "very serious" issue.

Conclusion:
The article concludes by framing the administration’s immigration policies as an "indisputable" success in protecting Americans from crime. It dismisses the opposition from Walz and the Democratic Party as a "disturbing" prioritization of criminals over American citizens.
