New York City experienced a record-breaking five-day streak without shooting victims, coinciding with Donald Trump’s return to office.
President Trump campaigned on tough-on-crime policies, promising to remove criminal illegal immigrants and give police the tools they needed to keep cities safe.
Now the NYPD has celebrated this milestone, leading to an outpouring of praise for Trump.
“For the first time in 30 years, there have been no casualties in New York for five days,” the official NYPD X account wrote.
“This is the longest we’ve gone without a shooting victim since the beginning of the CompStat era.
“(It) is the result of the courageous work that members of the NYPD do every day.”
But the post drew dozens of comments praising Trump for the outcome, even though he was not mentioned in the first post.
“This wouldn’t have anything to do with #47, right?” wrote one Trump fan.

“Say ty to trump,” another added. “What a strange coincidence.”
‘It’s the Trump effect that is already making our streets safer!’
But critics said this was likely a result of New York’s frigid temperatures causing more people to stay indoors to escape the cold.
And shortly after the NYPD’s announcement, there was a report on X that “a man had been shot on Linden Boulevard in East New York, Brooklyn.” However, the five-day streak was still a notable achievement for NYC.
Trump’s immigration force arrested more than 1,300 illegal migrants in the early days of his presidency as part of the largest mass deportation in American history, new border czar Tom Homan said.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) said on X they have also filed another 373 deportation requests — requests for local police to hold arrested individuals until ICE can pick them up — since Trump took back power on Monday.
Homan told NewsNation Thursday evening that of the 1,300 migrants arrested so far, “more than 1,000 of them were criminals.”
“I don’t care if you’re Republican or Democrat, Independent, why don’t you let law enforcement go to a county jail, a taxpayer-owned county jail, and arrest the man you so clearly locked in a jail cell, the threat to public safety that will solve a lot of this problem. And I hope the sanctuary cities come,” Homan said.

The updated ICE statistics come after federal authorities said Tuesday that a series of sanctuary cities led to the arrests of more than 300 illegal migrants in Trump’s first full day in office.
Homan also vowed to resume immigration raids, including in so-called sanctuary cities. These cities include San Francisco, Chicago, Detroit, New York City and many others governed by Democratic leaders unwilling to comply with a crackdown on federal immigration law.
Fulfilling his 2024 campaign promise to carry out the largest deportation operation in U.S. history, Trump issued 10 executive orders related to the southern border and the illegal immigration crisis on the first day of his second term on Monday.
At the border, migrants discovered the CBP One app was not working, and officials said the total number of apprehensions at the southern border fell to 766 on Tuesday.
