Trump’s “crime surge” claims are a hall of mirrors: Crime’s near 30-year lows, yet he’d jail America to stage his phantom crisis. The admin’s cashless bail panic is pure theater—crime’s fallen yearly since 2021, per DOJ data. But facts don’t matter when you’re reviving Alcatraz & mandating fentanyl life sentences.  

Real disaster? Slashing violence prevention funds while funneling $170B to detention camps. The same “Big Beautiful Bill” gutting Medicaid for ex-inmates also forces cities to free migrant workers ICE wants—then blames their release for crime. Brennan Center confirms pretrial detention *increases* recidivism, but logic dies when private prisons need profits.  

This isn’t law and order—it’s a racket. Incarceration’s the product, fear’s the marketing.
