NYC goes on record-breaking streak of 5 days without shootings on same week that Trump takes office

New York City enjoyed a record-breaking five day streak without any shooting victims, coinciding with Donald Trump's return to office.

President Trump campaigned on a tough-on-crime policy, vowing to remove criminal illegal immigrants and give police resources they needed to keep cities safe.

Now, the NYPD has celebrated the milestone achievement, prompting an influx of praise for Trump.    

'For the first time in 30 years, there have been 0 shooting victims in New York City for a 5-day period,' 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 a result of the brave work that the members of the NYPD do every day.'

But the post attracted dozens of responses crediting Trump for the result, even though he wasn't mentioned in the initial post.

'This wouldn’t happen to have anything to do with #47, now would it?' one Trump fan wrote.

'Say ty to trump,' another added. 'What a strange coincidence.'

'It's the Trump effect, already making our streets safer!'

But critics said it was likely a result of the frigid temperatures in New York prompting more people to stay inside to escape the cold.

And shortly after the NYPD's announcement, there was a report on X that 'a man was shot on Linden Boulevard in East New York, Brooklyn.' However, the 5-day streak was still a remarkable feat for NYC.

Trump's immigration force has arrested over 1,300 illegal migrants in the early days of his presidency as part of the largest mass deportation in US history, new Border Czar Tom Homan said. 

The Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) said on X they have also lodged a further 373 deportation detainers - requests to local police forces to hold arrested individuals until ICE can pick them up - since Trump took back power on Monday. 

Homan told NewsNation on Thursday night that of the 1,300 migrants arrested so far, 'over 1,000 of them were criminals.' 

'I don't care if Republican or Democrat, Independent, why not let law enforcement go into a county jail, taxpayer county jail, to arrest the guy that you locked in a jail cell so obviously, the public safety threat that will solve a lot of this problem. And I hope the sanctuary cities come around,' Homan said. 

The updated ICE statistics come after federal authorities said Tuesday that a sweep of sanctuary cities led to the arrest of over 300 illegal migrants on Trump's first full day. 

Homan also vowed to restart immigration raids, including in the so-called sanctuary cities. These cities include San Francisco, Chicago, Detroit, New York City and many others that are run by Democrat leaders who don't want to comply with crackdowns on federal immigration law. 

Making good on his 2024 campaign pledge to carry out the largest deportation operation in US history, Trump issued 10 executive orders on day one of his second term on Monday related to the southern border and the illegal immigration crisis. 

At the border, migrants found the CBP One App failed to work, and officials said the total apprehensions at the southern border dropped to 766 on Tuesday.
