U.S. murder rate hit a 125-year low in 2025, with federal crackdowns credited for sharp crime drops in D.C., Memphis, and nationwide.
The U.S. murder rate dropped to its lowest level since 1900 in 2025, according to White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, who credited President Trump’s crime crackdown.
She cited a 100% increase in FBI violent crime arrests compared to the prior year, over 67,000 arrests since Trump’s inauguration—197% more than under the previous administration—and the disruption of 1,800 gangs.
In Washington, D.C., after federal takeover of the police force, homicides fell 62% and motor vehicle theft dropped 53%, with 2025 recording the fewest violent gun crimes in the city’s history.
Similar federal interventions in Memphis led to nearly 5,600 arrests and sharp declines in violent crimes, including a 70% drop in robberies.
The administration attributes the reductions to aggressive enforcement, border security, and targeting criminal illegal aliens.
