Case Closed: Deportations of Criminals Reduce, Get This, Crime

Update to Ada Brown story: This account, @capablanca_92, says that Ada Brown was pushed on Trump by, get this, Severely Conservative Stalwart John Cornyn.

Well whoopdefreakin'do.

On to the headline story:

John Lott argues that the deportation of criminal aliens and the sharp drop in crime might be somehow related.

A heretical thought, but give the man a chance to make his case.

The U.S. has been running a real-time experiment on two approaches to criminal justice: the Biden-era emphasis on social justice versus the Trump administration's embrace of traditional law and order. The results are now in.
The Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) reported this morning that felony violent crime fell 25% in 2025. Rape declined 13%, robbery fell 27%, and aggravated assault dropped 31%. Property crime fell 19%. Except for rape, these are the largest one-year reductions recorded since data collection began 53 years ago.
The reductions followed substantial increases during the previous four years, when felony violent crime rose 59% and violent crime, including misdemeanor simple assault, increased 42%.
Murder also declined sharply last year. The U.S. recorded about 4.1 murders per 100,000 people in 2025, a record low, down from roughly 5.1 per 100,000 in 2024. The murder rate has continued to drop. If preliminary FBI data showing an additional 18.4% decline during the first seven months of 2026 hold for the full year, the murder rate would fall to approximately 3.36 per 100,000.
"We are witnessing a historic plunge in crime to levels never seen before in the United States," Professor Carl Moody, a crime researcher at the College of William & Mary, told RealClearInvestigations. "As a result, we are all safer in our communities than we ever have been. We should all thank our law enforcement professionals."

Lott notes two reasons for a decline in crime: Trump takeovers of law enforcement in two high crime cities, DC and Memphis, as well as greater prosecution of crime, even in leftwing cities like San Francisco, which replaced a Soros prosecutor who would not punish criminals with a somewhat less extreme liberal.

Read the article for that.

But I want to get to the deportation factor:

The crime decline has also coincided with increased immigration enforcement. While data indicate that legal immigrants commit fewer crimes than native-born citizens, illegal immigrants commit crimes at a far higher rate. The Department of Homeland Security says approximately 70% of illegal immigrants deported under the Trump administration had criminal convictions or pending criminal charges.
The trend represents a reversal from the Biden years, when felony violent crime increased sharply as illegal immigration also reached record levels. During the Biden administration, at least 12.8 million illegal immigrants were encountered at the border, apprehended after illegal crossings, or classified as known gotaways. The total also excludes undetected border crossings. During some surges, officials pulled 80% or more of Border Patrol agents away from guarding the border, while 30% of the cameras in Border Patrol's main surveillance system were broken. These gaps potentially allowed millions more illegal immigrants to cross the border undetected.

State prison data also illustrate the potential relationship between illegal immigration and crime. At the end of 2025, 7,113 illegal immigrants were incarcerated in New York, accounting for 14% of the state's inmate population, at least 3.4 times illegals' share of the state population. That is the best data available, but even that data understates the total because New York does not systematically identify inmates' immigration status, and federal authorities can deport some illegal immigrants before they complete their sentences.

He also points out that law-abiding Americans are arming up, which is a huge deterrent to violent crime, at least in areas with a strong gun culture.

Researchers point out that the historic decline in crime coincided with more aggressive law enforcement, tougher prosecution policies, increased deportations of criminal illegal immigrants, and more Americans carrying firearms for self-defense. "The results are unmistakable," said professor Gary Mauser, who has extensively studied crime at Simon Fraser University in Canada. "Americans experienced unprecedented drops in crime rates in 2025, and rates are continuing to fall in 2026. The government's most comprehensive measure of crime shows that the improvement was far greater than the FBI's widely publicized figures suggested."

President Nawrocki or some such is a Polish nationalist along with his PiS party. Tusk is a Euro Commie Fascist and is prime minister of a coalition of assorted pieces of lefties that want abortion on demand and a lot of other legislation that the Constitutional Court was blocking (had a PiS majority). So Tusk tried to do an end around while Nawrocki was flying to Senegal to take out the PiS supporters on the court using a sock puppet justice as cover.

No one in post Commie and post WWI wanted a king so you get the French 5th Republic hybrid of an elected President that has separate and limited power that vary according to the country. French President has the most, the other Euro countries without kings vary.

Those of us who lead reasonable lives and take care of ourselves statistically will live longer than our predecessors.
Same with the crime rate; the cities Trump earmarked have dramatic drops in crime, thus effecting the average. But if you live in an other than area nothing is changed. I'm waiting for Homan to come and get my neighbors.

But Tusk was the President of the European Council for 5 years until 2019, so that's who he is working for.

The EU despises the right in Poland because of the Law and Justice Party's policies on immigration and the like.

A private company has secured approval to start testing their micro nuclear reactor. It outputs 1 megawatt of power for five years. It fits in a shipping container. It requires no maintenance for the five year span. When it's done, you ship it back and it gets recharged with all necessary consumables.

NYT: U.S. to Send Dozens Back to Afghanistan, Despite Risk of Persecution The Trump administration plans to fly the Afghan immigrants from Louisiana to Pakistan, where they are expected to be expelled over the border to Afghanistan

US law prohibits the government from deporting people back to countries where courts have ruled they would likely face prosecution. The government circumvented this law by sending them to Pakistan, where they will then be expelled to Afghanistan.

Speedrunning how to get other countries citizens to never cooperate with us because they know we'll fuck them over. Excellent plan!

These are just dozens of people too, throwing away all this good will because you can’t have 12 people from the Middle East live here…

All it takes is an administration change and every promise or commitment made to an ally evaporates.

The DNC is ruled by people who believe in having a "strong Republican Party" to keep the left in check. Bringing back Schumer and Jeffries virtually guarantees that nothing will happen.

109 This guy has the specifics of Polish law
=======
Bartosz Pałucki
@Palucki_B
Translated from Polish
Step by step.

Ms. Anna Korwin-Piotrowska ordered the removal of the President of the Constitutional Tribunal, Bogdan Święczkowski, and the Vice-President, Bartłomiej Sochański, citing Article 12(4) of the Act on the Constitutional Tribunal and Article 130 of the Code of Common Courts Organization.

Article 12(4) allows for substituting the President in cases of IMPOSSIBILITY to grant authorization. It does not grant the right to unilaterally assume his powers.

Article 130 § 2 states that the removal of a court president is decided by the Minister of Justice. This power CANNOT be transferred to a Constitutional Tribunal judge through analogous application of provisions concerning Supreme Court judges.

Article 19 of the Act on the Status of Constitutional Tribunal Judges allows applying provisions concerning Supreme Court judges only in matters not regulated. Such issues are, after all, regulated in Chapter 3 of the Act.

Posted by: Braenyard - some Absent Friends are more equal than others _ at October 30, 2026 06:59 PM (pMmVV)

111 Rest of it.
=======
In the background are fundamental constitutional principles:

art. 7 – the principle of legality;
art. 10 – separation and balance of powers;
art. 173 – the distinctness and independence of the Tribunal;
art. 195 – the independence of Constitutional Tribunal judges.

Added to this is the dispute over the status of Korwin-Piotrowska herself and the consequences of her failure to take the oath before the President.

It is not enough to declare the assumption of powers to legally assume them. Each of these actions requires a specific legal basis.

This is an unprecedented event. We are dealing with a coup d'état.

Marcin Horała
@mhorala
Translated from Polish
The current attack on the Tribunal is based on a triple unlawfulness:

1. Ms. Anna Korwin-Piotrowska is not a TK judge because she did not take the oath before the President.

2. Even if she had correctly taken the oath, she could not, as one of a dozen or so members of the Tribunal, remove the president and vice-president of the Tribunal from their duties by her decision.

3. Even if the president and vice-president had been properly removed, the judge with the longest judicial service is Judge Wojciech Sych, and he should be the acting president.

Each of these three premises is sufficient to establish the unlawfulness of the government's actions, and all three occur simultaneously‼️"

Not just jailing them but not allowing 'prison ain't no big thang ' like it is here. Our prison system treats inmates like customers and strive for customer satisfaction. The only thing that makes our prisons horrible are the prisoners.

Well, you could make dirty bombs. Making an actual fission weapon (much less a fusion weapon) would be pretty hard.

You need to figure out a way to keep them from getting it in the first.

One suggestion I've seen is that, given that most of these are self-contained units that only really need to be accessed once every several years, is to just embed it in so much concrete that it would take days to get through. Someone's going to notice a bunch of terrorists with jackhammers long before that, and it's not a huge deal to spend a few days getting it out when you need to refuel.

Police are under the Parliament's minister of justice command but the Army is under control of President Nawrocki. We shall see what happens but this coup and making opposition illegal is what the Democrats tried here. This is a truly global conspiracy of vile WEF types.

Rolling the dice there is likely to be the same here post election day. Get your groceries, start to pray, and make your security preparations.

Normally not an alarmist but pushing these so close together, Brazil cheat and coup, this, the firing of that traitor general, and the stated plans uncovered by Data Republican of provoking widespread unrest to 'protect' the election makes me very uneasy.

7 Days in May vibes.

All four party leaders of the opposition gathered in front of the TK (R+, PiS, Konfederacja, KKP) in Warsaw. Mind you they HATE each other very much yet are being united. Tusk doing the impossible. From the centre to the radical right, a coalition government may now be possible in Poland for nationalists. (though we need exclude Braun despite cooperating for now in this crisis. He’s gonna be a HUGE liability and a boogeyman Tusk will use constantly in the election)

I suppose one could make dirty bombs from the fuel, and the fission products.

Put the small reactors in an enclosure guarded by robots with shoot-to-kill orders.
