total murders
, which Chicago led in 2024 with
573

According to The Washington Post, Baltimore’s success story was a result of nontraditional solutions. City and state leaders have touted community support systems, gun violence reduction programs, youth engagement initiatives, and increased funding for law enforcement. An “all-of-the-above approach to public safety,” Moore calls it.
The federal government helped enormously. DC funded innovative programs that support local law enforcement, combat violent crime, provide victims with resources, and more. Under the Biden administration, Congress passed the American Rescue Plan Act — which included funds intended to combat the pandemic-era jump in violent crime — and the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act — which directed $250 million toward community-based violence prevention.
Enter
Donald Trump
for his Oval Office encore. He
has slashed funds for the very programs that are working to restore public order. In April, the Department of Justice canceled $820 million in grants supporting more than 550 organizations across the country directed at reducing crime and promoting public safety.
Trump really has no interest in ending crime as the above shows.
He is doing this dog and pony show as a guise to send in troops into, "blue" cities to go after the harmless migrants which are actually productive members of society by being hard workers.

Then have him send in the troops to red states/cities where the murder rates are higher.
Why isn't he threatening that if he is so interested in saving lives?
Because Trump actually does not care to end crime and wants it to thrive, including murder, when he takes away proven crime prevention programs that were working.

In April, the Department of Justice canceled $820 million in grants supporting more than 550 organizations across the country directed at reducing crime and promoting public safety.
In a new analysis, my colleagues Nicole Ndumele and Ames Grawert detail the striking scope of these cuts. For example, the administration cut $13 million from a program that directly funded law enforcement in rural communities and has been used to investigate sexual assault charges and curb child abuse. It cut $3.5 million from a program that brought together law enforcement officials, community leaders, and researchers to address violent crime — a program that Trump himself deemed a success in his first term.
The DOJ also cut funds from programs that have developed novel approaches to violence prevention that are both effective and humane. It cut $169 million from community-based programs that fund promising new ways to reduce violence by relying on community leaders to de-escalate conflicts before they become violent.
At the same time, Trump continues to blare that crime is rampant and immigrants are to blame. As he defunds violence prevention programs that work, he is pouring resources into a drive to detain and deport immigrants — who, again, statistically commit little of the violence people fear.
These policies literally defund the police — along with proven public safety programs — while they fund Alligator Alcatraz. Demagogic words, self-defeating policies. It’s a bad combination.

Not according to this:
Where homicide rates are highest: Blue cities in red states
The big picture: 13 of the 20 U.S. cities with the highest murder rates were in Republican-run states. Many of those cities were run by Democrats who often are at odds with state officials, an Axios analysis of FBI data finds.
By the numbers: Eight of the top 10 cities with the highest murder rates and populations of at least 100,000 were in red states — Mississippi, Alabama, Missouri, Tennessee, Ohio and Louisiana, Axios found.
Jackson, Miss., had the nation's highest homicide rate— nearly 78 per 100,000 residents, more than 15 times the national average.
Birmingham, Ala., was second with a homicide rate of almost 59 per 100,000 residents — more than 11 times the national average.
St. Louis was third, followed by Memphis, Tenn.
Zoom out: Six of the next 10 cities with the highest homicide rates were in Republican-run Georgia, Ohio, Indiana and Alabama, along with Virginia and Kentucky, whose state governments are politically divided.
