Update: "Everyone, it's Judge Jeanine. Here I am in D.C., and we’re still talking about the surge. It’s been a little over three months, from August 7 to November 17, and the number of arrests are 6,362. The number of guns seized are 610 guns. Now, you’ve got to put that in perspective, and I’m going to do that by comparing the numbers from what it was in 2023. The violent crimes were 60% higher in 2023 than they are right now as a result of the surge. Carjackings in 2023 were 80% higher, homicides were 72% higher, and violent gun crimes were 75% higher. And you can see that the numbers go down a little bit in ’24, but not really that much. But the difference even between 90 days before the surge and the surge is dramatic. It shows the difference that it makes when law enforcement works together, when the focus is making sure that criminals are apprehended, when the deterrent effect of law enforcement being on the street is ever present, then we’re able to really protect the people who live in the district."
