crime Baltimore Sees Historic Decline in Violent Crime, Defying Trump's CriticismSeptember 2, 2025 Baltimore continued to see historically low violent crime numbers in August, according to Mayor Brandon Scott. As of September 1, the city recorded 91 homicides and 218 nonfatal shootings so far in 2025, the fewest homicides in over 50 years. The city has seen reductions in violent crime for the past two years, which the mayor attributes to the city's Group Violence Reduction Strategy (GVRS) and an evidence-based approach to public safety. However, President Trump has continued to criticize Baltimore, calling it a 'hellhole' and threatening to deploy the National Guard, despite the city's crime reduction achievements. murder Inmate Found Dead in Maryland Prison, Prompting Homicide InvestigationSeptember 2, 2025 An inmate at the Eastern Correctional Institution in Westover, Maryland was found dead early Sunday, prompting a homicide investigation.

Sincerely, The Security TeamPresident Trump has threatened to deploy the National Guard to several Democratic-run cities, including Baltimore, to fight what he says is runaway crime. However, data shows most violent crime in those places and around the country has declined in recent years. Maryland Gov. Wes Moore has rejected the use of the National Guard, arguing it is not an effective form of federal assistance. The governor wants sustained federal resources to help reduce crime in the state, but opposes the way Trump is offering help. The back-and-forth between the two leaders is not seen as productive for Maryland in the long run. |
