President Trump said violent crime is rising out of control due to Democrat policies. In a statement on Sunday, the 45th president said Democrats are releasing thousands of criminals from prisons while allowing illegal immigrants to enter the U.S. unchecked.
As a result, Trump said crime rates are rising across most metropolitan areas at an unprecedented pace.
