This contradicts predictions from lawmakers and activists that Trump’s mass deportation push would lead to more violence in sanctuary cities. The data shows that 1,314 police-involved killings occurred in 2025, down from 1,382 in 2024. Some critics had warned of increased violence, but the data suggests otherwise. The decrease has sparked debate about the impact of Trump’s immigration policies.
