White House Claims Murder Rate Hit Historic Low Under Trump, While DHS Warns of Domestic Poisonings

The White House stated that the murder rate in major U.S. cities plummeted to its lowest level since at least 1900 during the Trump administration, citing a surge in federal arrests, gang takedowns, and deportations. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters that newly released data showed Trump "delivering overwhelmingly on his promise" to restore law and order. According to Leavitt, the claim was based on a study from the Council on Criminal Justice (CCJ).

In related news, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) issued a warning about a concerning trend of domestic partners using chemical and biological toxins to harm or kill their victims. A January assessment, prepared by the DHS Intelligence Division within the Countering Weapons of Mass Destruction Office, indicated that this trend has increased over the past five years. The DHS noted that detection, investigation, and prosecution are challenging because symptoms can mimic natural illness.

Meanwhile, in Arizona, the search continued for 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie, the mother of NBC News anchor Savannah Guthrie, who disappeared from her Tucson home. Authorities announced a $50,000 reward for information leading to her recovery or the arrest of anyone involved. During a joint briefing with the Pima County Sheriff's Department and the FBI, investigators stated that they had not yet identified a person of interest in the suspected abduction.

Adding another layer to the situation in Arizona, two California teens were arrested in connection with a $66 million cryptocurrency home invasion plot in Scottsdale. The incident occurred on the same day Nancy Guthrie was last seen, although authorities have not stated whether the two cases are connected.

Separately, data indicated that high schools that allowed students to leave class to protest U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) had failing academic records. Students across the country protested the Trump administration's immigration enforcement actions following the deaths of Renee Good and Alex Petti in Minneapolis by staging walkouts. Some districts were forced to close for the day. Student coalitions held a "National Shutdown" on Jan. 30 and continued to protest through Feb. 3.
