“You’ve seen crime plummet… when we’re doing a federal, state, county, and local approach, the criminals don’t have a chance… we have an elite force through @DHSgov with 80,000 badge officers who are willing to go in and fight crime every single day. I am surrounded by patriots.” — @SecMullinDHS on the Trump administration’s law enforcement partnerships contributing to a HISTORIC drop in violent crime.

The video says (transcribed automatically):

You've seen crime plummet because we're able to go after all the crimes. It's not just the high crimes, we go after the small crimes, too. The president said that, and he's correct, 2 % of the population creates 90 % of the crime. So we go after the 2%. And when we're doing a federal, state, county, and local approach, the criminals don't have a chance when we work together, when we all... crawl in the same boat and we all row together. And the drug activity is the most important thing that we can go after because it feeds so many other crimes. From the small, petty crimes to even the most violent crimes that take place. Running hand -in -hand with a lot of drugs, you see human trafficking. is also child trafficking. Child predators, so sex trafficking comes along, which causes more issues. You see murder rates increase, you see carjacking increases, you see gang violence that come in. You see murder rates increase. You see carjacking. And when we're able to go out to the heart of it, which a lot of times is the money itself is funding it, which is the drugs, through our partnership, you can see that continuously drop, and we would welcome that. We actually are begging county officials and mayors and governors to say, invite us in, let us go to work. We have an elite force through DHS with 80 ,000 badge officers that are willing to go in and fight crime every single day. I'm surrounded by patriots.

What the model flagged

Analyzed 2026-10-23 20:50 UTC.

Findings may include language that is quoted rather than the speaker's own, and the model over-reads ceremonial language (tributes, anniversaries) as persuasion. Check each finding against the original.

Exaggeration/Hyperbole 60%

Overstates the effect of the approach with absolute claims about crime collapsing and criminals having no chance.

“the criminals don't have a chance”
“crime plummet”

Loaded Language 55%

Uses glowing, emotionally charged descriptors for the force to build admiration rather than convey facts.

“an elite force”
“fight crime every single day”

Glittering Generalities 60%

Vague, positively charged label 'patriots' flatters the group without substance.

“I am surrounded by patriots”
Looks up the post's factual claims in fact-checkers, primary sources and wire reporting.
