Fake “fact checks” insist there’s no truth to Mr. Trump’s assertion that foreign governments are emptying their prisons and mental wards to dump these dangerous individuals into the United States.
The statistics offered by the Venezuelan Observatory of Violence say otherwise. In Caracas, the number of violent deaths per 100,000 residents plunged from 77.9 in 2021 to 19.1 in 2023, which works out to a 75% drop — exactly as Mr. Trump has described.
