Instead of keeping Americans safe, the Biden DOJ weaponized its power against political opponents: conservatives, parents, pro-lifers, Christians, and most of all, President Trump. When President Trump returned to office, he inherited a justice system in chaos. Criminals emboldened, victims ignored, and the law weaponized for politics. He charged this DOJ with restoring integrity, accountability, and equal justice under the law. One year later, we’re proud to say we’ve turned it around. Here are 10 wins for President Trump and the American people at DOJ this year ⬇️🧵

Win #1 – Exposing Arctic Frost This Department of Justice has exposed Operation Arctic Frost, an unconstitutional and undemocratic abuse of power by the Biden Administration that targeted not only President Trump but also Republican senators and organizations—including Charlie Kirk’s Turning Point. This conduct shattered the American people’s faith in government. Now, this weaponization of government is over—and make no mistake, there will be accountability for these unprecedented acts. We are reminding the American people that no one is above the law.

Win #2 – School Board Memo Rescinded On February 5, we rescinded Merrick Garland’s disgraceful memo that compared concerned parents at school board meetings to domestic terrorists. Parents have the right to be informed about their children’s education without being intimidated by federal law enforcement. The Trump administration will ALWAYS defend parents’ rights.

Win #3 – Record-Low Crime Nationwide Across 89 of the nation’s largest cities, murders are down nearly 20% from a year ago. 62 major cities now report declining murder rates. Overall, violent crime is down 12%, with 71 large cities experiencing reductions in violent crime. Robberies are down nearly 20% across the country.

Win #4 – Law Enforcement Surges in DC & Memphis Because of President Trump’s Making DC Safe and Beautiful Again, Washington, DC now leads the nation with a 28% drop in violent crime. In DC: 8,152 arrests, nearly 800 illegal firearms seized, and 16 missing children recovered In Memphis, TN, violent crime has decreased by nearly 20% after surging law enforcement at President Trump’s direction. In Memphis: 4,640 arrests, 733 illegal firearms seized, and 132 missing children located

Win #5 – Record Drug Seizures Across the Country Since January 20, the DEA has seized: - 45 million fentanyl pills and over 4,200 kilograms of fentanyl powder—enough powder to load four pickup trucks to capacity - More than 64,000 kilograms of methamphetamine - Nearly 200,000 kilograms of cocaine - Over 1,100 kilograms of heroin
- #7
Win #6 – Americans’ Second Amendment Rights Defended - We have sued Washington, DC for banning AR-15s and other firearms—an unconstitutional incursion into the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding citizens - Filed an amicus brief supporting plaintiffs suing Hawaii for making it a misdemeanor to conceal carry on private property
- #8
Win #7 – Favorable Rulings at the Supreme Court We have attained a record 24 successful rulings at the United States Supreme Court emergency docket over the last year — a 92% win rate. Key rulings include: - Rulings on illegal immigration - Nationwide injunction abuse by radical left judges - Ending federal DEI funding mandates - Streamlining the federal workforce - Restoring the Executive Branch to its rightful place
- #9
Win #8 – Going on Offense Against Radical Left Policies - We’ve sued Governor Newsom’s administration to challenge the illegal Prop 50 effort - Secured $406 million in deals with multiple major universities to end race-based admissions and anti-Semitic practices - Sued to keep boys out of girls’ sports - Initiated 30 investigations into major tech, trucking, and other companies for discriminating against American workers in favor of foreign visa holders - Filed lawsuits against 15 states for access to voter-roll data to defend the integrity of our elections We’ve done all this despite being sued over 500 times and facing countless injunctions from radical judges who are trying to stop President Trump’s agenda. We are relentlessly implementing the America First agenda the American people voted for.

🚨 Election Integrity Update As for voting, we have prosecuted 800% MORE election fraud cases than last year. It is our mission to ensure every legal vote counts.

Win #9 – Struck Decisive Blows Against the Cartels and Left-Wing Terrorist Groups At President Trump’s direction, the cartels have been designated as Foreign Terrorist Organizations (FTOs). This includes Tren de Aragua, Sinaloa Cartel, MS-13, and others that seek to harm the American people. FTO members, from foot soldiers to cartel leaders, are facing charges across the country. This DOJ will continue to use all legal means at our disposal to completely eradicate cartel operations on American soil. Under President Trump, Antifa has been designated as a Domestic Terrorist Organization. We have filed terrorism charges against several members of Antifa—and there are more enforcement actions underway. Antifa’s illegal operations are and will continue to be completely dismantled.

Win #10 – Minnesota Somali Fraud As @nickshirleyy’s excellent reporting has revealed, Tim Walz’s Minnesota is rife with fraud. To date, the DOJ has charged 98 total defendants—85 of Somali descent—in Medicaid fraud and related case programs. 64 defendants have been convicted so far. Here’s a thread of the work we’ve done on the fraud in Minnesota:
Attorney General Pamela Bondi@AGPamBondi · Dec 29, 2025MINNESOTA FRAUD: @NickShirleyyy’s work has helped show Americans the scale of fraud in Tim Walz’s Minnesota. @TheJusticeDept has been investigating this for months. So far, we have charged 98 individuals – 85 of Somali descent – and more than 60 have been found guilty in court. We have more prosecutions coming…BUCKLE UP, LAWMAKERS!

In 2025, the DOJ returned to its core mission: upholding the rule of law, vigorously prosecuting criminals, and keeping the American people safe. In 2026, there will be more arrests, more victories in court, and more decisive action against those who threaten the safety and wellbeing of the American people. That is what President Trump has asked of the Department of Justice, and we remain committed—more than ever—to delivering historic results for the American people in the year to come.
