Attorney General Todd Blanche’s speech at the Republican midterm election praised the work of President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance while citing crime data:

ATTORNEY GENERAL TODD BLANCHE: My name is Todd Blanche, but I want to start by talking about somebody else. Jennifer Bos is here tonight because her daughter Megan, then a 37 year old mother of two, vanished in February 2025. For 51 days, Jennifer searched for her daughter. It turns out an illegal alien had hidden Megan’s body upside down in a bleach filled garbage can in his backyard just steps from where her mother was looking. Now eventually, he was arrested, but soft on crime laws allowed him to be released back onto our streets one day later. But I will tell you this, he has since been arrested by ICE and will never walk on America’s streets again. And that does not bring Megan back. And Megan’s children will still grow up without their mother. That is why this moment matters. President Donald Trump and Vice President J.D. Vance do not treat stories like Megan’s as acceptable in our society. They treat it as a failure of government. Now, they vowed, they vowed to fix the problem. And they backed the men and women who secure the homeland. And they do not flinch when the work gets hard. And under their leadership, 2.6 million criminal aliens who entered the country illegally and should never have been released into our neighborhoods are being swiftly removed. Illegal boarding crossings are at their lowest level since the 1970s. Fentanyl trafficking at the southern border fell 56%. Overdose deaths fell 21%. And the Trump administration is making is working hard every day to make sure we take care of victims so families like Jennifer’s are not left alone. Now, that same leadership deliver results beyond the border. This law and order administration recorded the largest one year decline in homicides in American history. Rapes, robberies and aggravated assaults fell. Police officer deaths on duty declined. Missing migrant children were recovered from trafficking and labor networks. Taxpayers were protected. Federal benefits were cut off for people who were never entitled to them. And the largest health care fraud takedown in American history stopped thieves who were billing the sick and the elderly. To evil men, to evil men and women in this country know this, President Trump will hold you accountable. If you traffic children, you will be held accountable. If you sell death in a pill, you will be held accountable. If you choose violence, you will be held accountable. And if you steal from people who work hard and pay taxes, you will be held accountable. Now that, that is making America safe again. President Trump and Vice President Vance set that course. They have always and they will always back the blue. They put American families first. They proved that order and prosperity go hand in hand. The results are real. The work ahead is real. And Americans, thank you for choosing to make our country safe again. Now we are just getting started. And so God bless you and God bless the United States. Thank you very much.
