The Trump administration is delivering on its promise to clean up America's streets, and the results are already staggering. In just one operation in Columbus, Ohio, federal agents busted more than 50 suspected fugitive felons who were brazenly living in taxpayer-funded housing while evading justice.
'Operation Clean House' saw U.S. Marshals team up with Department of Housing and Urban Development agents and the Franklin County Sheriff's Office to root out criminals who had been gaming the system while honest Americans footed the bill.
The roster of suspects reads like a nightmare: rapists, drug traffickers, child endangerers, violent offenders charged with strangulation, and registered sex offenders who failed to comply with reporting requirements. These weren't petty criminals—these were dangerous felons hiding in plain sight, subsidized by your tax dollars.
Finally, Justice Over Political Correctness
For years under the previous administration, these operations took a backseat to woke policies that prioritized protecting criminals over protecting communities. Now, with Trump back in the White House, federal agencies are actually doing their jobs instead of chasing political agendas.
This Columbus operation is just the beginning. Imagine how many more felons are hiding in taxpayer-funded housing across America's major cities. How many rapists and child predators have been living next door to families, all while collecting government benefits?
"This is exactly what Americans voted for—a president who puts public safety first and stops coddling criminals at taxpayer expense."
The operation shows what happens when federal agencies work together with local law enforcement instead of against them. Under Biden, HUD was more concerned with pushing diversity quotas than ensuring criminals weren't exploiting housing programs.
More Than Just Housing Fraud
This isn't just about housing—it's about the broader failure of government systems that Democrats have weaponized for their political benefit while ignoring the safety of everyday Americans. These criminals didn't just steal housing; they put entire neighborhoods at risk.
Patriots should be asking: if Columbus had 50+ fugitive felons in taxpayer housing, what about Chicago? Los Angeles? New York? How deep does this criminal infiltration go, and how long has the swamp been looking the other way?
