Trump: Promises Kept / Promises Broken: on Crime


Donald Trump: More penalties for violence against police

Some of Trump's executive orders to undo many of President Barack Obama's regulatory policies:

Preventing Violence Against Federal, State, Tribal, and Local Law Enforcement Officers: Signed: Feb. 9, 2017

The order calls on the Justice Department to "enhance the protection and safety" of law enforcement by increasing penalties for crimes committed against officers. The order recommends changes in federal grant funding to law enforcement programs if they do not protect officers.

Enforcing Federal Law With Respect to Transnational Criminal Organizations: Signed: Feb. 9, 2017

The order outlines the administration's approach to cutting down on organized crime--including gangs, cartels and racketeering organizations--by enhancing cooperation with foreign governments and the ways in which federal agencies share data. It identifies human trafficking, drug smuggling, financial crimes, cyber-crime and corruption as "a threat to public safety and national security."
