President Trump's Unwavering Support for Law Enforcement is Making America Safe Again
------------------------------------------------------------

This National Police Week , America honors the brave men and women of law enforcement who risk their lives daily to protect our communities. Under President Donald J. Trump, these heroes are respected, empowered, and supported -- not defunded, demonized, or betrayed by the Radical Left.

After four years of Democrats' war on police, President Trump has delivered decisive leadership that puts officers back in control -- and the results are undeniable:

In 2025, the U.S. murder rate posted its largest single-year drop on record -- plummeting to the lowest level in 125 years -- with sharp declines across all violent crimes . Major cities saw massive homicide reductions, while rapes, robberies , assaults, shootings , officer deaths (an

80-year low ), traffic fatalities , and overdoses all plunged. These historic gains are accelerating into 2026 -- especially in cities like Washington, D.C., and Memphis, where President Trump deployed federal support to restore order and back local police.

These victories are the direct result of the Trump Administration's unbreakable commitment to law and order:

Imposing the death penalty for cop killers: President Trump directed the Department of Justice to aggressively seek capital punishment for those who murder police officers.

Scrapping Democrats' soft-on-crime mandates: The Trump Administration rescinded radical Biden-era orders pushing "alternatives to arrest" for violent offenders and restrictions that tied officers' hands when using lawful force to make arrests.

Empowering cities to clear the streets: States and localities now have stronger tools to remove disorderly vagrants and direct them toward treatment instead of enabling chaos.

Restoring critical funding and delivering relief: The Working Families Tax Cuts Act restored and expanded %20 and%20 Community%20 Oriented%20 Policing%20 Services%20 %20 to%20 support%20 boots%2 Don%2 Dthe%2 Dground%20 efforts%20 to%20 combat%20 violent%20 crime%20 in%20 local%20 communities.%E2%80%9 D) Byrne JAG and COPS grants to fight violent crime -- while delivering No Tax on Overtime for America's hardworking officers so they can keep more of what they earn protecting us.

Ending cashless bail: The Trump Administration halted federal support for the Radical Left's "cashless bail" scheme that turned streets into revolving doors for dangerous criminals -- and imposed consequences on jurisdictions that refused to act.

Dismissing anti-police lawsuits and DEI mandates: Biden-era DOJ actions targeting local police and fire departments and weakening hiring standards were dropped to protect public safety -- not political correctness.

Reclaiming law enforcement's authority: President Trump took bold action to promote aggressive, proactive policing based on proven best practices -- while shielding officers from unjust expenses and liabilities so they can enforce the law without fear.

Deploying backup to high-crime cities: The Trump Administration surged federal resources into high-crime Democrat-run cities -- standing shoulder-to-shoulder with local police to crush chaos, restore order, and rescue communities long victimized by Democrat failures.

Giving police the equipment they need: The Department of Justice reversed Biden-era restrictions and restored access to critical surplus military assets so local law enforcement has the tools to win.

Targeting criminal illegal aliens: Federal agents are now empowered to support local police in removing violent criminal illegals, resulting in hundreds of thousands of arrests and removals that make communities safer.

Slashing restrictive consent decrees: The Trump Administration launched an overhaul of federal consent decrees that micromanaged and hindered effective policing in cities across America.

Under President Trump, America's police are stronger, our communities are safer, and the results prove it.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

First Lady Melania Trump's 10 Achievements Transforming Outcomes for Foster Youth Since the Signing the Fostering the Future Executive Order 180 Days Ago
First Lady Melania Trump marked the 180-day milestone following the signing of the Executive Order on Fostering the Future for American Children and Families , highlighting 10 achievements made to expand opportunities, strengthen public and private supports, and improve outcomes for youth who have experienced foster care.

As America commemorates National Foster Care Month , the Office of the First Lady highlighted the following achievements made surrounding Mrs. Trump's Fostering the Future Executive Order:

Establishing the Fostering the Future Fund: First Lady Melania Trump secured a new Fostering the Future Fund , which will ensure that up to $32 million in Federal funds for foster and adoption services do not go to waste. The Fostering the Future Fund, allocated within President Trump's Fiscal Year 2027 Budget, will allow unused funds to be reallocated to support tailored services for youth transitioning out of foster care through the Chafee Foster Care Program.

Creating a New Fostering the Future Digital Platform: The Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families has launched a new Fostering the Future Online Platform to connect youth transitioning out of foster care with critical resources for education, housing, and career development. Guided by direct input from youth with lived experience and state child welfare directors, the new digital platform, FosteringTheFuture.Gov , was shaped through roundtable and design sessions with youth from the foster care community.

Investing in the Melania Trump Foster Youth to Independence Program: The Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2026 provided $30 million for foster youth housing. The Foster Youth to Independence program, now named in honor of First Lady Melania Trump, has supported over 1,400 housing vouchers for youth nationwide since January 20, 2025. President Trump's Fiscal Year 2027 Budget proposes to continue this funding.

Championing New Foster Care Legislation: The First Lady championed new foster care legislation when she joined a bipartisan roundtable of the House Ways and Means Committee on April 15, 2026, to advance reforms to the Chafee Foster Care Program, including proposals to expand education and training support, increase flexibility, and improve access to workforce development opportunities. The Committee approved six pieces of legislation with strong bipartisan support on April 29, 2026.

Protecting Social Security Benefits Earned for Foster Youth: On December 11, 2025, the Trump Administration sent letters to states urging immediate action to prevent the diversion of Social Security survivor benefits intended for foster youth after the loss of a parent. In the last six months, the following nine states answered the Trump Administration's call: Alabama, Idaho, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Nebraska, New Jersey, Utah, and Washington state. These states joined Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Kansas, Massachusetts, Missouri, Nevada, New Mexico, Ohio, Oregon, Virginia, and Washington, D.C. in ending the practice of diverting federal benefits that rightfully belong to foster youth.

Expanding Access to Family Care in 19 States Through Fostering the Future-Aligned Partnerships: The Trump Administration has advanced a coordinated, Fostering the Future-aligned effort through HHS/ACF to increase the number of safe, stable, and loving homes available to children in need--while reinforcing the importance of keeping families together whenever possible. By working in close partnership with states, child welfare leaders, and lived-experience experts, A Home for Every Child has focused on improving data transparency, reducing unnecessary entries into foster care, and removing barriers that prevent qualified families from fostering or adopting. Early outcomes reflect a growing national coalition committed to these goals, with 19 states and jurisdictions taking action to strengthen their systems and expand capacity, among them Arkansas

, Iowa , Louisiana , Mississippi , Oklahoma , Ohio , South Carolina , and West Virginia

have specifically recognized the leadership of First Lady Melania Trump and the Fostering the Future initiative in advancing this work.

Enhancing Benefits to Support Foster and Adoptive Families: The Office of Personnel Management , in partnership with HHS/ACF, issued new guidance clarifying paid parental leave for federal employees who foster or adopt--enhancing the flexibility of benefits for parents opening their homes to children in need. The White House led by example in an internal announcement sent earlier this month.

Leveraging Faith Partners to Help Youth Access More Housing Options: The Department of Housing and Urban Development distributed a call to action on May 11, 2026, to churches, faith leaders, and nonprofit organizations across the country informing them of the Melania Trump Foster Youth to Independence program and inviting faith-based organizations to become involved in helping youth transitioning out of foster care to find and maintain stable housing.

Launching a Child Welfare Technology Incubator: HHS/ACF launched a Child Welfare Technology Incubator to modernize state foster care systems, incorporating tools such as artificial intelligence, predictive analytics, and enhanced caseworker support to improve outcomes for children and families.

Increasing Transparency Through a New Data Dashboard: On January 26, 2026, HHS/ACF released the first-ever public Child and Family Services Review Data Profile Dashboard, enabling state-by-state comparisons of child safety and permanency outcomes for children in foster care--introducing a historic level of transparency and accountability of foster care systems across America.

Since the Executive Order was signed on November 13, 2025, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, the U.S. Department of the Treasury, the U.S. Department of Education, and the Office of Personnel Management have worked in close coordination with the Office of the First Lady--guided by youth voices with lived experience--to provide more pathways to success for young people leaving foster care.

Through significant interagency collaboration, the Trump Administration has prioritized innovation, accountability, and partnerships to better support youth transitioning out of foster care and families looking to provide loving homes across the country.

From advancing legislative solutions and modernizing child welfare systems to expanding housing, education, and career pathways, First Lady Melania Trump has led a historic effort to ensure Americans with lived experience are seen, heard, and supported.

As the Trump Administration continues to implement the Fostering the Future Executive Order championed by First Lady Melania Trump, these efforts remain guided by a single, unifying goal: delivering lasting, meaningful change for young people with experience in foster care and families across America.

President Trump Honors America's Moms with New Support for Families
------------------------------------------------------------

Today, President Donald J. Trump announced sweeping new initiatives to lower costs for families, expand access to fertility care, and deliver meaningful support for mothers across America. The actions include new federal guidance to encourage employers to provide fertility benefits, the launch of Moms.gov -- a user-friendly, one-stop digital hub providing new and expectant mothers with essential resources -- and major childcare reforms that increase access and affordability, expand provider choice, and better empower stay-at-home parents.

President Trump's agenda places American families first -- recognizing that strong families are the foundation of a strong nation. Today's actions build on the Trump Administration's ongoing commitment to American families:

Delivered the largest tax cuts in history for working families, including permanently expanding the Child Tax Credit, creating Trump Accounts to invest in children's futures, and investing $50 billion in rural health infrastructure that reaches every state.

Expanded access to IVF and fertility care by lowering costs of key treatments through the landmark TrumpRx.gov platform.

Cut costs for young families on housing, childcare, and everyday essentials while championing school choice, protecting women's spaces and sports, strengthening religious liberty, and driving historic reductions in crime that had hit mothers and children the hardest.

Strengthened foster care and adoption through the First Lady's Fostering the Future initiative, including new executive actions, public-private partnerships, scholarships, and support for youth transitioning out of the system to achieve independence and success.

Defended the dignity of every human life, born and unborn, while providing compassionate support to mothers facing unexpected or high-risk pregnancies.

Promoted broader family prosperity through robust economic growth, low unemployment, and policies that reward work, incentivize family formation, and reduce regulatory burdens on parents and employers.

These measures have drawn broad coverage:
