Crime rate has been going down for 30 consecutive years (except during COVID). Immigrants (legal or otherwise) commit crimes at a lower rate than citizens. "It seems" is doing a lot of work in your comment.

Would you say then that effect of deporting illegals is in fact slowing down the decline?
The logical conclusion to draw is that it has no observable effect on the crime rate.
There is no logical conclusion to draw, you measure this instead.
I don't believe 2025 crime statistics have been released yet, it would take several years of data to conclusively establish a trend, and even if the data did show that, correlation does not equal causation. What does your heart tell you?
