Donald Trump promised to be the "law and order" president. He broke that promise when he started freeing criminals like a psychotic villain in Gotham City. The number of pardons in Trump 2.0 has already soared to over 190.
Trump said, “I’m deploying the National Guard to our cities to Help with the Crime. So much Criming! More than Anyone has ever Seen in the History of this country! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DJT” (paraphrase of the actual Truth Social post).
Then he pardoned roughly 1,500 of the people who attacked the U.S. Capitol on January 6, the man who ran the world's largest drug-trafficking operation, two D.C. cops convicted in a murder cover-up, an MS-13 kingpin, a sitting U.S. congressman charged with bribery, a former president of Honduras serving 45 years for cocaine trafficking, and 77 people who plotted to overturn the 2020 election.
That's not the whole list — just the highlights.
Trying to keep all of it straight in your head is impossible — which is exactly the point. When the pardons come in waves of dozens at a time, the names blur together. The sheer volume becomes its own kind of cover.
So we built a tool to cut through it.
The “Pardons in Trump 2.0” Tracker
The Pardons in Trump 2.0 Tracker is a searchable, filterable record of every pardon Trump has granted in his second term. You can:
- Search by name — type "Cuellar" or "Chrisley" or "Hernández" and pull up the entry instantly
- Filter by crime — see just the violent offenders, just the drug traffickers, just the corrupt politicians, or just the Jan. 6 defendants
- See the receipts — every entry includes the date, the conviction, the sentence Trump erased, and the dollar amounts if restitution was waived
The data comes directly from the U.S. Department of Justice Office of the Pardon Attorney, the federal agency that reviews and processes petitions for executive clemency, including pardons and commutations.
Because this information originates from an official government source rather than a secondhand or unofficial database, it can be considered authoritative and reliable.
We add context where it matters — which governor, what scheme, who the money was supposed to go to — but the underlying facts are the government's own record of who walked free.
Why Does it Matter Who Trump Pardons?
Every pardon is a choice. Every commutation tells you what this administration sees as worth protecting. When you look at the full list in one place, the pattern is unmistakable: wealthy fraudsters, political donors, loyal sheriffs who sold their badges, and people who tried to keep Trump in power after he lost in 2020.
Meanwhile, the people his administration calls "criminals" — the immigrant families, the asylum seekers — get bulldozed by ICE raids and shipped to El Salvador with no due process.
Not to mention the other groups Trump has got in his sights:
Left-wing “terrorists,” Antifa, and the protesters — who have ended up in the case of the Minnesota ICE protesters, sentenced to 50-100+ years in prison.
The hypocrisy isn't subtle. It's the whole point.
August 2026 Update: The Office of the Pardon Attorney hasn't updated its website, even though there’s been reporting of additional pardons in Trump 2.0 the tracker’s release earlier this year. We’re updating the Trump 2.0 Pardon Tracker page as quickly as possible. Thank you for being so patient!

We're keeping the database updated as new pardons are issued. The next time someone tells you Trump is "tough on crime," send them the link.
