He wrote, “The FBI, under my Administration, is doing an incredible job. Since January 20th, more than 28,000 Violent Criminals have been arrested (RECORD BREAKING!), with over 6,000 illegal weapons seized, more than 1,700 child predators and 300 human traffickers taken off the streets, 5,000 innocent children rescued, 2,000 Criminal Enterprises disrupted, 1,900 kilos of Fentanyl (Enough to kill 125 Million people!) taken out — HISTORIC RESULTS. We are bringing LAW AND ORDER back to America. Kash, Dan, Andrew, and the men and women of the FBI, are doing a tremendous job, MAKING AMERICA SAFE AGAIN!”
The FBI has apprehended over 28,000 individuals involved in violent crimes, marking a substantial increase compared to previous years. This surge in arrests is attributed to intensified federal initiatives and strategic law enforcement operations.
In a concerted effort to reduce gun violence, the FBI has confiscated more than 6,000 illegal firearms nationwide. This action is part of broader federal initiatives aimed at curbing illegal weapon distribution.
The FBI also arrested over 1,700 individuals involved in child exploitation and abuse, leading to the rescue of approximately 5,000 children. These operations have been part of a nationwide crackdown on child trafficking and exploitation networks.
According to Fox11 website, Trump also highlighted that the FBI tracked down and captured four of its Ten Most Wanted Fugitives in just seven months, including two individuals considered the most wanted fugitives in the world.
A cornerstone of these achievements is "Operation Summer Heat," a nationwide initiative led by FBI Director Kash Patel. The operation has been instrumental in targeting and dismantling criminal networks, contributing to the surge in arrests and seizures.
