Kash Patel: FBI Doubling Violent Crime Arrests Under Trump
By Charlie McCarthy | Friday, 26 December 2025 12:45 PM EST
The FBI is on pace to arrest twice as many violent offenders as last year under former President Joe Biden, according to Director Kash Patel.
In a Friday post on X, Patel said "President [Donald] Trump's FBI" is on track for more than 28,000 violent offender arrests, and highlighted what he called record results in 17 major cities as the bureau intensifies its focus on crushing violent crime and defending the homeland.
Deputy Director Dan Bongino echoed that message, arguing that the surge is the product of targeted, data-driven enforcement, and a clear shift away from what conservatives have long criticized as politicized, Washington-centered priorities.
"An extremely small percentage of the population commits the majority of violent crimes," Bongino wrote Friday morning on X. "Most of these perpetrators have been arrested multiple times."
