FBI Director Kash Patel is pleased with Operation Summer Heat 2.0, and the FBI is revealing new overarching statistics showing the crackdown on crime has been massively effective. “The historic Operation Summer Heat led by Dan Bongino paved the way for the most prolific run of crime reduction in American history, and this FBI is doubling down,” FBI Director Kash Patel told Breitbart News exclusively. “All 56 FBI field offices nationwide are fully engaged in Summer Heat 2.0 crushing violent crime networks across the country — and at the formal halfway mark, we’ve already arrested over 1,500 violent offenders, conducted 850 drug seizures, recovered 590 kilos of cocaine, and located more than 120 children. This is the life-saving, righteous mission this FBI and this administration are dedicated to — and the results speak for themselves.”
Last summer, the FBI led the offensive against crime — Operation Summer Heat — with then-Deputy Director Dan Bongino. While Bongino is now gone from the FBI, Patel — the director of the bureau — has doubled down and is significantly targeting criminal operations nationwide. The FBI told Breitbart News there have been more than 1,500 violent offenders arrested nationwide this summer so far and more than 850 drug seizures conducted with more than 590 kilos of cocaine seized. What’s more, at least 120 children have been located. This summer’s actions kicked off in Pittsburgh’s field office with Operation Turf War — the opening salvo of the FBI nationwide as part of Summer Heat 2.0 — netting 32 narcotics and weapons-related arrests in West Virginia and Maryland back in early June.
