WASHINGTON, D.C. — President Donald J. Trump and FBI Director Kash Patel dropped a bombshell announcement Wednesday — and it’s the kind of news Americans have been waiting years to hear: crime is finally being crushed.
Patel revealed that under Operation Summer Heat, federal and local authorities have made a staggering 8,629 arrests, seized 2,261 firearms, and taken 421 kilograms of fentanyl and nearly 45,000 kilograms of cocaine off America’s streets between June 24 and September 20, 2025.
To put it bluntly — the bad guys are losing, and law and order is winning again.
Even more impressive, Patel reported an 86% increase in violent criminal arrests compared to the soft-on-crime disaster we endured under Joe Biden’s administration. Remember that? Catch-and-release policies, empty prisons, and cities burning under the weight of “reimagined policing.” Those days are over.
The Trump administration has gone full throttle on restoring safety to American neighborhoods — deploying the National Guard to the most crime-ridden cities in the country and giving police departments the manpower they’ve been begging for.
In Washington, D.C., over 3,500 criminals have been arrested since the federalization of the Metropolitan Police Department in August — proving what happens when you take the handcuffs off the cops and put them back on the criminals where they belong.
And it’s not just the nation’s capital. The National Guard has been deployed to Memphis, Tennessee, and Chicago, Illinois — two cities that became war zones under Democrat leadership. The results? The Memphis Safe Task Force alone has already locked up 800 suspects, including multiple homicide and narcotics offenders.
This is what real leadership looks like — decisive action, measurable results, and zero tolerance for chaos.
Patel, now leading the FBI with Trump’s full backing, summed it up perfectly: “We promised to restore law and order to every American community — and we’re doing exactly that.”
While the Left obsesses over “equity” and “root causes,” Trump’s team is doing what works: arresting criminals, seizing drugs, protecting families, and taking back the streets.
Operation Summer Heat isn’t just a name — it’s a message. The long summer of lawlessness that defined the Biden years is over. The heat is on the criminals now.
And under President Trump’s watch, America’s cities are finally cooling down — not in fear, but in peace. ??
