FBI Director Kash Patel marks one year with record arrests, drug seizures

The one-year anniversary of FBI Director Kash Patel’s tenure has arrived. As a badge of honor, Patel is under constant attack from partisan Democrats and other conspiracy theorists; even some lunatics on the right. Contrary to these smears, Patel courageously and decisively led the FBI back to where it should be: the world’s leading law enforcement agency.

After days of work to ensure our American athletes and dignitaries remained safe at the Olympic Games in Italy, Patel was invited into the U.S. men’s hockey team’s locker room following their gold medal victory over Canada. This was a significant moment as it was the first gold for the American men since the Miracle on Ice team in 1980. Patel rightly allowed himself to savor the historic moment of American patriotism and pride. The athletes clearly enjoyed the presence of a top U.S. official (and fellow hockey players); This became even more important when Patel called President Trump to praise the gold medal-winning U.S. team.

Democrats, who were quicker to defend a Democratic U.S. senator who shared a margarita with an illegal immigrant who allegedly trafficked people and beat his wife than a senior U.S. government official celebrating a U.S. gold medal with American Olympians, predictably attacked Patel for her postgame locker room appearance. It is clear to anyone with a pulse that most of today’s Democrats are nothing more than terrible, anti-American Marxists. It’s hard to imagine anything less than beating up a senior US official celebrating an iconic US victory at the Olympics.

In response to Patel (and America) haters, now is a good time to educate America on Trump FBI Director Kash Patel’s unprecedented success in his first year.

On September 10, 2025, a degenerate assassinated Charlie Kirk. Thousands of Americans attended the event on the Utah campus. The FBI, under Patel’s leadership, took command. Within two days, law enforcement took 22-year-old Tyler Robinson into custody. Patel reported Robinson after the FBI publicly released footage obtained from multiple video surveillance sources, his father said. Robinson now expects the speedy justice he so richly deserves. Despite the ramblings of online conspiracy agitators, there are virtually no unanswered questions in the Kirk case, thanks to Patel’s swift and decisive leadership.

Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro has become the main culprit in the mass importation of illegal drugs into the United States. Last month, Patel said the FBI, with the help of military special forces, arrested Maduro and his wife at their Caracas stronghold. US forces quickly captured the Maduros and removed them from Venezuela without loss to the Americans. They now sit in a prison in Brooklyn. They faced a federal indictment in 2020 but remained free throughout the entire Biden administration. The operation adds to Patel’s record of seizing more than 2,100 kilograms of fentanyl, enough to kill 150 million Americans (up 31%), and dismantling 1,800 gangs and criminal organizations, up 210% from the previous year.

The FBI’s Ten Most Wanted List represents the worst of the worst in terms of fugitives. Murderers, pedophiles, drug lords and terrorists make up most of its inhabitants. Under Patel’s leadership, six of the Ten Most Wanted men have been captured and have collectively remained at large for over 50 years; This exceeds all such seizures in one year during the Biden administration (four in four years). Listed drug traffickers like former Canadian Olympian Ryan Wedding attract huge media attention when caught, but thanks to Patel’s leadership, other thugs stay off the streets.

Just last month, it was Alejandro Rosales Castillo’s turn to face justice. This coward hid in Mexico for almost a decade after killing a 23-year-old co-worker in Charlotte, North Carolina. Another monster, Cindy Rodriguez Singh, also suffered the same fate. It was claimed that Singh killed his 5-year-old child and fled to India. Thanks to Patel’s FBI, he was captured in New Delhi less than two months after he was added to the list. Overall, under Patel’s FBI direction, arrests increased 197% year over year, and more than 6,000 child victims were located; This is up 22% year over year. Special “crimes against children” operations such as Restoration of Justice, Enduring Justice and Relentless Justice resulted in the arrest of 730 people and the identification of more than 450 victims.

The domestic terrorists who make up Antifa have been wreaking havoc on American cities for years. On July 4, 2025, two dozen people allegedly attacked the Prairieland Detention Center, an ICE holding facility in Alvarado, Texas. Domestic terrorists allegedly opened fire on ICE agents, and a responding police officer nearly lost his life after a terrorist allegedly shot him in the neck.

It’s important to remember what the FBI has corrupted during the Biden administration. The Biden Justice Department has wasted massive FBI resources for years trying to find every single person who took a selfie at the Capitol on January 6, 2021, even if those people had not committed a violent act. Other FBI sources turned to investigating parents at school board meetings and Catholics attending en masse out of purported concerns that parents and devout Catholics were domestic terrorists.

Biden Special Advisor Jack Smith spent more than $50 million on an ultimately unsuccessful effort to imprison President Trump. Prosecutors use law enforcement to conduct investigations, and Smith had the FBI at his disposal. Even before Smith’s arrival in November 2022, the FBI had raided President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home at the behest of Biden Attorney General Merrick Garland.

The FBI is no longer wasting its resources. Agents led by Patel are not targeting pro-life Christians; They capture foreign drug lords and narco-terrorist leaders. Representatives do not investigate parents at school board meetings; They bring to justice the parents who killed their children. Agents are not wasting years on January 6; They spend their time bringing violent Antifa domestic terrorists to justice and quickly catching assassins like Tyler Robinson. The agents do not participate in Jack Smith’s witch hunt; They are investigating the perpetrators of the unprecedented Obama and Biden case that ended the republic.

Special operations and extreme initiatives such as Summer Heat resulted in the arrest of nearly 9,000 people in just three months; More than 450 human traffickers were identified (a 23% increase year-on-year) and espionage arrests were up 35% compared to last year. Patel led the FBI’s rapid turnaround from a decaying and weaponized agency to one that Americans respected as it grew. For this, Patel deserves a lot of credit.
