FBI Director Kash Patel has reported some good news about crime rates in the United States.
According to an “internal weekly update to the agency,” as reported by Breitbart, Patel celebrated the agency’s success in cracking down on all manner of crime across the country.
“Our preliminary FBI crime data for 2025 shows the single largest decreases in violent crime and murder since 1937 — an almost 90 year low, with 1.1 million fewer violent crimes than the year prior — including huge decreases across the board in aggravated assaults, rapes, and robberies,” Patel said. “These historic results are a testament to the hard work you and our partners have been doing — and we’re just getting started.”
This is a massive success, not only for Americans but for a bureau that had lost the trust of the people in recent years.
The director also gave specific examples of some of those who had been arrested as part of their crackdown, and expressed his appreciation for the man “who jumped into action after a deadly shooting at a local mosque on Monday,” referring to the San Diego shooting.
“Also out of FBI Miami, a former managing assistant U.S. Attorney — who supported Jack Smith’s politicized investigation of President Trump — was charged for allegedly stealing secret government documents using her personal email address… and concealing the documents from investigators using fake labels. We’re also surging ahead with our nationwide crackdown on fraud,” he noted.
“FBI Minneapolis announced fraud charges against 15 subjects… indicted for over $90 million in an alleged healthcare fraud scheme. These cases involve the two largest Medicaid fraud cases ever charged in their district… and the first-of-their kind charges involving 7 other Medicaid programs, including fraud targeting an Autism program,” he continued, pointing out that one indicted individual “attempted to flee during today’s raid — but within two hours, this FBI and our partners got him, and he is now in custody.”
“This case is the result of outstanding work by FBI Minneapolis and personnel from throughout the Bureau who have been part of the surge we began last December, and that’s not the only success out of Minneapolis,” Patel added.
More from Breitbart:
The FBI also captured Camron Lee in Mexico, “a fugitive wanted for allegedly killing his partner and fleeing with their two children,” as well as the arrest of 14 individuals “for trafficking narcotics — including cocaine, fentanyl, and methamphetamine.”
Other successes include over a dozen arrests of predators who “tried to lure innocent kids into sexual activity” and two men arrested for publishing AI deepfake pornography.
“These men allegedly posted thousands of nonconsensual images and videos that appeared to depict real victims as nude or engaging in sexual acts,” Patel revealed.
“Every day you are saving lives, keeping people safe, and showing why we’re the best law enforcement agency on earth.”
