FBI Director Kash Patel has repeatedly identified foreign intelligence operations, cartel activity, and cyber intrusions as among the bureau’s highest priorities in testimony before Congress and public statements.These are not minor statistics. These are HUGE wins for American national security.113 active foreign spies taken off the streets. Communist China and other adversaries have been running wild inside our borders for years, stealing technology, infiltrating universities, and embedding in sensitive positions. That era of weakness is over.Counterintelligence arrests are up 53%. The men and women of the FBI’s Counterintelligence Division are back in the fight, and the results speak for themselves.4,800 cartel arrests, thousands of narco-terrorists, fentanyl traffickers, and violent gang members removed from American communities. The cartels that flooded our streets with poison and exploited Joe Biden’s open border are finally feeling real heat.850 active plotters stopped before they could carry out attacks on our soil.And a 77% surge in cyber indictments means state-sponsored hackers and criminal cyber networks are no longer operating with impunity.This is the FBI the American people elected President Trump to deliver. Not the weaponized agency that spent years chasing phantom “domestic extremists” while Chinese spies and Mexican cartels ran rampant.The post FBI Director Kash Patel Boasts Major National Security Wins: 113 Foreign Spies Arrested, 4,800 Cartel Arrests, 850 Active Plots Stopped appeared first on The Gateway Pundit.
