FBI WEEKLY WRAP-UP 🇺🇸
8,900 arrests.
5,000 firearms seized.
1,400+ child victims located or identified.
2,700 federal indictments.
680+ kilos of fentanyl seized.
27,000+ kilos of cocaine recovered.
That’s Operation Summer Heat 2.0 — three months of this FBI and our law enforcement partners taking violent criminals, guns, and deadly drugs off American streets.
And we didn’t stop at the border.
18 high-value targets tied to the assassination of Haitian President Jovenel Moïse returned to U.S. soil.
A decade-long fugitive charged with supporting ISIS brought back to face justice.
Six alleged cybercriminals extradited.
Six Most Wanted fraudsters captured in three months.
A potential school shooting disrupted before it could happen.
We are manhunting at a historic level — at home and around the world.
If you target the American people, this FBI and our partners will find you and bring you to justice.

YOU are one of law enforcement’s most powerful resources.
No tip is too small. No piece of information is insignificant.
Your information helps us dismantle criminal networks, hunt down thugs, take guns and drugs off our streets, and put dangerous criminals behind bars or out of our country.
Under President Trump, law enforcement is BACKED — not defunded.
We will keep going into sanctuary cities. We will keep pursuing drug traffickers. We will keep taking violent criminals off our streets.
America is not a police state.
We are a nation defended by police, law and order.
And to every Angel mom and dad: your stories land with us. They fuel this FBI every single day.
The mission is simple — keep fighting until no American family has to suffer that pain again.

The @FBI and @CISAgov have released a fact sheet to help critical infrastructure organizations reduce risk and address security vulnerabilities when working with third-party industrial control system (ICS) integrators.
Third-party integrators provide various types of services for ICS, such as control system design, installation, operational data analysis, device support and service, and daily operational control. Find recommendations for reducing risk here: ic3.gov/CSA/2026/260923.pdf

🚨 Another high-value target returned to the U.S. by this FBI via Foreign Transfer of Custody
David Ansariy, a naturalized U.S. citizen from Uzbekistan, is now back in the States and is charged with multiple counts of providing material support to foreign terrorist organizations including ISIS.
Ansariy was an alleged leader of a radicalized group of individuals in New York seeking to become ISIS fighters — as well as to finance the travel of others. He fled overseas in 2016 and has been a fugitive since then — federally indicted since 2021. He will now face justice.
Outstanding work from @NewYorkFBI and our partners.

EVERY VICTIM COUNTS. EVERY FINGERPRINT COUNTS. EVERY DNA SAMPLE COUNTS.
You cannot say you’re delivering a safer America if crimes — and the victims behind them — are erased from the equation.
When I took this seat, Uniform Crime Reporting was at 84%.
Today: 96%.
We’re not stopping until it’s 100%.
Every fingerprint. Every DNA sample. Every swab. Every piece of information gives law enforcement and prosecutors another tool to connect violent criminals to their crimes, their syndicates, and their trafficking organizations — and KEEP THEM OFF OUR STREETS.
No victim gets erased. No statistic gets ignored.
The mission isn’t done.
We’re going to keep, keep, keep defending the homeland.

3,300 KILOS OF FENTANYL SEIZED.
Enough poison taken off the streets to kill a quarter BILLION Americans.
This FBI — alongside our federal, state, local, and international partners — is attacking these networks from every direction: shutting down precursor pipelines, crushing trafficking operations, taking guns and criminals off our streets, and hunting down the thugs poisoning American communities.
And here’s the message to the traffickers: we’re not slowing down.
To the Angel Moms and Dads — your stories land with us. Your fight is our fight.
There is no piece of information too small. Keep calling law enforcement. Keep giving us the intelligence.
We will chase these networks down, dismantle them, and put these criminals behind bars.
That’s the mission of this FBI.

THREAT IDENTIFIED. ACTION TAKEN.
FBI Jacksonville received a Threat-to-Life tip involving an alleged mass-shooting threat against a Clay County school.
Our people moved FAST.
Working with our state and local law enforcement partners, the information was immediately acted on, the individual was identified, and an arrest was made before any reported violence occurred.
This is exactly what happens when law enforcement works together — intelligence moves, cops act, and our kids are protected.
We will continue using every lawful tool and every partnership we have to find these threats and STOP them before they become tragedies.
Great work by @FBIJacksonville and our partners in Green Cove Springs.

One mission. Unified partnerships. No borders to justice. On September 20, 2026, 18 defendants connected to the assassination of Haitian President Jovenel Moïse were transported from Haiti to the United States. This operation demonstrates FBI Miami’s reach in our extraterritorial area of responsibility and strong partnership with domestic and international law enforcement agencies working together across borders to pursue justice.

605% INCREASE IN FBI AI USE.
Not for headlines. To stop threats before they become tragedies.
AI helped triage threats in North Carolina and about half a dozen other states — protecting schools and saving lives.
Lawful technology. Faster intelligence. Threats disrupted. Children protected.
THIS IS THE MISSION.

THESE ATTACKS DID NOT HAPPEN.
8 extremists targeting elected officials, civilians, and military members at the White House UFC Freedom 250 event.
5 arrested in the Michigan “Pumpkin Day” plot.
4 terrorist attacks stopped in a single month last December.
And just this past weekend, another ISIS-inspired attack stopped in Pittsburgh before innocent Americans were killed.
That is what happens when the FBI and our partners work around the clock, find the threats, and STOP THEM.
We will continue hunting down anyone who plans to bring terrorism and mass violence to American soil.

🚨OPERATION RIPTIDE 🚨
Operation Riptide was a focused, sustained 60-day national effort resulting in the extradition of six cybercriminals to the United States.
This FBI and our international partners work tirelessly to identify cybercriminals targeting Americans, track them down, and bring them back to the U.S. to face justice.
There is NO SAFE HARBOR for cybercriminals.

SIX CYBERCRIMINALS EXTRADITED TO THE UNITED STATES.
Operation Riptide sent a message every cybercriminal targeting Americans needs to hear:
There is NO safe harbor.
The FBI and our international partners will identify you. We will locate you. And no matter where in the world you try to hide, we will work to bring you back to the United States to face justice.
Borders will not protect you. Distance will not save you.
We will find you.

Great to address the Freedom Tech Summit in D.C. – a group of 70+ business leaders, talking about how we’ve brought the @FBI into a new era using the business approach many of them use every day, with aggressively improved technology, embracing enhanced AI capabilities, rapid coordination across the interagency, and more – all to bring about the most prolific 18 months of crime reduction in American history led by President Trump. Thank you to the attendees, hosts Harpoon Ventures, and my friend Clint Brown for graciously hosting.

🔺 Hundreds arrested.
🔺 Thousands of trafficked workers freed.
