FBI Director Kash Patel has made significant early victories in cracking down on violent crime, gang activity, and drug trafficking. Patel's efforts have earned him praise from Republicans in Congress, who commend his quick action and willingness to share requested documents. Some of Patel's early wins include the arrest of a top U.S. MS-13 leader, the apprehension of three fugitives from the FBI's Most Wanted list, the raid and arrest of 22 members of a drug trafficking ring, and the disruption of a major cryptocurrency financing scheme used by Hamas. These successes demonstrate the bureau's commitment to its priorities under the Trump administration.
