FBI Director Kash Patel Reveals Operation Summer Heat: 28,000 Violent Criminals Arrested

On Just The News, the show revisits one of its most consequential interviews of the year with FBI Director Kash Patel, highlighting the sweeping law-and-order overhaul under the Trump administration and the results of Operation Summer Heat.

Patel credits Deputy Director Dan Bongino as the architect of the operation, which quietly deployed federal resources into America’s most violent cities—Memphis, Chicago, Dallas, Houston, Los Angeles, and Portland—without political fanfare. The results were historic: more than 28,000 violent criminals arrested in 2025, double the number under the Biden administration

Patel details how the FBI dismantled gang networks, shut down child sex abuse rings, seized massive quantities of fentanyl, and reduced homicides in Chicago by 25% in just months—all while coordinating with local law enforcement often blocked by political leadership.

The interview also expands into national security, as Patel reveals:

A 35% increase in arrests of foreign spies linked to China, Russia, and Iran

A major push to counter fentanyl trafficking, with 1,900 kg seized, enough to kill 130 million Americans

A new FBI initiative to follow the money behind Antifa, now designated a domestic terror organization

Patel warns that radical groups are being funded, organized, and potentially exploited by foreign adversaries—and vows the FBI will expose who is paying for coordinated riots, extremist networks, and online radicalization targeting America’s youth.

The segment closes with Patel addressing the Charlie Kirk assassination case, explaining why evidence is being protected until trial to ensure justice—and making clear that anyone who aided the suspect will be prosecuted.
