Hold onto your hats, folks -- President Donald Trump just dropped a bombshell from the Oval Office that’s got law-and-order advocates cheering.

Joined by FBI Director Kash Patel, Attorney General Pam Bondi, and Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, Trump unveiled staggering results from a nationwide push against violent crime, including plans to target struggling cities like San Francisco and Chicago with federal muscle, as Breitbart reports.

On Wednesday, the administration held a press conference to tout the FBI’s relentless focus on curbing violence since Trump took office.

Historic arrest numbers stun critics

The numbers are jaw-dropping: nearly 29,000 criminals arrested this year, a pace that could dwarf the roughly 15,000 nabbed in the last full year of the prior administration.

Trump didn’t hold back, detailing how the FBI has dismantled over 170 criminal enterprises, targeted 1,600 vicious gangs, seized more than 6,000 illegal firearms, and even captured four high-profile fugitives.

It’s the kind of progress that makes you wonder why this wasn’t priority number one for the past crew in Washington—perhaps they were too busy with social experiments to notice the streets burning.

Operation Summer Heat’s staggering impact

A key piece of this success is "Operation Summer Heat," a stealthy nationwide crackdown running from late June to mid-September across all 50 states.

Trump noted the operation was kept under wraps to maximize impact, and the results speak for themselves: over 8,600 violent crime arrests, more than 2,200 firearms confiscated, and enough fentanyl seized to wipe out millions of lives.

That’s not just a win; it’s a lifeline for communities drowning under the weight of progressive policies that often seem to prioritize criminals over law-abiding citizens.

Drug hauls, child safety gains

Beyond the arrests, Operation Summer Heat netted nearly 45,000 kilograms of cocaine and identified over 550 children, likely saving countless from exploitation or worse.

Patel put it bluntly, praising Trump’s leadership: “Mr. President, that in and of itself would be historic for a four-year presidency. You did that in seven months because you let good cops be cops.”

The director's words cut through the noise -- when you empower law enforcement instead of tying their hands with endless red tape, real change happens fast.

Future focus on troubled cities

Looking ahead, Trump signaled that San Francisco, once a jewel of American innovation, could be next on the FBI’s list for a major crackdown at the urging of unnamed officials.

“One of our great cities 10 or 15 years ago, now it’s a mess, and we have great support in San Francisco,” Trump said, pushing for its inclusion in future operations.

It’s a sad commentary on how far some urban centers have fallen under misguided governance, but there’s hope yet if federal boots hit the ground to restore order.
