FBI nabs 220 violent offenders this week, bringing total arrests to more than 5,700 since June

The feds busted 220 “violent offenders” this week as part of its nationwide summer crime crackdown, pushing the arrest total to more than 5,700, FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino said Saturday.

“We’re seeing real results against violent offenders- and we’re not slowing down,” he wrote on X.

Among the arrests were two “self-professed religious leaders” accused of physically and psychologically abusing victims “to solicit tens of millions in donations,” Bongino said.

The FBI has also targeted illegal drug operations, conducting 20 searches in an investigation into an alleged “D.C.-based drug trafficking organization that sold PCP and fentanyl,” he said.

 “We also seized several firearms including one AR-Style rifle, a shotgun, and one Draco-style pistol,” he said of the searches in the nation’s capital.

“Through this initiative, the FBI and our partners have disrupted 290 networks, seized a combined 24,900 kilos of fentanyl and cocaine, and have continued to keep communities safe.”
