FBI Director Kash Patel has reported some good news about crime rates in the United States.<\/p>\n

According to an \u201cinternal weekly update to the agency,\u201d as reported by Breitbart<\/a>, Patel celebrated the agency\u2019s success in cracking down on all manner of crime across the country.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur preliminary FBI crime data for 2025 shows the single largest decreases in violent crime and murder since 1937 \u2014 an almost 90 year low, with 1.1 million fewer violent crimes than the year prior \u2014 including huge decreases across the board in aggravated assaults, rapes, and robberies,\u201d Patel said. \u201cThese historic results are a testament to the hard work you and our partners have been doing \u2014 and we\u2019re just getting started.\u201d<\/p>\n

This is a massive success, not only for Americans but for a bureau that had lost the trust of the people in recent years.<\/p>\n

The director also gave specific examples of some of those who had been arrested as part of their crackdown, and expressed his appreciation for the man \u201cwho jumped into action after a deadly shooting at a local mosque on Monday,\u201d referring to the San Diego shooting.<\/p>\n

\u201cAlso out of FBI Miami, a former managing assistant U.S. Attorney \u2014 who supported Jack Smith\u2019s politicized investigation of President Trump \u2014 was charged for allegedly stealing secret government documents using her personal email address\u2026 and concealing the documents from investigators using fake labels. We\u2019re also surging ahead with our nationwide crackdown on fraud,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n

\u201cFBI Minneapolis announced fraud charges against 15 subjects\u2026 indicted for over $90 million in an alleged healthcare fraud scheme. These cases involve the two largest Medicaid fraud cases ever charged in their district\u2026 and the first-of-their kind charges involving 7 other Medicaid programs, including fraud targeting an Autism program,\u201d he continued, pointing out that one indicted individual \u201cattempted to flee during today\u2019s raid \u2014 but within two hours, this FBI and our partners got him, and he is now in custody.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis case is the result of outstanding work by FBI Minneapolis and personnel from throughout the Bureau who have been part of the surge we began last December, and that\u2019s not the only success out of Minneapolis,\u201d Patel added.<\/p>\n

Other successes include over a dozen arrests of predators who \u201ctried to lure innocent kids into sexual activity\u201d and two men arrested for publishing AI deepfake pornography.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese men allegedly posted thousands of nonconsensual images and videos that appeared to depict real victims as nude or engaging in sexual acts,\u201d Patel revealed.<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n
