An administration that makes America’s streets safer? What a crazy idea…
According to multiple reports and statements from FBI Director Kash Patel, a top MS-13 gang member was busted in a major Trump-backed operation in Virginia that nabbed more than 340 criminals in the past month alone.
“This is what happens when you let good cops be cops,” FBI Director Kash Patel told a press conference following the arrest of the suspected terrorist, a 24-year-old illegal immigrant from El Salvador, in a raid near Dale City, Prince William County on Thursday morning.

From The New York Post:
Few details have yet been given about the joint operation, which involved the FBI, ICE, ATF, the Virginia State Police, and Prince William County Police Department.
Describing the suspect as “the worst of the worst,” AG Pam Bondi reiterated that the arrest was part of the mission given to her by President Trump.
“President Trump’s directive to me when I became Attorney General was to keep America safe, and make America safe again,” she said.
“We didn’t need new laws, as President Trump said, we needed a new President.”
Bondi shared the news on her X account, saying, “I’m proud to announce that early this morning our brave law enforcement officers conducted a successful operation that captured a top MS-13 national leader DOJ will not rest until we make America safe again.

Bondi also spoke about the arrest during a brief press conference:
“Early this morning, one of the top leaders of MS-13 was apprehended. He was the leader for the East Coast, one of the top three in the entire country, right here in Virginia … He is an illegal alien from El Salvador — and he will NOT be living in our country much longer.”
