FBI catches more 'most wanted fugitives' in first year of Trump's second term than Biden's 4 years
Just the News ^ | 1/18/26 | Nicholas Ballasy

The FBI has caught 5 of the 10 most wanted fugitives in the first year of President Trump's second term.

FBI Director Kash Patel said the criminals "spent over three decades collectively evading justice" and they have "been put in custody" in under 1 year.

"Under the leadership of President Trump, this FBI is defending the homeland, crushing violent crime, and manhunting," Patel wrote on X.

On Saturday, Alejandro Rosales Castillo, one of the FBI’s most wanted fugitives, was being prepared for extradition to face murder charges in North Carolina.

During a congressional hearing in September, Patel said the Biden administration's FBI caught 4 of the top 10 most wanted terrorists during the entirety of former President Biden's 4-year term.

I suspect this is because under Biden the FBI wasn't looking for the criminals. They were too busy criminalizing church attendance and persecuting Trump and his supporters.

That makes sense since Biden was letting them in, never deporting them.

Dr. Jill does believe if Joe had run he would have won and in his first month of his 2nd term Joey, with the help of Corn Pop, would have caught every criminal on the FBI Top 100 list.

Exactly.

The difference, I believe, being Pedo Joe biden’s “Just Us” department was more interested in finding white Christian nationalists among Roman Catholics and Parents who were speaking out against drag queen child groomers and recruiters and the rest of the poison from LGBTQMF teachers and librarians at school board meetings than actual criminals.

Since Joe let them in to begin with, how do you know that what you are saying is factual? Has she made a statement to that affect that I missed?

“Alejandro Rosales Castillo, one of the FBI’s most wanted fugitives, was being prepared for extradition to face murder charges in North Carolina”

I hope this criminal will not be tried in Charlotte. If he will be tried there, he will likely be on the sidewalks before they turn off the lights in the court room (considering decisions of recent Charlotte judges).

The FBI has 14,000 special agents and they are bragging about catching 5 guys. Yeah. Patel and Bondi aren’t doing crap. Blondi has done so little that Trump gas to appoint another assistant AG that reports directly to him and Vance. She’s worthless.
