Trump announces next city targeted in federal crime initiative, highlights results of "Operation Summer Heat"

Federal crackdown follows 8,700 violent criminal arrests and 2,200 guns seized during Operation Summer Heat, aiming to address rising crime and local enforcement failures.

  • On Wednesday, President Donald Trump announced federal law enforcement will target San Francisco next, citing the FBI's increased arrests for violent crimes, as his administration continues the crackdown.
  • FBI officials highlighted that `Operation Summer Heat` resulted in 8,700 arrests of violent offenders from June to September, seizing over 2,200 guns and 2,200 kilograms of fentanyl.
  • Beyond arrests, officials point to large-scale seizures as President Donald Trump said the FBI has `destroyed or severely disrupted` over 170 organized criminal enterprises, 1,600 violent gangs, and confiscated more than 6,000 illegal firearms.
  • Deploying troops, the administration has sent National Guard troops to Washington and Memphis while efforts in Chicago and Portland sparked legal fights, and an appeals court ruled Saturday limiting Guard patrol use in Illinois.
  • Officials caution the shift could divert resources from other threats, even as FBI Director Kash Patel said `This is just the beginning` and President Donald Trump said `Just as we’re forging peace and stability abroad, we’re also restoring peace and safety and stability at home`.
