🔴 FBI’s “Operation Summer Heat” in Full Swing: Dan Bongino Praises Local & State Law Enforcement for Crackdown on Violent Crime

Washington, D.C. — FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino took to Twitter today to express his deep appreciation for local and state law enforcement agencies working in tandem with the Bureau under the banner of Operation “Summer Heat” — a nationwide initiative aimed at crushing violent crime across America.

“Can’t thank our local and state law enforcement partners enough for allowing us to partner with them on our nationwide initiative to crush violent crime in America,” Bongino posted on X (formerly Twitter). “In a summer full of superhero movies, they are the real heroes.”

The operation, which launched earlier this summer, is a coordinated federal push to target violent offenders, drug traffickers, illegal weapons, and organized crime elements plaguing American cities. Bongino emphasized that the FBI has already shared specific arrest and seizure tallies in previous updates and will continue to provide transparency throughout the summer.

While today’s message did not include new figures, it served as a public thank-you note to officers and agents working on the frontlines in cities, suburbs, and rural communities nationwide.

“Operation Summer Heat” has so far resulted in dozens of high-profile arrests, major weapons seizures, and breakthroughs in gang investigations, according to earlier reports released by the Justice Department.

The initiative is viewed as a major move by the FBI under the Trump administration to restore law and order in cities where crime has surged in recent years — particularly those in Democrat-controlled jurisdictions.

Bongino’s tone struck a mix of urgency and gratitude. “We are cleaning up our streets of violent predators,” he noted, “and we will not stop.”

As temperatures — and tensions — rise across America this summer, Operation Summer Heat appears set to continue its aggressive campaign against violent criminal networks.
