Last year, the agency had arrested 1,700 child predators and more than 300 human traffickers. That is in addition to the 62,000 migrant children rescued by federal authorities.

The FBI is on a roll.
FBI Director Kash Patel said authorities have rescued 7,200 children from predators and child traffickers under the current administration. That amounts to a 42 percent increase from the prior administration, according to a June 25 update posted on X by Patel.
“3,500 predators/traffickers locked up. A 102 percent increase from the previous administration,” Patel said, according to a story by the Epoch Times. “If you mean to bring harm to the most precious and innocent among us (our children) We Will Find You!”
In addition, under the leadership of Tom Homan, the current U.S. Border Czar and recipient of the Catholics for Catholics “Protector of America Award,” the Trump administration has rescued more than 62,000 migrant children.
After receiving the Protector of America Award, Homan dedicated the accolade to the law enforcement officers and staff who have worked “tirelessly to run down hundreds of thousands of leads, work numerous investigations, and locate more than 129,000 unaccompanied alien children of the more than 300,000 children that the Biden administration turned over to unvetted sponsors, lost track of and weren’t looking for.”
“Every child is precious to the Lord. And this administration will undertake whatever efforts necessary to safeguard this population, the most vulnerable among us,” Homan said.

In a video shared with the media, the FBI said authorities launched “massive task forces” across federal and local agencies, “kicking down doors and shattering trafficking networks from the inside out.” Eight of the FBI’s 10 most wanted fugitives were apprehended in 17 months, nearly twice the number of arrests during the Biden administration.
“There’s nowhere left for these predators to hide. People can argue all they want, but the numbers don’t lie. With the FBI leading the charge, the hunters are now the hunted, and our families are finally protected,” the video stated.
