The Federal Bureau of Investigation released a retro crime film-style video on June 25 highlighting recent enforcement efforts targeting child exploitation, human trafficking, and child predators, presenting statistics the bureau says demonstrate increased investigative activity and arrests, as reported by PJ Media.
The video, shared by FBI Director Kash Patel on X, features a narrator describing the agency’s recent enforcement results while comparing them with those of the previous administration.
According to the video, the FBI has rescued approximately 7,200 children and arrested more than 3,500 individuals identified as child predators or human traffickers.
Patel’s post accompanying the video stated:
“7,200 children rescued. A 42% increase from the previous administration.
3,500 predators/traffickers locked up. A 102% increase from the previous administration.
If you mean to bring harm to the most precious and innocent among us (our children), WE WILL FIND YOU!”
The video itself provides slightly different percentage comparisons, describing the increase in rescued children as nearly 50% and the increase in arrests as more than 100% over the previous administration.
