The OP is false, false, false Is the following true that the FBIS have captured 8 of the FBI's Top 10 Most Wanted fugitives in just 14 months — twice as many as the entire Biden administration caught in four years.45,000 violent offenders arrested last year — double the number from 2024.Violent crime arrests are up over 100% in major cities.They've disrupted thousands of criminal gangs and located thousands of missing and exploited children.
| Claim | What public data/records show | Verdict |
|---|
| FBI has captured 8 of the Top 10 Most Wanted in 14 months, twice as many as in the entire Biden administration | There is no FBI press release, Top Ten summary, or reputable reporting that confirms 8 of 10 were captured in a 14‑month span, or that this is “twice as many” as in the prior four years. The FBI does track captures publicly, and such a dramatic shift would be widely reported; it isn’t. | Unsupported / almost certainly false or wildly exaggerated |
| 45,000 violent offenders arrested last year—double 2024 | FBI’s Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) data and national summaries do not show a doubling of violent‑crime arrests in a single year. Year‑to‑year changes in violent crime and arrests are typically in the single‑digit or low double‑digit percentages, not 100% jumps. | False |
| Violent crime arrests are up over 100% in major cities | UCR and related FBI reporting show no nationwide pattern of violent‑crime arrests doubling in major cities. Some cities go up, some down, but nothing close to a uniform 100% increase. | False / grossly misleading |
| They’ve disrupted thousands of criminal gangs and located thousands of missing and exploited children | The FBI and partner agencies do run gang and child‑exploitation operations and sometimes report “thousands” over many years or across multi‑agency initiatives, but there is no single, recent FBI report matching this exact framing or tying it to the same time window as the other claims. | Partly plausible in a very broad, multi‑year sense, but unverifiable as stated |
Bottom line
Those bullets read like
political talking points, not like anything drawn from FBI statistical releases or official summaries:
- The “8 of 10 Most Wanted in 14 months” line has no corroboration in FBI publications.
- The “double 2024” and “100% increase” arrest claims contradict the pattern in FBI crime data.
- The gangs/children line is too vague and de‑contextualized to verify and is likely cherry‑picking multi‑year or multi‑agency numbers.
