Kash Patel announces arrest of 200 child sex predators; 'There is no place we won't hunt you down'

FBI director Kash Patel Wednesday announced US administration's Operation Restore Justice in which over 200 alleged child sex predators were arrested in the last week. "For the last week, the FBI and DOJ have been quietly surging operations across 55 field offices to take down criminals who target kids," Kash Patel said.

"Our agents, support teams and partners did excellent work — rescuing 115 children across the country in the process. Their work undoubtedly saved lives and protected vulnerable kids from further horrific crimes," he said.

"Operation Restore Justice is a powerful message: If you harm children in America, you will be given no sanctuary. There is nowhere you can hide. You will be hunted down, and you will be prosecuted," Kash Patel said.

JUST NOW: I can join @AGPamBondi and @TheJusticeDept in announcing the arrest of over 200 alleged child sex predators in the last week.

"If you harm our children, you will be given no sanctuary. There is no place we will not come to hunt you down. There is no place we will not look for you. And there is no cage we will not put you in should you do harm to our children," Patel said in a press conference today which was also attended by AG Pam Bondi.

Pam Bondi on delay in the release of Epstein Files

Commenting on the release of Epstein Files that the Donald Trump administration promised but did not yet deliver, Pam Bondiu said FBI is still reviewing the tends of thousands of videos of Epstein with children and there are hundreds of victims. "No one victim will ever get released. It's just the volume and that's what they're going through right now. The FBI is diligently going through that."

Kash Patel has become visible this week after viral reports that he spends more time at night clubs and works from his Las Vegas home instead of being visible in the FBI office. Patel has also come on the radar for using FBI jets for his personal trips.
