FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino announced on Saturday that during his and Director Kash Patel‘s first three months in office, the agency conducted large-scale sex predator operations, made multiple foreign intelligence and FBI “most wanted” arrests, and aided partners in immigration enforcement.

In an X post, Bongino said two child sex predator stings resulted in the rescues of hundreds of children.

Operation “Restoring Justice” apprehended 205 child sex predators and 764 purveyors, while rescuing 115 children, he said. A separate venture, Operation “Soteria Shield,” resulted in the apprehension of 244 child predators, and 109 children were rescued.

“This is just the beginning,” Bongino wrote in the post. “If you’re preying on children, we are coming for you.”

“We are not done,” Bongino said. “We are in the process of identifying and moving in on those who threw rocks at law enforcement officers and damaged property. I told you we would not forget. I wasn’t kidding. . . . We told you that the rioting was not going to slow us down. It has not. We are fully engaged.”

Though the FBI acknowledges there is more work to be done, he said to stay tuned on disclosures and the public corruption fronts. 

“For those who have been patient with us, thank you,” Bongino said. “For those who are out of patience, thank you, too. Believe me, we understand. God bless America, and all those who defend Her.”
