The FBI has captured its third fugitive from the “Ten Most Wanted Fugitives” list since President Donald Trump took office on Jan. 20, according to agency director Kash Patel.

In a post on X on Tuesday night, Patel said the FBI’s success in bringing down some of America’s most wanted is “not an accident” and can be attributed to letting “good cops be good cops.”

“When you let good cops be good cops, this is what happens. This administration is giving the new FBI and AG Bondi the resources to get the job done — and we won’t stop,” Patel wrote.

He also praised the Department of Justice and Attorney General Pam Bondi for their work.

“I can now confirm that last night, working with the Justice Department and other interagency partners, the FBI has extradited one of our ‘Ten Most Wanted’ from Mexico — one we believe to be a key senior leader of MS-13, Francisco Javier Roman-Bardales,” Patel said in a statement.

The arrest and handover of Bardales took place a few weeks after Mexico extradited more than 29 drug cartel figures to the U.S., including drug lord Rafael Caro Quintero, who was allegedly behind the 1985 killing of a DEA agent.
