FBI catches more 'most wanted fugitives' in first year of Trump's second term than Biden's 4 years

The FBI has caught 5 of the 10 most wanted fugitives in the first year of President Trump's second term.

FBI Director Kash Patel said the criminals "spent over three decades collectively evading justice" and they have "been put in custody" in under 1 year.

"Under the leadership of President Trump, this FBI is defending the homeland, crushing violent crime, and manhunting," Patel wrote on X.

On Saturday, Alejandro Rosales Castillo, one of the FBI’s most wanted fugitives, was being prepared for extradition to face murder charges in North Carolina.

During a congressional hearing in September, Patel said the Biden administration's FBI caught 4 of the top 10 most wanted terrorists during the entirety of former President Biden's 4-year term.

"We’ve captured at the FBI 4 of the most top 10 wanted fugitives in the world in 7 months," Patel said. "To put that in perspective, that’s as many as my predecessor nabbed in the entirety of the Biden administration. We got 4 — we got more coming."

In March, Newsweek pointed out that the Trump administration had caught 3 individuals on the most wanted list, while the Biden administration hadn't caught any at the same point in the president's 4-year term.
