Unstoppable! FBI under new leader catches three most-wanted fugitives already

The FBI is on a roll under new Director Kash Patel, with the agency having already caught three of its most wanted fugitives.

“The FBI and @TheJusticeDept @AGPamBondi have captured our third fugitive on the Ten Most Wanted list since January 20, 2025,” Patel announced in a tweet on Tuesday.

“That’s not an accident. 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,” he added.

Nicole Parker, a Fox News contributor who previously worked as an FBI agent, is loving what she’s seeing.

“This is the FBI that I was proud to work for, and I’m really excited to see that they have already arrested several of the FBI’s Most Wanted fugitives,” she told Fox News in an interview.

She added that she believes Patel will “make the FBI, in my opinion, the number one, premier law enforcement agency again.”

The three fugitives caught by the FBI are Francisco Javier Roman-Bardales, a top MS-13 leader; Arnoldo Jimenez, who’s accused of murdering his wife in Illinois; and Donald Eugene Fields II, who’s been charged with sex trafficking and child rape.

Roman-Bardales, the MS-13 boss, was originally caught by Mexico but then immediately turned over to the U.S.

“Mexico’s security chief Omar García Harfuch applauded the arrest Monday, which his agency said was the result of international cooperation,” according to the Associated Press. “The agency referred to his handover as a deportation to the United States.”

The FBI also found and detained Justin Smith, a man who killed his pregnant girlfriend and unborn child in 2021. Smith was on the general Most Wanted list.

“This is what we need,” Parker said of these arrests. “We need to hold these individuals accountable. To take several of them off of the streets within two months is absolutely phenomenal. I am so excited to see what is in store for the FBI over the next three and a half years.”

“Again, we’re only two months into it, and for this to have already occurred, it shows me that Kash Patel is serious when he says, ‘Let good cops be good cops.’ Let’s let them just do their jobs,” she added.

Meanwhile, a measly four — just FOUR — “Most Wanted” fugitives were caught during former President Joe Biden’s entire term in office.

As the director of the FBI, Patel is also reportedly trying to up the agency’s training protocol by potentially enlisting Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) fighters to train his agents.

Speaking with the media during a UFC event earlier this month, UFC boss Dana White confirmed that the report is true.

“He’s dead serious about that [plan],” White said. “We’ll see how that starts to come together.”

“After [the initial reports about Pate’s plan came out], my phone blew up because all these fighters want to be the trainers of the FBI guys now. I’ve got everybody hitting me up,” he added.

At least one UFC fighter, Justin Gaethje, has said he’s willing to help.

“I just heard about it while I was training for this fight,” Gaethje told reporters. “So I don’t know many details, and I don’t really even know how it would work. But I’d absolutely want to be a part of it in any way I can.”

“I’m not sure what I can do. I don’t think these guys have a lot of hand-to-hand combat in their job. I think if they’re going to learn anything, it would be the mindset. But I’ve never had bullets flying at me, so who knows how I’d handle that. It will be interesting,” he added.

And lastly, Patel has been busy handing over Biden-era documents to congressional Republicans for scrutiny and investigation.

The first round of documents was submitted about two weeks ago to the House Judiciary Committee pursuant to a subpoena filed by Committee Chair Jim Jordan late last month.
