Trump Announces Which City Is Next As Part of Ongoing Crimefighting Push

“These are great cities that could be fixed,” the president said. “I’m going to be strongly recommending … [we] start looking at San Francisco. I think we can make San Francisco one of our great cities. … It’s a mess, and we have great support in San Francisco. … Every American deserves to live in a community where they’re not afraid of being mugged, murdered, robbed, raped, assaulted, or shot.”

During the news conference, FBI Director Kash Patel announced that “Operation Summer Heat,” a federal initiative targeting violent offenders, resulted in 8,700 arrests over a three-month period.

Patel said the operation also led to the seizure of more than 2,200 firearms and 421 kilograms of fentanyl — an amount he noted was sufficient to kill an estimated 55 million Americans.
