On Wednesday afternoon, President Trump, speaking from the Oval Office, took the opportunity to give some facts and figures regarding the success of what the administration is calling Operation Summer Heat. The president was flanked by FBI Director Kash Patel and Attorney General Pam Bondi while delivering his remarks.

President Trump, as is his usual practice, called out the people in his administration spearheading this effort, including AG Bondi:

The AG said:
Men and women of law enforcement say two things to me repeatedly: First, you have taken the handcuffs off them and let them do their job. And you let cops be cops. That's why all this is happening. The director, the deputy director are working around the clock. All of these great men and women in the FBI - think about it, they have families at home. And they are working during a government shutdown right now. Many of them have small children. Many of them - I was talking to an agent this morning, many of them have babies at home. And they are working around the clock to not only keep our country but our world safe. And that's what Operation Summer Heat did. Thank you, director, and to the deputy director, for everything you did on behalf of the Department of Justice, and you're going to continue to keep doing. And they set the stage for what we're doing in Memphis. You're going to hear a lot more about that. Our joint task force, next week, but they set the stage for Memphis. And last night, alone, in Memphis, there were almost 70 arrests, there were 12 guns seized, and there was a 70-year-old man arrested as a result of our operation in Memphis, who raped a child under the age of three. That one case makes everything we're doing worthwhile. So thank you all for being here, on behalf of both of us. Thank you, President Trump.

These are impressive numbers and will no doubt make life easier and safer in the cities that have drawn this attention. The best way to bring down the number of crimes committed by goblins, after all, is to put the goblins in a position where they are unable to prey on the citizenry; in jail, to be specific.
Now that the Trump administration has received its well-deserved plaudits for allowing cops to once more be cops, the next step will have to be persuading prosecutors to once more be prosecutors, and judges to once more be judges. Once that's done, the immediate successes of all of these operations may well lead to a longer-lasting success.
Editor’s Note: The Schumer Shutdown is here. Rather than put the American people first, Chuck Schumer and the radical Democrats forced a government shutdown for healthcare for illegals. They own this.
