FBI’s Big Sweep: Five days, numerous cities and one big bite out of crime

Deputy Director Dan Bongino said recent successes in Milwaukee, San Antonio, New York and Philadelphia were the outgrowth of enhanced partnerships with local police departments.

Director Kash Patel’s FBI has been building fresh alliances with local police for months, and that effort is now paying big dividends as a sweeping crime crackdown disabled illegal enterprises in cities nationwide that hit everything from the Mafia to drug cartels.

FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino gave a weekend update that added new details on the national crackdown, including an operation Friday code-named “Chalkline” that used 14 SWAT teams to penetrate street gangs that had been terrorizing Milwaukee and Racine in southeastern Wisconsin.
