President Donald Trump praised the FBI in a Truth Social post last month, saying the agency is doing an “incredible job” after arresting thousands of suspects and disrupting criminal activity nationwide. The president also encouraged the bureau to continue cleaning up the country.
“Since January 20th, more than 28,000 Violent Criminals have been arrested (RECORD BREAKING!), with over 6,000 illegal weapons seized, more than 1,700 child predators and 300 human traffickers taken off the streets, 5,000 innocent children rescued, 2,000 Criminal Enterprises disrupted, 1,900 kilos of Fentanyl (Enough to kill 125 Million people!) taken out—HISTORIC RESULTS,” Trump wrote on Oct. 20.
“We are bringing LAW AND ORDER back to America. Kash, Dan, Andrew, and the men and women of the FBI, are doing a tremendous job, MAKING AMERICA SAFE AGAIN!”
He was referring to FBI Director Kash Patel, Deputy Director Dan Bongino, and Co–Deputy Director Andrew Bailey.
Also last month, Trump and Patel announced that the operation led to the arrests of more than 8,700 violent criminals across major U.S. cities. They said roughly 11,000 homicide suspects were taken into custody, about half of whom were wanted in connection with more than one killing.
Cities including Nashville and New Orleans recorded increases of up to 250 percent in arrests of individuals described by the administration as the most violent offenders.
Nationally, violent crime fell 20 percent compared with the same period in 2024, according to Trump, who characterized the summer as “the safest and most peaceful summer in two decades.”
“There’s still much more work to be done, which is why the FBI continues to work alongside the Department of Justice, the Department of Homeland Security [DHS], and the Department of War to defend law and order and combat violent crime, arrest illegal aliens, and make American cities the safest in the world,” the president said.
“Every American deserves to live in a community where they’re not afraid of being mugged, murdered, robbed, raped, assaulted, or shot. And that’s exactly what our administration is working to deliver,” he added.
Democrats, for some reason, remain opposed to Trump’s crime crackdown in blue cities. In October, Democratic senators issued a joint statement criticizing his deployment of National Guard units to multiple U.S. cities, arguing the moves overstepped presidential authority.
In the statement released by Sen. Alex Padilla’s (D-Calif.) office, the lawmakers warned that what they described as “illegal deployments” risked pushing the boundaries of executive power “beyond their breaking point” and raised concerns about the nation moving toward authoritarian governance.
“Whether in Los Angeles, Chicago, or Portland, the Trump Administration continues fabricating claims of chaos and crime on American streets to justify his false assertions that there is a ‘need’ to deploy troops into our cities—all while literally defunding our police by cutting funding that helps local law enforcement make our cities safer,” the senators claimed.
Meanwhile, the Trump administration is also targeting the millions of people who are in the country illegally.
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said in an Oct. 20 post on X that the administration’s efforts have resulted in the arrest of more than 480,000 criminal noncitizens over a nine-month period.
According to Noem, roughly 70 percent of those taken into custody have either prior convictions or pending criminal charges.
Noem described law enforcement’s progress under President Trump as “nothing short of extraordinary.”
In a separate Oct. 20 announcement, the Department of Homeland Security outlined a new border security initiative. The effort, known as Operation River Wall, is designed to fortify the Rio Grande region and deter illegal crossings, as well as disrupt narcotics trafficking and other criminal activity along the southern border, the agency said.
Dr. James Hiram Bedford was a man of many talents – a professor at the University of California and a veteran of World War I who lived a fulfilled life and traveled the world. But this man will be best remembered as the first person whose body underwent cryonic preservation. It is the practice of preserving a human body (or brain) at extremely low temperatures after death.
Bedford, who was a rather wealthy man, was diagnosed with kidney cancer that metastasized to his lungs in 1967, a time when the medicine was not as advanced as it is today.
He read about in the book The Prospect of Immortality by Dr. Robert Ettinger.
Dr. Ettiger is the founder of the Cryonics Institute and is considered the father of body freezing experiments. His institute provides body freezing services after death, with the aim of potentially reviving it in the future when medical technology has advanced enough to cure the condition that caused the individual’s death.
Having read about this process, Bedfrod asked his body to be frozen after his passing.
On the afternoon of January 12, 1967, he was injected with dimethyl sulfoxide – to protect his internal organs – after all his blood was drained from his body.
Twenty-four years later, Alcor, an organization performing cryonic preservation, opened Bedford’s body and checked his cryogenic condition.
It was determined that the body was preserved nicely. His nose and mouth smelled like blood and his face looked younger than his 73 years. Areas of skin on his chest and neck were discolored and his corneas were the chalky white of ice.
Then, technicians wrapped Bedford in a new sleeping bag and immersed his body in liquid nitrogen to wait.
Today, over 50 years after the promised time to wake Bredford, he’s still just a “mummy.”
According to Robert Nelson, one of three scientist who performed the cryonic preservation, Bredford’s last words were: “I want you to understand that I did not do this with the thought that I would be revived. I did this in the hope that one day my descendants will benefit from this wonderful scientific solution.”
