On June 10, FBI and our law enforcement partners became aware of a potential threat to the UFC America 250 event in Washington, D.C. involving individuals outside of the National Capital Region – and thanks to the rapid action of this FBI, our partners, and the Department of Justice in a multi-state operation, multiple individuals are now in custody and allegedly planned attacks were stopped cold. While the result represented the best of investigative work, it was also nothing out of the ordinary for this law enforcement team – we are built to detect, respond to, and bring to justice those who threaten the lives of American citizens - particularly during large gatherings like the historic UFC 250 fight. That’s exactly what we did here. I want to thank our great agents and partners, this work remains ongoing and we will continue to update the public as permitted.    We continue to encourage any American to report anything suspicious at 1-800-CALL-FBI or tips.fbi.gov.”

🚨United States Seizes Domain Names Publishing Nude Digital Forgeries of Famous Women: Use of New TAKE IT DOWN Act to Halt Non-Consensual Publication of Intimate Visual Depictions “These domain seizures mark a significant victory in the fight against deepfake pornography,” said Acting Attorney General @DAGToddBlanche. “The TAKE IT DOWN Act, championed by @FLOTUS, gives us the tools we need to combat the abuse and exploitation of women and children through these fabricated images. The Department of Justice will vigorously enforce this law and deliver justice for victims.” Read more: justice.gov/opa/pr/united-st…

👏 KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK @FBIDirectorKash!
IN CUSTODY: Said Abdullahi Ereg – the FIRST EVER arrest of a “Most Wanted Fraudsters” since the White House Task Force to Eliminate Fraud released our Most Wanted Fraudsters list last week. Ereg just landed in Minneapolis and was taken into custody after turning himself in. He has been wanted on federal charges since 2024.   Ereg allegedly stole over $4 million from the Federal Child Nutrition Program in Minneapolis during the COVID-19 pandemic from 2020-2021. He allegedly falsely claimed to have served meals to children in need, claiming fake reimbursements from the government, and then laundered the money through foreign accounts to fund a lavish lifestyle. He is charged with Conspiracy to Commit Wire Fraud, Wire Fraud, and Money Laundering.   When @VP Vance led the way for the Most Wanted Fraudsters list through the @WhiteHouse @WHFraudTF – this was exactly the righteous goal the Task Force had in mind – to bring to justice all those who have stolen money from hardworking American taxpayers. This historic result is only the beginning - and let it be a message to any fraudster who takes advantage of America, this team will find you. @DAGToddBlanche @FBIMinneapolis

June 8: Preventing laser strikes during the @FIFAWorldCup Over 11,000 complaints involving laser strikes were made in 2025. The FBI takes the threat seriously and has worked closely with the FAA and other partners to clamp down on crimes involving laser pointing particularly during major events like the World Cup. We investigated 57 incidents last year and have several more cases ongoing in 2026.   Laser strikes are a federal crime that can lead to prison time and a hefty fine – not only are they disruptive, they are extremely dangerous, particularly when it comes to those targeting aircrafts.   Safety is paramount during the tournament, and this @FBI and our partners want to be crystal clear when it comes to laser strikes: do not under any circumstance point a laser at any airborne aircraft during this historic event.   A few recent FBI investigations: - An Oregon man pled guilty to pointing a green laser at a Customs and Border Protection helicopter, forcing it to abort its planned landing. - An Albuquerque man was charged with aiming a laser at a Bernalillo County Sheriff’s Office helicopter during an operation, striking the cockpit over a dozen times with repeated hits to the pilot’s eyes. - A resident of Toledo, Ohio, was arrested and charged in federal court with aiming a laser at an Ohio State Highway Patrol helicopter while on its flight path.   Know the law and its consequences. Stay alert and report any suspicious activities by calling 1-800-CALL-FBI or visiting tips.fbi.gov

CONGRATULATIONS to my friend @DAGToddBlanche ! I’ve worked closely with Todd these last 15 months and there is nobody better suited to lead the fight on making America safe again, prosecuting criminal actors, and holding accountable those that have weaponized law enforcement. President Trump has assembled the best law enforcement team on earth - and with Todd at the helm of DOJ the Trump administration will only accelerate our 24/7, nonstop work to restore public trust with taxpayers and continue to deliver the most prolific reduction of crime in U.S. history. Todd is a friend and ally and will be a fantastic Attorney General!

We would not be reading this had Kash not been confirmed as FBI Director. Had we not fought and persuaded, inch-by-inch GOP Senators to confirm him, NO SPLC indictment. All roads to wins for America lead through fighting to make Senate republicans do the right thing. 1/

🚨 JUST IN: The FBI has just RAIDED a $35 MILLION mansion in Southern California after an Iranian tech boss allegedly secretly supplied US military hardware to IRAN’S *MILITARY AND NUCLEAR PROGRAMS* Wow. This is HUGE, @FBIDirectorKash! 👏🏻 Jamshid Ghomi has been ARRESTED by agents and is a dual citizen of Iran He is accused of “selling computer hardware to the Iranian government for use in its military and nuclear operations,” per CalPost “Prosecutors allege Ghomi made millions on those deals and invented elaborate schemes to hide the transactions.” FA US ATTORNEY ESSAYLI: “Ghomi is accused of aiding our declared enemies by selling US-origin computer networking parts to Iran and earning millions of dollars in violation of US sanction laws.” I voted for this law and order.

Told you. @FBI just arrested the man who threatened to kill ICE officers and their families. FAFO.
🚨“WE WILL FIND HIM.” Acting AG @DAGToddBlanche responds after an individual allegedly threatened to murder an I.C.E. officer, his wife, and children. Todd Blanche says threats against law enforcement families cross a line — and federal prosecutors are treating it as a serious crime. The DOJ says accountability is coming.

I know Laken’s family. They are beautiful people live with a loss no family should ever have to know. Reducing her name to a political litmus test for protecting criminal illegal aliens is vile. The Laken Riley Act was about keeping Americans safe. Opposing that is what’s disqualifying. Disgraceful.
Voting for Laken Riley, which gave permission for Trump's mass deportation, is a disqualifying vote to lead our party. As a son of immigrants, I have zero tolerance for throwing immigrants under the bus. thebulwark.com/p/ro-khanna-t…
