Washington, DC — A late-night federal enforcement operation across the Washington, DC area led to the arrest of 29 individuals in cases involving FBI agents, along with dozens more suspects, bringing the total number of arrests to over 380 since the start of the multi-agency crackdown.
Between Sunday night and early Monday morning, the FBI and its federal partners executed targeted operations across the capital, resulting in 69 arrests tied to a range of serious charges. Among the 29 arrests linked to FBI-led investigations were drug offenses, DUI, assault, destruction of property, and firearms violations. The FBI also reported seven separate drug seizures and the confiscation of four firearms during the sweep.
The ongoing operation, which has unfolded over several weeks, reflects a sustained push by federal authorities to curb crime in and around the capital. Since its launch, more than 380 individuals have been arrested through coordinated efforts involving multiple agencies.
FBI Director Kash Patel released the latest numbers early Monday via social media, attributing the success of the operation to field agents and support from the Trump administration.
No details were released regarding the identities of those arrested or the specific locations of the busts. The FBI has not yet issued an official press release or provided information on upcoming court appearances.
Federal officials say the operation will continue, with more arrests expected as ongoing investigations unfold. The agency did not indicate whether additional charges are pending for those already in custody.
