President Trump’s FBI Strikes Again: Another ‘Most Wanted’ Fugitive Captured
President Donald J. Trump has made it clear: those who bring crime and chaos to our communities will be tracked down and brought to justice—no matter where they hide.
In a major victory for law enforcement, Francisco Javier Roman-Bardales—a senior leader of the notorious MS-13 gang—has been extradited from Mexico to the United States. FBI Director Kash Patel announced that Roman-Bardales, one of the agency’s “Ten Most Wanted” fugitives, was apprehended for his role in a series of violent crimes, including drug trafficking, extortion, and orchestrating brutal attacks on civilians and rival gangs across the U.S. and El Salvador.
Roman-Bardales is the third individual from the FBI’s “Ten Most Wanted” list to be captured under President Trump’s leadership in 2025 alone. Just days earlier, on January 30, Arnoldo Jimenez—wanted for first-degree murder—was taken into custody. On January 25, Donald Eugene Fields II, accused of child rape and sex trafficking, was also apprehended.
These arrests send a powerful message: under the Trump Administration, public safety remains a top priority, and the full force of federal law enforcement will be used to protect the American people.
