Since Kash Patel returned the FBI to catching dangerous criminals rather than pursuing political opponents, three fugitives on the bureau’s 10 Most Wanted list have been arrested.

Patel said the captured fugitives are:

• Roman-Bardales: An alleged MS-13 key senior leader, the 47-year-old is accused of racketeering conspiracy, conspiracy to provide and conceal material support and resources to terrorists, narco-terrorism conspiracy, and alien smuggling conspiracy. He was taken into custody in Mexico then extradited to the United States for legal proceedings.

• Arnoldo Jimenez: Police in Burbank, Illinois and the FBI’s law enforcement partners in Mexico helped capture Jimenez, who is accused of murdering his wife, who was found dead in the bathtub of their apartment, less than 48 hours after they were married in Burbank in 2012. He is also accused of fleeing to avoid prosecution.

• Donald Eugene Fields II: In Florida, Lady Lake Police Sgt. Michelle Bilbrey arrested the 60-year-old Fields during a routine traffic stop on Jan. 25. Fields is charged with child sex trafficking and child rape in federal and state court. He is accused of knowingly attempting to recruit, entice, provide, patronize and solicit a minor into engaging in a commercial sex act from about January 2013 until June 2017.

Patel said the FBI, Justice Department and U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi “have captured our third fugitive on the Ten Most Wanted list since January 20, 2025.”

“That’s not an accident,” Patel wrote on X. “When you let good cops be good cops, this is what happens. This administration is giving the new FBI and AG Bondi the resources to get the job done — and we won’t stop.”

Former FBI agent and Fox News contributor Nicole Parker told Fox News Digital: “This is the FBI that I was proud to work for, and I’m really excited to see that they have already arrested several of the FBI’s Most Wanted fugitives.”

Parker believes that in his second term, President Donald Trump’s “focus” is what “Americans care about most: making America safe, focusing on violent crime and taking the most violent criminals off the street.”

Earlier this month, Atlanta police identified and detained Justin Smith, who is not on the Top 10 list but is on the FBI’s general Most Wanted list. Smith allegedly shot his pregnant girlfriend in the head multiple times in Philadelphia in 2021, killing her and her unborn child.

“This is what we need. We need to hold these individuals accountable,” Parker said. “To take several of them off of the streets within two months is absolutely phenomenal. I am so excited to see what is in store for the FBI over the next three and a half years. Again, we’re only two months into it, and for this to have already occurred, it shows me that Kash Patel is serious when he says, ‘Let good cops be good cops.’ Let’s let them just do their jobs.”
