During a segment on &#8220;Sunday Morning Futures&#8221; with Maria Bartiromo, Bongino warned criminal elements that they could <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >face critically important consequences<\/a>, stating, &#8220;We&#8217;re about to ruin your summer if you&#8217;re a bad guy.&#8221; He emphasized a renewed commitment to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/man-accused-in-child-rape-case-arrested-weeks-after-he-faked-his-own-death-sheriff-says\/\" title=\"Man accused of child rape arrested weeks after faking death, sheriff confirms.\">addressing child exploitation<\/a> and reiterated that law enforcement would take decisive action against offenders.<\/p>\n<p>Bongino highlighted recent successes in combating child predators, reporting that the FBI had apprehended 400 suspects and rescued 115 children in a single month. He also expressed the need to focus resources on high-crime areas, such as memphis and Ohio, while collaborating with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/president-trump-pledges-orderly-transition-of-power\/\" title=\"President ... pledges orderly transition of power\">local law enforcement<\/a> to enhance effectiveness.<\/p>\n<p>Despite concerns about potential budget cuts to the FBI, Bongino and his colleague Kash patel argued that reallocating resources could yield better results than expanding bureaucratic structures. They emphasized a strategy to deploy agents directly to areas most affected by crime,promising that their efforts were just beginning. Bongino warned criminals to be cautious, implying that law enforcement&#8217;s capabilities would catch those who thought they were safe online.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Dan Bongino: &lsquo;We&rsquo;re about to ruin your summer if you&rsquo;re a bad guy&rsquo;<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2075149\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/fbi\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"FBI\">FBI<\/a> Deputy Director <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/dan-bongino\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Dan Bongino\">Dan Bongino<\/a> vowed an aggressive law enforcement crackdown under the leadership of President Donald Trump, warning violent criminals across the country that &ldquo;we&rsquo;re about to ruin your summer if you&rsquo;re a bad guy.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Joined by FBI Director <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/kash-patel\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Kash Patel\">Kash Patel<\/a>, Bongino painted a picture on <em>Sunday Morning Futures With <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/maria-bartiromo\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Maria Bartiromo<\/a><\/em>  of a reinvigorated federal response to violent crime, trafficking, and organized criminal networks.<\/p>\n<div class=\"recommended-stories\">\n<h2>Recommended Stories<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/senate\/3416290\/bernie-sanders-democratic-party-threat-to-democracy\/\">Bernie Sanders backs idea that Democratic Party poses threat to democracy<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/world\/3416029\/jd-vance-marco-rubio-bring-pope-leo-xiv-letter-trump-chicago-bears-jersey\/\">Vance, Rubio bring Pope Leo XIV letter from Trump and Chicago Bears jersey<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/campaigns\/state\/3415836\/new-jersey-democratic-gubernatorial-primary-contenders-fixate-trump\/\">New Jersey Democratic gubernatorial primary contenders fixate on Trump in final debate<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>&ldquo;There really is a new sheriff in town.
