In a dramatic start to his tenure as FBI Deputy Director, Dan Bongino announced on social media that a massive drug seizure has taken place in Texas, signaling a no‑nonsense approach to law enforcement under the Trump administration. Just a week into his new role, Bongino shared that the FBI’s Houston team had seized an astonishing 150 kilos of narcotics—and completed two successful operations earlier that morning—sending a clear message: it’s a bad day to be a bad guy.
“Our @FBIHouston team is doing unbelievable work getting illegal drugs off the streets,” Bongino declared on X (formerly Twitter). “Thank you, agents. You are making America safe.” His enthusiastic praise not only highlights the operational momentum of his new leadership but also reinforces his commitment to restoring law and order.
I. A Stellar Start for Bongino
Bongino’s appointment marks a significant leadership shift at the FBI. A former Secret Service agent and NYPD officer, Bongino was handpicked by President Donald Trump last month to serve as the Deputy Director, reflecting a broader strategy aimed at intensifying crackdowns on illegal activities and bolstering national security. With his extensive background in law enforcement and a reputation built through years of conservative commentary on political corruption, Bongino is already positioning himself as a champion for tough, no‑nonsense policing.
