More than 100 alleged foreign spies have been arrested and hundreds of suspected plots disrupted, FBI Director Kash Patel has revealed, as he cited what he described as the bureau's latest national security enforcement efforts.
Patel said the FBI had arrested 113 active foreign spies, recorded a 53% increase in counterintelligence arrests, disrupted 850 active plots, made 4,800 cartel arrests and secured a 77% increase in cyber indictments. He did not specify the reporting period, methodology or baseline for the figures, making it difficult to compare them with previous FBI data or broader national security trends.
