? Morning fam,
Something is happening in St. Louis.
” The FBI is sending more agents and personnel to St. Louis, boosting numbers to their “highest point in years,” and marking another move by the Trump administration to beef up federal presence in an American city.
It represents “one of the largest per capita infusions of full-time agents and intel personnel in the nation,” the office of U.S. Sen. Eric Schmitt said in a statement on Wednesday.
The additions will increase the agency’s violent crime-fighting capabilities, said Schmitt, who pushed for the extra agents.
FBI Director Kash Patel said it brings the office to “its strongest presence in St. Louis in years and we’re here to stay.”
“This investment in St. Louis is about action, not politics, making sure our agents are shoulder to shoulder with local law enforcement to take violent criminals off the streets,” Patel said Wednesday in a statement released through Schmitt’s office.”
