On this episode of the Inside the FBI Podcast, we'll share the story behind Operation Summer Heat, a nationwide initiative that aimed to get the worst of the worst violent offenders off American streets and to seize illegal weapons and drugs flowing through our communities, with the ultimate goal of restoring safety to neighborhoods across the United States. We'll also hear FBI Director Kash Patel speak to the significance of this landmark operation.
