周二上午，FBI局长卡什·帕特尔利用社交媒体发布了一条人们耳熟能详的吹嘘：“本FBI在追捕十大通缉犯方面取得了历史性成功，”这位前播客名人写道。“自特朗普政府上任以来，我们已抓获十大通缉犯中的十名，是过去四年抓获的十大通缉犯数量的2.5倍。”数小时后，帕特尔出现在福克斯新闻上，肖恩·汉尼提重复了这一说法，这位FBI局长接受了主持人的祝贺。
On Tuesday morning, FBI Director Kash Patel used social media to push a familiar boast“This FBI has had historic success manhunting Ten Most Wanted fugitives,” the former podcast personality wrote. “Since the start of the Trump administration, we’ve captured TEN of the Top Ten Most Wanted, 2.5 times the number of TMW [the Ten Most Wanted] fugitives captured during the previous four years combined.”Hours later, Patel appeared on Fox News where Sean Hannity repeated the claim, and the FBI director accepted the host’s congratulatory message.
汉尼提：不到两年时间，你就抓到了FBI十大通缉犯的全部十人。拜登执政期间，他们四年才抓到四个？帕特尔：是的。
Hannity: In less than two years, you got all ten of the FBI’s most wanted. Under Biden, they had four in four years? Patel: Yeah.
2026年9月30日 诚然，联邦执法人员将全国头号通缉犯缉拿归案，这显然是件好事。但帕特尔重复他此前就曾吹嘘过的说法时，有一个相关细节不应被忽视。
September 30, 2026 To be sure, it’s obviously good news when federal law enforcement personnel take the nation’s most wanted suspects into custody. But as Patel echoes a boast he has made before, there’s a relevant detail that shouldn’t go overlooked.
MS NOW的卡罗尔·莱昂尼格和肯·迪拉尼安5月报道称，据六名了解相关变动的执法部门消息人士透露，帕特尔领导的FBI实施了新政策，这些政策夸大了上述数字，也夸大了该局在遏制犯罪方面取得的进展。
MS NOW’s Carol Leonnig and Ken Dilanian reported in May Patel’s FBI has imposed new policies that inflate these numbers and overstate the bureau’s progress in stemming crime, according to a half dozen law enforcement sources with knowledge of the changes.
MS NOW对帕特尔任内FBI十大通缉犯名单变动情况的审查还发现，FBI操纵了这一标志性的该局项目，以虚假地暗示取得了迅速进展；在此期间，该局在探员抓获某些逃犯仅数小时或数天前，才匆忙将这些人的名字加入名单。换言之，至少在某些情况下，这一流程是这样展开的：
An MS NOW review of changes in the FBI’s Most Wanted list during Patel’s tenure also found that the FBI manipulated that iconic bureau program to falsely suggest rapid progress; in that time, the bureau quickly added the names of some fugitives just hours or days before agents capture them. In other words, the process, at least in some instances, has unfolded like this:
- FBI知道它即将逮捕某名犯罪嫌疑人。
- The FBI knows it’s about to apprehend a criminal suspect.
- FBI迅速将该嫌疑人列入十大通缉犯名单。
- The FBI quickly adds that suspect to the Most Wanted List.
- FBI将该嫌疑人缉拿归案。
- The FBI takes that suspect into custody.
- 帕特尔吹嘘自己在逮捕十大通缉犯名单上人员方面的记录。在一个尤为突出的例子中，FBI领导层将一名嫌疑人列入名单后，探员们将其逮捕。
- Patel brags about his track record on arresting those on the Most Wanted List. In one especially striking example, agents apprehended one suspect after FBI leadership placed him on the list.
该机构当时否认了这些报道的真实性；不过《MS NOW》援引了一位FBI官员的话，该官员承认：“他们现在提名的人，要么是即将被逮捕的嫌疑人，要么是我们掌握确凿证据、能够促成其被逮捕的人。那些‘最恶劣的罪犯’以及那些我们一直找不到的逃犯，已经不再被列入这份名单了。”
The bureau denied the accuracy of the reporting at the time, though MS NOW quoted one FBI official who conceded, “They are literally just nominating people they’re about to arrest or that they have solid information on and can affect arrest. Gone are the days of nominating the worst of the worst and fugitives that we haven’t been able to find.”
另一位前FBI官员补充说：“虽然这份‘十大通缉犯名单’一直存在一些‘操纵’行为（即某些人为了个人目的而影响名单的编制），但在现任领导人的领导下，这种行为已经达到了一个全新的程度。”这些内容在帕特尔最近接受福克斯新闻采访时并未被提及。不过，如果这位局长继续使用这一宣传话术的话，这个细节确实值得人们记住。
Another former official with the bureau added, “There has always been a bit of gaming of the ‘Top 10,’ but it’s a whole new level under this leadership.”None of this came up during Patel’s latest Fox News appearance. But if the director is going to keep using this talking point, it’s a detail worth remembering.
帕特尔在讲话中吹嘘FBI通缉名单的成功率很高，但《MS NOW》指出其中隐藏着一些问题（即这些数据可能存在不实或被操纵的情况）。
The post Patel boasts about success rate on FBI’s Most Wanted list, but there’s a catch MS NOW
