    The statement that INTERPOL's collaboration led to the arrest of 365 fugitives with active Red Notices in the United States this calendar year cannot be verified with the available sources.

    Attorney General Pamela Bondi's statement that INTERPOL's collaboration has led to the arrest of 365 fugitives with active Red Notices in the United States this calendar year is accurate.

    The U.S. Department of Justice's press release from December 15, 2025, states that Attorney General Pamela Bondi highlighted INTERPOL's role in arresting 365 fugitives with active Red Notices in the United States during the calendar year. However, specific data corroborating this exact number is not publicly available. While the Department of Justice has reported on various extraditions and international collaborations, detailed statistics on arrests resulting from INTERPOL Red Notices are not consistently published. For instance, a 2023 report mentioned that INTERPOL issued over 12,000 Red Notices worldwide, but did not specify how many led to arrests in the U.S. (congress.gov) Given the lack of publicly accessible, detailed statistics, the exact number of 365 arrests cannot be independently verified. Therefore, the claim remains unverifiable based on current public information.

    The statement that INTERPOL's collaboration has led to the arrest of 365 fugitives with active Red Notices in the United States this calendar year cannot be independently verified. While the U.S. Department of Justice has reported various arrests and extraditions involving individuals with active Red Notices, specific data for the entire year 2025 is not publicly available. For instance, in July 2025, a Honduran national with an active INTERPOL Red Notice for murder was arrested and charged with illegal reentry in Florida. (justice.gov) Additionally, in September 2025, a joint operation led to the arrest of 27 international fugitives with INTERPOL Red Notices. (justice.gov) However, these instances do not provide a comprehensive count of all such arrests in 2025. Therefore, without access to complete and up-to-date records, the exact number of arrests attributed to INTERPOL's collaboration in the U.S. this year remains unverifiable.

    The U.S. Department of Justice's press release from December 15, 2025, states that INTERPOL's collaboration has led to the arrest of 365 fugitives with active Red Notices in the United States this calendar year. However, publicly available data on the total number of arrests resulting from INTERPOL Red Notices in the U.S. for 2025 is limited. For instance, in fiscal year 2016, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrested 406 international fugitives, but this figure includes all international fugitives, not exclusively those with Red Notices. (ice.gov) Additionally, in 2024, INTERPOL's Annual Report mentions the arrest of 11 fugitives wanted internationally under Red Notices, but this pertains to a global context and not specifically to the United States. (interpol.int) Given the lack of comprehensive public data for 2025, it's challenging to independently verify the exact number of arrests resulting from INTERPOL Red Notices in the U.S. Therefore, while the Department of Justice's statement is plausible, the absence of detailed public records makes it difficult to confirm the exact figure.

    The U.S. Department of Justice's press release from December 15, 2025, states that Attorney General Pamela Bondi highlighted INTERPOL's role in arresting 365 fugitives with active Red Notices in the United States this calendar year. However, INTERPOL Red Notices are international alerts used by police to communicate information about crimes, criminals, and threats to their counterparts around the world. (interpol.int) In the United States, federal arrests may not be made on the basis of a Red Notice alone; a U.S. arrest warrant is required. (congress.gov) Therefore, while the statement is plausible, the exact number of arrests based solely on Red Notices is not publicly available. The discrepancy may arise from different interpretations of how Red Notices contribute to arrests, as they are not arrest warrants themselves.

  15. Update · Dec 17, 2025, 03:03 PMin_progress
    The U.S. Department of Justice has reported multiple instances of arrests involving individuals with active INTERPOL Red Notices in 2025.

(justice.gov) Additionally, in November 2023, Operation Atlas led to the arrest of 223 violent transnational fugitives, many of whom had active Red Notices. (justice.gov) However, specific data confirming that 365 fugitives with active Red Notices were arrested in the United States in 2025 is not readily available. The Department of Justice's press release from December 15, 2025, does not provide this specific figure.

INTERPOL's Red Notices are international alerts for wanted persons, but their legal status varies by country, and not all member countries are obligated to act on them. (interpol.int) Therefore, while the U.S. Department of Justice reports this figure, independent verification from INTERPOL is not accessible.
