Kash Patel was sworn in as the director of the FBI on Friday, February 21, after a close Senate vote. The Indian-American referred to it as the best opportunity of his career to head the country’s premier law enforcement agency.

“Anyone who thinks the American Dream is dead, look right here. You’re talking to a first-generation Indian kid who is about to lead the law enforcement community in the greatest nation on God’s Earth,” Patel stated upon taking the oath. He also promised to hold the FBI accountable and adopt “rigorous constitutional oversight starting this weekend.”

With Patel taking on this difficult task, everyone is watching to see how he will meet the demands of heading the country’s premier law enforcement agency.
