Ryan Wedding arrest gets announced with FBI and RCMP bosses standing together. You're watching the press conference. FBI Director Kash Patel calls Wedding a "modern day El Chapo" and "modern day Pablo Escobar." Then he credits President Trump's leadership for the capture. The RCMP Commissioner congratulates everyone. The stage is packed with law enforcement from two countries celebrating six of the FBI's Ten Most Wanted captured this year.

Edwards points to the spectacle: 60 metric tons of cocaine allegedly moved through Southern California, multiple murders ordered including four in Ontario, and $55 million in seized assets including motorcycles, artwork, and a $13 million Mercedes. FBI boss Patel spent the press conference listing arrest statistics up 200 percent and thanking Trump for "historic record-breaking numbers." Wedding turned himself in at the U.S. Embassy after negotiations, according to reports, not a dramatic takedown.

The press conference focused on congratulations and political credit more than investigative details. Next arrest announcement, watch who gets thanked before you hear how the case actually broke.
