Federal authorities arrested Andrew and Tristan Tate in Miami on Saturday, July 19, 2026, according to reporting by CBS News and the New York Times. The arrests followed sex crime charges filed by United Kingdom authorities, with the new charges concerning alleged offenses dating back to 2010, according to U.K. officials as reported by the New York Times.

The brothers, widely known as online influencers, were taken into custody by federal authorities in Miami, CBS News reported. The specific U.S. federal agency or agencies involved in executing the arrests have not been publicly confirmed in available source material as of the time of this report.

U.K. authorities filed the charges after what the New York Times described as years of investigations conducted in both Britain and Romania. The nature of the coordination between U.S. federal agencies, U.K. authorities, and Romanian officials in bringing about Saturday's arrests has not been detailed in publicly available court filings or official statements reviewed for this report.

Several material facts remain unknown at this time. The specific U.S. federal charges, if any, filed in connection with the arrests have not been confirmed in available public records. The extradition request, if filed, would be documented through U.S. federal court records accessible via PACER — the Public Access to Court Electronic Records system — which would contain the formal extradition proceedings and any bail or detention rulings. The timeline for any extradition hearing, if applicable, is not yet part of the public record.

We Follow the Data, Not the Narrative

The Congressional Times exists because public records are public — and the analysis built from them should not be exclusive to those who can afford $60,000-a-year intelligence subscriptions.

Every story published in The Congressional Times is sourced to a verifiable public record: a court filing, a Senate lobbying disclosure, an FEC contribution record, a USASpending contract, or a verified news report. We state our sources inline. We show our math. When we are wrong, we say so publicly.

We do not editorialize in news coverage. We do not use loaded language. Both political parties are held to identical standards.

The Follow the Money investigations are the heart of this publication. Each begins with Gab-E Political Intelligence running against 10+ million government records before a single word of editorial is written.

How We Source, Verify, and Correct Our Work

Every factual claim in a Congressional Times story is checked against a primary source: a government filing, a court record, a direct quote, before publication. When a claim can't be verified or doesn't hold up as originally reported, we drop it or reframe it. We do not publish disputed claims as settled fact.

When we get it wrong: we correct the story directly, note the correction and date at the bottom of the piece, and update the record. We do not quietly edit and move on.

Bylines: stories with a named byline are written and fact-checked by that person. Stories without a byline are sourced from Gab-E Political Intelligence, our automated research platform, and are labeled as such.

Ownership: The Congressional Times is published by Gab-E Holdings LLC. Gab-E, our intelligence platform, powers our sourcing and research pipeline.
