He also contributed to legislation ensuring funding for global intelligence and security initiatives.
Patel’s legal career includes serving as a terrorism prosecutor at the Department of Justice (DOJ), where he led investigations across multiple conflict zones and successfully prosecuted individuals affiliated with terrorist organizations such as ISIS and Al-Qa’ida. Additionally, he worked as the DOJ Liaison Officer to Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC), collaborating with elite counterterrorism units on high-priority global operations.
