More than 200 charged with federal crimes, 1,000 arrested in Operation Legend, AG Barr announces | Fox News
Operation Legend was named after a little boy who was killed in his bed by stray gunfire.
This is the result of efforts by local authorities to enlist the help of the FBI. I presume the FBI has intelligence tools not available to local law enforcement. Either way, they do make a difference. We need a lot more of this, and I bet we are going to see a lot of protestors going to jail on federal charges of arson, and state crimes of assaulting police.
At least 207 people have been charged with a federal crime, and more than 1,000 arrests have been made in major metropolitan cities since the Department of Justice launched Operation Legend in July, U.S. Attorney General William Barr announced on Wednesday.
Nearly 400 firearms have been seized by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives.
Barr launched Operation Legend on July 8 as “a sustained, systematic and coordinated law enforcement initiative in which federal law enforcement agencies work in conjunction with state and local law enforcement officials to fight violent crime,” the DOJ said in a release.
