Deputy U.S. Marshals from the District of Arizona arrested 140 people in August and September during a violent gang enforcement operation. Deputies executed “Operation Snake Eyes” in the Phoenix metropolitan area.
U.S. Marshals Service deputies carried out a six-week operation beginning on August 10 in the Phoenix area to target violent fugitives and gang members, AZFamily.com reported. Operation Snake Eyes (OSE) led to the arrest of 140 fugitives, including 51 gang members, and the seizure of a large number of firearms and cash.
“One issue that most people will agree with while debating police issues, is that those who intentionally and indiscriminately cause harm, murder, and terrorize citizens should be a priority of the criminal justice system. Operation Snake Eyes focused on gang members, violent criminals, and communities with a high degree of violent gun-related crimes,” United States Marshal for the District of Arizona David Gonzales said in a written statement. “This evidence-based approach to violent crime has shown to be an effective strategy in reducing crime and helping in make our communities safer.”
The operation focused on what Gonzales called “the worst of the worst,” KTAR News reported.
“The success of Operation Snake Eyes is a testament to the hard work and collaborative effort of our law enforcement partners,” United States Attorney for the District of Arizona Michael Bailey said in a written statement. “As prosecutors, we are proud to serve alongside these dedicated men and women, as well as our colleagues at the MCAO, in seeking justice against gang members and violent offenders in our state.”

The U.S. Marshals continue to do God’s work!
140 fewer democrat votes.
LEO’s in border states are able to concentrate on cartel activity in urban areas as the border wall progresses. Various enforcement statistics should improve as the super wall system technology tracks border crossers and cartel drug transport to urban areas in the SW border states.
I live in the Phoenix area and heartily endorse and applaud this action.
But, reading the description of the strategy used, it reminds me of what during the Obama era was called “profiling”. Wasn’t that condemned as illegal and racist?
I hope our progressive friends don’t remember and try to stop this return to sanity and common sense.
