The U.S. Marshals Service arrested more than 13,000 individuals with open warrants as part of a national operation aimed at targeting the "worst of the worst" violent, repeat offenders.
The Justice Department announced the results of the six-week fugitive sweep Wednesday, which targeted individuals wanted for crimes like homicides, sex assaults and aggravated assaults.
Dubbed Operation Violence Reduction, the sweep focused on 12 cities currently combatting upticks in violent crime, including Baltimore; Washington, D.C.; Chicago; Milwaukee, Wisconsin; and New Orleans.
"This was not a dragnet-type operation designed to arrest anyone with an outstanding warrant," said Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates. "It was focused and targeted. That's because we know that the majority of violence in our communities can usually be traced to a relatively small number of bad actors."
Officials said the operation, which was up and running from Feb. 1 to March 11, brought in 8,045 fugitives who were targeted because of open warrants for violent crimes and another 5,446 fugitives who were arrested in the course of the operations.
Among those arrested, 559 were wanted for homicides and 946 for sex offenses, and 648 were known gang members.
In Baltimore alone, 148 fugitives - including 23 people wanted for murder - were arrested as part of the sweep.

See. That can do it if they put their minds and their muscle to it.
More than likely, illegal status will be a “get out of jail free” card for all but the most egregious offenders. Another downside to being a citizen, even a dodgy one.
Big deal, the liberal judges will put them all back on the streets in short order.
A little late to the party?
Exactly.
Of all those arrested they will release the illegals.
I’m wondering where they’re going to put all of them. How many criminals are going to have to be let out of jail early in order to make room for them?
They’ll let the illegals go.
Watch.
And what about the rest of the cities?
The under populated rural places that nobody talks about. That doesn’t get press because they aren’t a huge voting base?
“worst of the worst” violent, repeat offenders.
Professors: “This is code for anti-minority”.
“946 for sex offenses”
Liberals: “This is aggression against LGBTQ for their alternative lifestyle!”
Operation: “We have known where you are for 10 years but Hillary needs to show that the RATS are tough on crime”
Obama leaves the country and something gets done /s
and that is how you reduce crime-not by stripping away second amendment rights from law abiding citizens.
“Look what we’re doing!!! We are cleaning the place up!!!”
Then the front door closes...The lights go out.........
The back door opens and with a little pat on their shoulders, “Ya’ll go on now...Be careful, ya hear??”
Probably just a voter registration drive/catch and release program.
Joe Arpaio for Director of the Federal Bureau of Prisons. Make America Great Again!
Hmmm. I wonder if any of those arrested are part of those in the group that Obama ordered released from prison months ago?
They won’t be held long - just long enough to make some lawyers happy and renew old acquaintances before being sent on their way to do what they do best.
