US Attorney General William Barr said Operation Legend has resulted in hundreds of arrests in Chicago as he gave an update on the federal crime-fighting initiative Wednesday morning.
Since the program launched in July, Attorney General Barr said more than 500 people have been arrested and 124 people have been charged with federal crimes.

Operation Legend has deployed 1,000 federal agents to nine cities, including 400 to Chicago.
In the first five weeks of Operation Legend in Chicago, Barr said murders dropped by 50 percent over the previous five weeks.
"The bottom line is Operation Legend has played a critical role in cutting Chicago's murder rate roughly in half since before the operation," Barr said.

So, the murder rate cut in half, that’s a good and worthwhile effort. Trump said he would do something about Chicago, and another promise is kept.
It’s not just gang members or drug dealers dying, but lots of innocent people including a boy named Legend, the murdered child after whom the effort was named.

500 is a nice number of arrests. 5000 would be a better number.

Going to help Trump get even more of the black vote. Blacks are terrorized by black gangs.

Lots of arrests and they go right through the turnstile.

Interesting. It seems that the FBI does have some people capable of charging people with crimes. Perhaps we could move a few of these people to the Durham team.

"The bottom line is Operation Legend has played a critical role in cutting Chicago's murder rate roughly in half since before the operation," Barr said.Actions NOT words - works for me. Way to go Barr.
