Attorney General William Barr announced Wednesday that there have been nearly 1,500 arrests across eight U.S. cities thus far under the"Operation Legend" law enforcement initiative launched roughly six weeks ago and highlighted by President Donald Trump in his reelection campaign.
"That’s more than 90 suspected killers who might still be on the streets without Operation Legend," Barr said at a news conference in Kansas City, Missouri.Officials at the news conference could not say how many of the 1,485 individuals arrested under Operation Legend still remain in custody. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives also says it has seized nearly 400 firearms since the start of the operation.
Barr launched Operation Legend early last month, telling ABC News Chief Justice Correspondent Pierre Thomas in an exclusive interview that the initiative was named in honor of 4-year-old LeGend Taliferro -- who was shot and killed in his sleep on June 29 in Kansas City.MORE: Kansas City police arrest alleged killer of 4-year-old LeGend Taliferro, namesake of 'Operation LeGend'
Local leaders have in several instances been initially resistant to the administration's announcements that it would be deploying federal investigators to cities seeing surges in violent crime, citing scenes from Seattle and Portland of troops in fatigues and Trump's election-year threats to crack down on cities run by Democrats.
