In Memphis today, U.S. Attorney General William Barr said the federal crime fighting initiative “Operation LeGend” has resulted in 64 arrests, the Daily Memphian reports. Charges have ranged from homicide to narcotics to firearms offenses. Barr came to Memphis to provide an update on the operation and used the opportunity to thank Memphis police and the 40 federal agents in the city as part of the initiative for doing their jobs in spite of increased pressure on law enforcement in the country. Across the nation, Operation LeGend is operating in eight cities and a total of 5,500 arrests have been made.
