#1 "We told folks in Baltimore that 2016 was going to be a different year."

I'm sure the folks at Black Lives Matter will be rioting in response any day now.

#3 Yes, good collection, but why is this news? Why aren't the worst offenders swept up every week? If you know much crime comes from a few bad actors, why are they still on the street - bad judges? Poor prosecutors? So they'll be sprung in a week in the ol' catch and release game?

The Moderator with the ~~pink~~ salmon highlight poses a good question - how many are illegals? How many of those cities 'with an uptick in violent crime' are sanctuary cities? I wonder if the sanctuary cities have a higher rate of these bad boy arrests, and violent crime. Why doesn't the media wonder, I wonder? Why didn't they arrest these jerks last year?

#4 Under current Federal guidelines, any illegals in the group will be released immediately. The rest will have to post bail or stay in the slammer.

#5 I hope this 'sweep' is an attempt to find and/or collect intelligence on certain key entities, but I suppose such an effort would make too much sense.

#6 How many will be released under 'haven city' statutes?

#7 Bobby, note these were regional arrests by FEDERAL agents. Another action by 'tough on crime' Ozbama to diminish authority of local police, who may be corrupt and paid-off anyway.

Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, US Marshals do not have holding facilities of their own so they can use any authorized local facility.
