DOJ Arrests Over 300

And without any meaningful support from the political class:

• Justice Department officials on Thursday announced the arrests of 300 fugitives as well as sweeping prosecutions against more than 175 people accused of violent crimes — all part of a massive federal law enforcement collaboration over the past two months.

  U.S. Attorney Andrew Boutros called the effort, which he created, “Operation New Dawn.”

  “A new dawn of crime fighting is underway in Chicago,” Boutros, U.S. attorney for the Northern District of Illinois, said alongside other federal law enforcement leaders at a news conference Thursday at the Dirksen Federal Courthouse. He said the announcement was timed to coincide with the country’s 250th anniversary July 4.

  The size of the joint effort was “an experiment,” Boutros said — and something that “had not been done before here in Chicago” and which “worked very, very well.”

  In all, charges were filed against 179 people in 140 new cases, while 305 fugitives were arrested and 24 children who had been kidnapped or lost were returned home.

That's a few hundred votes Porkulous and Conehead will have to make up this November, but don't worry - Chicago, Cook County, Illinois has been replacing "missing" votes for decades.
