\"\"The U.S. Marshals Service concluded a high-impact fugitive apprehension initiative aimed at combating violent crime in 10 cities with a significant number of homicides and shootings.<\/span><\/p>\n

The 30-day Operation North Star resulted in the arrest of 1,501 fugitives including 1,501 fugitives, violent criminals, sex offenders, and self-identified gang members. <\/span><\/p>\n

The arrests took place in Baltimore, Chicago, Houston, Indianapolis, Los Angeles, Memphis, New Orleans, New York City, Philadelphia, and Washington, D.C.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"Throughout the month of June, the U.S. Marshals Service used its broad arrest authority and network of task forces to arrest individuals wanted on charges, including 230 for homicide; and 131 for sexual assault. In addition, investigators seized 166 firearms, more than $53,600 in currency, and more than 33 kilograms of illegal narcotics.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe Marshals remain committed to assisting state and local law enforcement with reducing violent crime in our most vulnerable communities,\u201d said U.S. Marshals Service Director Ronald Davis. \u201cOperation North Star was focused on areas where local law enforcement has seen a\u00a0large\u00a0number of\u00a0homicides and shootings. By partnering with our local and state partners, we are able to\u00a0hone in on\u00a0the most dangerous criminals who cause the most harm. I am very proud to\u00a0lead an agency that is always willing and ready to do the work necessary to quell the violence affecting so many of our cities.\u201d \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
