womensmarch: Trump has directed federal agents to attack our communities with military-grade weapons. Operation Legend is a direct threat against our Constitution, and our democracy. It must be opposed.
On Saturday night, Detroit police attacked and arrested peaceful protesters, including a legal observer and a photographer, for blocking Woodward Avenue near John R in downtown Detroit. The protesters were demanding the end of "Operation Legend," a federal law enforcement initiative launched by President Trump's Justice Department.
Detroit is among eight cities where dozens of ATF, DEA, and FBI agents have been deployed. Photographer Adam J. Dewey said protesters were peaceful when police attacked, using tear gas, pepper spray, shields, and batons. Some protesters were bleeding. He said an officer pointed an assault weapon at him.

"The results of those actions speak for themselves," the attorney general said. "Over the first five weeks of Operation Legend in Chicago, murders dropped by 50% over the previous five weeks. August ultimately saw a 45% decrease in murders compared to July, and a 35% decrease compared to June."
In the weeks and months before the operation was launched, Chicago had been plagued with a historic rise in violent crime. Nearly every conceivable category of criminal activity had experienced increases — including murder, shootings, looting, and vandalism. Many worried that the situation would continue to spiral without a more expansive police presence.
Now, with the addition of federal assistance, Barr said, the city's murder rate is at its lowest since April, as the operation has successfully cut the rate "roughly in half since before the operation."
A total of 147 people have been arrested for homicide, 544 firearms have been seized, and around 182 pounds (83 kilograms) of narcotics—including heroin, cocaine, meth, and fentanyl—have been removed from the streets during the operation, according to a Thursday Department of Justice press release.
Around 480 of the arrestees were charged with federal offenses throughout Kansas City, Missouri; Chicago; Albuquerque; Cleveland; Detroit; Milwaukee; St. Louis; Memphis; and Indianapolis, the release said.
Chicago had the most felony arrests with 103 since the program took effect in there on July 22, according to the news release. Kansas City, Missouri, was a close second with a total of 99 felony apprehensions, the DOJ wrote.
Operation Legend began July 8 under the direction of Attorney General William Barr. It was named after 4-year-old LeGend Taliferro, who was fatally shot at his Kansas City, Missouri, home, the press release said.
