'I learned about Operation Legend from actually someone on Twitter who had notified me that it was occurring,' says Kansas City Mayor Quinton Lucas. Some 250 federal law enforcement officers have been sent to the city.

"These are 'street' agents and investigators who will be working to solve murders and take down violent gangs," Barr said.

Chicago and Albuquerque, N.M., will also see federal deployments in the coming days as part of Trump's plan to fight violent crime in U.S. cities. What I have been told about this program was that this is the sort of thing that we're using to really solve violent crimes, murders, nonfatal shootings. And that's what we would be interested in. Other broad-based policing activities, we're not as much.

President Trump’s job is to enforce the law and in cities where the law is not being followed/enforced, Operation Legend will help stop violent crime and help those communities.

So bad, so wrong. Civil War again this time to compress the side of the corresponding government.

If the feds don't notifying the mayor, they cannot say no.

That mayor should be ashamed of himself. Did he not listen to the presidents press conference discussing operation legend yesterday? I support the president helping if cities can’t control the chaos.

Set up a road block

'While Lucas said he welcomed federal cooperation in solving 'some of the awful gun crimes' in the city, [...]' This is NOT federal 'cooperation'. This is an abuse of power.
