Expressing the sense of Congress that Operation Legend was successful in reducing and combating violent crime in the largest cities of the United States and that a future presidential administration committed to enforcing and maintaining law and order should consider implementing a similar policy.
HCONRES 122 is a non-binding resolution expressing Congress's view that Operation Legend - a 2020 federal-local initiative - successfully reduced violent crime in major cities like Chicago, Kansas City, and Memphis. It recommends that future presidential administrations consider deploying federal law enforcement agents to partner with local agencies in high-crime areas, similar to Operation Legend’s 2020 approach. The resolution also proposes providing grant funding to states and cities to hire more officers (including bonuses), impose stricter sentences for repeat offenders, and use bail/pretrial detention to keep dangerous individuals from reentering communities. It does not create new law but urges future administrations to prioritize these strategies to address ongoing violent crime surges.
