The Justice Department is sending federal agents to St. Louis and Memphis in an expansion of a program focusing on federal gun prosecutions
The Justice Department said Thursday it is sending federal agents to St. Louis and Memphis, Tenn., in an expansion of a crime-fighting program that officials say focuses on aggressive federal gun prosecutions.
The agents will work alongside local police to solve shootings, arrest fugitives, thwart illegal gun sales, crack down on gangs and bring more cases in federal court, where prosecutors can seek longer sentences that can be served at out-of-state prisons.
