More federal coordination practice with state and local agencies.
This time, the focus, at least the focus of this article, seems to be sex offenders, who, like pimps and gang members, "hide in their mommy's closet" when pursued and are easy to find.

How many Jews were typically rounded up at a time to be put in the boxcars? Does anyone on the list have that information handy? Leigh .
In all, officials said they caught 10,733 fugitives. Among them were 364 gang members and thousands of others sought on kidnapping, robbery, burglary, carjacking and weapons charges. More than 230 weapons were collected. Those totals represent a fraction of doors knocked on, liquor store drive-bys, construction site surveillances and tips chased down by agents during the weeklong sweep.
