Operation Legend helped throw federal firepower, mostly metaphorical, at the crime wave eating up major cities like Chicago. Overloaded police forces got the cavalry and criminals who had gotten used to "prog" DAs freeing them as almost soon as they were brought in, were suddenly getting the book thrown at them.

And there are results.

.....
Since the operation’s launch, through Monday, August 31, 2020, more than 2000 arrests – included 147 for homicide – have been made; more than 544 firearms have been seized; and more than seven kilos of fentanyl, 14 kilos of heroin, 12 kilos of cocaine, and 50 kilos of methamphetamine have been seized.

.....
Those are solid numbers. And probably helping keep the situation from spinning entirely out of control.

But, it should go without saying, that federal law enforcement is no substitute for local justice systems that simply don't work. The role of federal law enforcement has been ambiguous and controversial. And it's meant to tackle specific larger challenges. When policing, prosecutions, and prisons cease to function locally, the feds can only do so much. Federal prosecutors are already overloaded in many areas (except in New York where SDNY has nothing to do but pursue political vendettas against Republicans), and Gorsuch's horrible decision claiming that most of Oklahoma is an Indian reservation further overloaded federal resources.
