Monaco in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.justice.gov\/opa\/pr\/us-marshals-arrest-more-6000-murder-suspects-2021-over-84000-fugitives-apprehended\">press release<\/a>. \u201cAt a time of unprecedented challenges posed by a global pandemic, the U.S. Marshals continue to deliver on their mission, tracking down and arresting more than 84,000 fugitives. The Department of Justice, through our law enforcement components like the U.S. Marshals Service, will continue to prioritize our efforts to reduce violent crime and keep our neighborhoods safe.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The USMS also arrested a fugitive on the \u201c15 Most Wanted\u201d list. In October 2021, Marshals arrested Jory Worthen, an Arkansas man accused of murdering his girlfriend and 4-year-old son in June 2019. \u201cThe investigation led to Burbank, California, where Worthen was located and arrested after a short foot pursuit,\u201d the DOJ said. \u201cHe was extradited back to Arkansas where, in September, Worthen accepted a plea deal that includes never being eligible for parole. As part of the agreement, Worthen pleaded guilty to two counts of first-degree murder. He is serving two concurrent life sentences.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The USMS established the 15 Most Wanted Fugitive Program in 1983 \u201cto prioritize the investigation and apprehension of high-profile offenders considered to be some of the country\u2019s most dangerous fugitives \u2013 typically career criminals with histories of violence who pose a significant threat to public safety and have remained on the lam for months or years.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The large increase in USMS apprehensions follows the trend of rising crime across the U.S. On Monday, The Daily Wire <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/lightfoots-chicago-records-797-homicides-in-2021-most-among-u-s-cities\">reported<\/a> that Chicago recorded 797 homicides in 2021, which was 25 more than 2020 and 299 more than 2019.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In December, ABC News <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/twelve-major-cities-with-new-homicide-records-in-2021-all-led-by-democrats\">reported<\/a> that 12 major cities in the U.S. set annual homicide records in 2021. The dozen cities featured in the <a href=\"https:\/\/abcnews.go.com\/US\/12-major-us-cities-top-annual-homicide-records\/story?id=81466453\">ABC News<\/a> report on Wednesday included Portland, Oregon; St. Paul, Minnesota; Indianapolis, Indiana; Toledo, Ohio; Rochester, New York; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; Columbus, Ohio; Louisville, Kentucky; Baton Rouge, Louisiana; Austin, Texas; Tucson, Arizona; and Albuquerque, New Mexico.<\/p>\n<p>According to the DOJ, USMS also apprehended 6,240 gang members and 1,239 foreign fugitives. Over 99,000 warrants were cleared by the law enforcement agency, 64,565 being state and local warrants and 35,042 being federal warrants. \u201cThe number of warrants cleared nearly always exceeds the number of arrests in a given year because fugitives are often wanted on numerous warrants, and a single arrest can clear them all at once,\u201d the DOJ clarified.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI want to thank the men and women of the U.S. Marshals Service for their continued commitment and dedication to public safety,\u201d said Director Ronald Davis of the U.S. Marshals Service. \u201cTheir steadfast courage and selfless service in bringing fugitives to justice and in protecting our judicial process help to make all of our communities safer and is critical in preserving our democracy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
