U.S. Attorney for Utah Brett Tolman said Utahns are sick of gang violence, and federal officials are stepping in to help. “We are tired, frustrated and upset about gang problems,” Tolman said during a press conference Tuesday. “These are all violent gangs, and we want them out of our communities.” Federal and state law-enforcement officials gathered to announce a massive roundup of gang members who are in the country illegally. Over the past two months, officials say Operation Community Shield resulted in the arrests of about 50 Mexican nationals involved in gang activity in Utah County and in Ogden.
