Some targets were considered especially dangerous. In one case, an
armed man was found in a cave under a trap door in his kitchen floor.
Some fugitives had escaped from prisons and jail, some had been released
on bond and others had been named in criminal warrants but disappeared
or failed to appear as ordered. "We're really amazed. We had no idea
we'd apprehend more than 10,000 bad guys," said one federal law enforcement
official who asked not to be identified. "We didn't know what to expect,
but the response from law enforcement personnel everywhere was truly
amazing."

caught more than 36,000 federal felons, and Marshals-led task forces
also arrested more than 31,600 people wanted on state and local felony
warrants, according to the U.S |
