(Cedar Rapids, IA) — Federal prosecutors are announcing charges against 19 people on gun-related crimes. The arrests were announced at a joint news conference in Cedar Rapids. They come as part of a nationwide effort to get illegal guns off the streets called Project Safe Neighborhood. Agents say the COVID-19 pandemic slowed the project’s effort to track gun criminals. All 19 arrests came in the Waterloo area – which had a 12-percent increase in violent crime last year.
