Every Friday afternoon like clockwork most of the ATF’s 25 field divisions send out press releases showcasing their office’s enforcement activities for the week. It’s classic eyewash of sorts.

A 22-year-old ex-con from Trenton who’s already served 2½ years in state prison could face significantly more federal time if convicted of a string of gunpoint carjackings and robberies.
Joshua Perez, 22, was taken into custody after pointing a gun at officers during a raid of his home, authorities said Thursday.
Investigators had identified Perez as one of three armed robbers responsible for a Oct. 10 carjacking, another on Dec. 5 and the robbery later than night of a local gas station, Acting U.S. Attorney Rachel A. Honig said.
Surveillance cameras captured video of Perez and two other robbers emerging from a sedan, pointing handguns at occupants of another vehicle and then fleeing with money and cellphones in the victims’ vehicle and the one they showed up in during the October holdup, Honig said.
