Hundreds of Mexican Drug Gang Members
Caught in Crackdown
March 1, 2011 - ABC News
A sweeping federal takedown today confirms that Mexican drug cartels
have penetrated the United States and have affiliated drug gangs on the
streets of hundreds of American cities, federal officials said.
A total of 678 alleged gang members from 168 cities were arrested by an
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) task force targeting gangs
with ties to drug trafficking organizations.
More than 46 percent of those arrested were affiliated with 13
different Mexican drug trafficking organizations, ICE officials said.
Of the 678 arrested, 447 were charged with criminal offenses and 421
were foreign nationals.
The operation, Project Southern Tempest, was conducted from December
2010 through the end of February. In addition to the arrests, the
operation also seized 86 firearms, large quantities of methamphetamine,
cocaine and marijuana, and more than $70,000 in cash, according to ICE
officials.
"These transnational gangs are a direct threat to our safety," ICE
Director John Morton said at an afternoon news conference. "We have to
go after them hammer and tong."
Morton said transnational gangs are not only working the drug trade,
but are frequently working in human smuggling, weapons smuggling and
other crimes with a nexus to the border.
Morton pointed to the example of Rodimiro Burquez-Cortez, a Mexican
national and Surenos gang member who was deported once, but re-entered
the country and now faces narcotics and weapons charges. His criminal
convictions included illegal re-entry, assault, DWI, carrying a
concealed weapon and drug possession.
Another suspect arrested in the sweep, Shawn Allison, a Jamaican, is a
member of the Jamaican Posse whose rap sheet includes convictions for
possession with intent to distribute and criminal contempt, according
to ICE. Now Allison faces an even more serious charge: attempted murder.
"These are not people we want walking our streets," Morton said. "They
have turned to a life of violence."
Project Southern Tempest is the latest in a series of federal task
force operations targeting drug gangs. The operations include local
police in dozens of U.S. cities, including Atlanta.
Sally Yates, the U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Georgia,
said today that since task force operations began in 2005, they have
resulted in charges in seven murder cases, at least five carjackings
and several armed robberies in the Atlanta area alone.
In one of the carjacking incidents in Atlanta, gang members hit a young
girl across the face with a baseball bat, Yates said.
Federal officials point out these gang bangers are not just operating
in big urban centers. Project Southern Tempest arrests include alleged
drug gangsters picked up in places like Reading, Pa., Provo, Utah, and
Oceanside, Calif.
South Salt Lake, Utah, is not usually thought of as a hotbed of drug
gang activity, but Chris Snyder, the police chief there, said today his
jurisdiction has seen a surprising amount of gang crime.
"The drug dealers targeted in this operation have no regard for the law
... and degrade the quality of life in our communities," Snyder said.
"Our goal in partnering with ICE and other law enforcement agencies is
to make our cities safer."

if marijuana cultivation was decriminalized, the demand for Mexican marijuana would decrease. so will the demand for guerrilla farmers in american state forests.

When I first saw the title of this thread, I thought "What? They will obliterate half of Mexico's police force over this! Those cops just signed their own death warrants!"
Glad it was here, because at least in the U.S. we can round up hundreds of Mexican G's and maintain a government.
I hope these fucks do try and retaliate against the U.S. officials, resulting in a sea of Mexican gangster blood. Human garbage is what they are and they need to be eliminated.

Mostly people from a poor background with not much perspective in life other that to hustle is what they are. If there wasn't so much money to be made in the drug game they wouldn't be infesting US streets. Blame it on the US' demand for drugs combined with its prohibition politics and the drug war. That's what created this "human garbage" in the first place.

I say when they catch them they should just shoot them, you got gang tatoos or what not, BANG, Maybe that would change their perspective. B/c its not just cuz your poor its cuz you want power, and knowing no normal person is going to fuck with you, Well shoot them let normal citizens shoot them, Could you imagine how fun it would be to go around and shoot gang members- Wonder if you would need tags,like deer. Got me a nice Ms 13 member had 4 tear drops,(he was about 75 yards and running, droped him in his tracks, oh and a couple other lil bangers, All in all good day of gang hunting lol

How many places outside the US have you been to? Oh, and Canada and Tijuana don't count. You obviously don't know what's going on outside of your tiny little world. Sad.
