U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents have arrested more than 1,300 gang members, associates and illegal aliens in 23 cities across 19 states as part of a national law-enforcement operation targeting America’s violent street gangs.
Assisted by state, local and international law-enforcement officers, ICE spearheaded the three-month enforcement initiative that targeted Mara Salvatrucha, or MS-13, Surenos-13, 18th Street Gang, Latin Kings, Bloods, Crips and Vatos Locos.
“Violent foreign-born gang members represent a threat to communities across the nation,” said Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Julie L. Myers, who heads ICE.http://www.washingtontimes.com/article/20071010/NATION/110100049/1002
