(CNN)Bandidos, Hells Angels, Mongols. They're not just motorcycle clubs, but organized criminal enterprises.
"The Bandidos constitute a growing criminal threat to the U.S.," the agency says. "The Bandidos are involved in transporting and distributing cocaine and marijuana and are involved in the production, transportation and distribution of methamphetamine."
Hells Angels Motorcycle Club
Officials say the gang is heavily involved in the drug trade -- including the production and distribution of methamphetamine and the transportation of cocaine, hashish, heroin, LSD, Ecstasy and PCP.
That's not all. "The Hells Angels are also involved in other criminal activity including assault, extortion, homicide, money laundering and motorcycle theft," the DOJ says.
"The Mongols are also known to frequently commit violent crime including assault, intimidation and murder in defense of their territory, and to uphold the reputation of the club," the DOJ said.
Outlaws Motorcycle Club
Arson, kidnapping, explosives, prostitution, homicide. Those are just some of the crimes the Outlaws have engaged in, the DOJ says.

Lol.
They are also involved in human trafficking.
Can't decide which club I like Best
Bandidos, Hells Angels, and Mongols are allowed to EXIST...
BECAUSE federal, some states, and many local governments are also gangs..
It’s like........ a Brotherhood..
Bikers confront an Arizona mosque that harboured two dead mass murderer wannabes, and CNN comes out with a special report on criminal biker gangs.
What a surprise.
Compared to the Clintons they are JV....
To think the backlash of Islam must come from the Bikers.
Thank your federal government for NOTHING!
coincides with the news about the bikers defending our freedom of speech in phoenix. bad bikers.
When blackguards like this show visibly more appreciation for the country than its government does, something is rotten in the state of Denver (apologies to Archie Bunker)
Not outlaw bikers, and I would say that there have been many such protests.
The landowner in Texas with the (pig races?), the Minister in Florida with the Koran burning, and this brave gal from a few weeks ago with the cartoon contest.
I still think that she is a target for the slams.
This reminds me very much of Hillary Clinton's defense of the Clinton Foundation: Why, it actually does some good works; so nothing else should really matter...
This sh1t is what SWAT was promised to go after.
They know who they are. They know where they are. If they wanted they could hunt them down mercilessly.
They do not. They don’t use SWAT the way they sold it to the public.
“coincides with the news about the bikers defending our freedom of speech in phoenix. bad bikers.”

Actually, the CNN article “Ethan Clive Osgoode” posted was from about a week and a half ago. It was one of the articles that the mainstream media was putting out to help the Waco police authorities and the involved federal agencies (e.g., DOJ, ALJ) “shape the narrative” of what happened at the killing of the 9 bikers and wounding of 18 others.
Of course, perhaps “Ethan” is interested in posting negative biker stories to counteract what is happening in Phoenix as you suggest.
Some are skeptical whether the Drug Warriors really want to succeed, because taxing the phenomenon is more lucrative than wiping it out.
I thought this was a story from 1968.
Looks like nothing has changed.
I was too far back to see the action in front and on thte stage at Altamont, but the Angels did a pretty good job keeping the peace at Altamont.
They were paid up front with beer, so what could go wrong?
The S/ got the Karp kicked out of it.
Feel free to post some positive stories about the drug dealing criminal gangs mentioned in the article.
It is a pain to deal with people who are on drugs. Civility is at an all time low and people act terrible when they aren’t on anything. Imagine with inhibitions lowered because of being high. Sober people cannot deal with high people.
The ones that have to deal with them - currently - are called Bartender or Officer.
The end of Prohibition pretty much defunded the Mafia.
I’m sure she is.
Our Obama Government is creating a world in the USA unlivable. The bad news for him is that America is not acceptable for sharia anything.
Those that supported him in 2008 are now denouncing ever being a Democrat. I know these things.
