"Police: Immigration crackdown has reduced violent gang crime"

Associated Press

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "CHARLOTTE, N.C. - A yearlong crackdown on immigration violations has led to a drop in gang-related violence in the Charlotte area, according to police.


More than 100 members of Charlotte street gangs have been arrested on immigration violations in the last 16 months. Most of those who were later deported are members of Mara Salvatrucha 13, a traditionally Salvadoran gang considered just a year ago to be the city's most violent.


From January 2000 until October 2003, at least 20 members of the gang were charged with murder in Charlotte-Mecklenburg.


A year ago this week, more than 150 police officers and federal agents fanned out in teams across east and southwest Charlotte, arresting 53 gang members in an early morning roundup.


A deportation hearing was scheduled for each of the arrested gang members."

CID cards are a perfect way to establish new identities and ensure that aliens' names won't come up on terrorist watch lists or criminal data bases.") (September 28, 2004) (Read More...)
