FYI - MS13 is very likely embedded in each of the lower 48 states - they like small neighborhoods.

Immigration enthusiasts often argue that the majority of illegal aliens come to this country to find honest work.

The problem is that while most are not associated with criminal organizations like MS-13, many are indebted to them.

How difficult would it be to check out folks hanging around the 7/11's and the ethnic bars and trace through them the whole gang bunch? It's not like they aren't locatable; it's more like the powers that be don't want to look.

Staging a press conference on this sums up the real commitment the government has on tackling this problem. Anyone with any street smarts can walk through an urban area in New Jersey and round up over 1000 gang members in the matter of an hour. In a 12 block radius.

Until these '1000 arrested today' news conferences are '10000 arrested today' news conferences, more gang members are entering the US than the US LE Agencies at all levels are taking off the streets daily.

The feds are bailing the Titanic with a teaspoon, and bragging about it.

Meanwhile, the bottom of the ship is flooding a million gallons a minute.

13 of them were just grabbed up here in Providence, RI.

I'm sure it's only a matter of time before they come to the suburbs.

Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition!

582 Violent Gang Members and Associates Arrested under Operation Community Shield

During a two-week, nationwide enforcement action ICE has arrested 582 street gang members and associates. This initiative harnessed the work of 40 ICE offices and more than 84 federal, state and local law enforcement agencies. The arrests during the past two weeks are the latest enforcement action under Operation Community Shield, a nationwide ICE anti-gang initiative intended to disrupt, dismantle, and assist in the criminal prosecution of violent gangs by employing the full range of authorities available to ICE. In May 2005, ICE expanded Operation Community Shield to include all criminal street gangs and prison gangs with foreign-born members. With the launch of this second phase, ICE’s Operation Community Shield aims to ensure that gang members have no safe haven in our nation’s communities.

So what? The taxpayers will have to pay thousands for their defense attorneys, and then they'll all be put on probation and turned free. I have an idea, send them all to DC. They deserve criminal gangs, since most politicians would fit right in.

I have learned from LEO's that MS-13 leaders are moving into small towns for their residences because the local police force is not very large or sophisticated. No crimes are being committed there, just using the towns for the same reason we like them, the peace and quiet.

The U.S. government hasn't given a proverbial rat's posterior about foreign criminal gangs in the last thirty years. This so-called crackdown is just a PR stunt to grease the skids for for amnestia.

Confirm Indiana, and confirm the *small town* posit. The population of Monticello, IN is around 6000.
