10 gang members arrested following ICE-led operation in Charlotte Arrests include members of MS-13, Surenos, Brown Pride, SUR-13 and Latin Kings
CHARLOTTE, N.C.-Ten foreign-born gang members with ties to local violent street gangs were arrested here yesterday following a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) led operation.
The operation, dubbed Community Shield, was a multi-agency effort spearheaded by ICE. Among the participating agencies were the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department (CMPD); the United States Marshals Service and the North Carolina Department of Crime Control and Public Safety's Alcohol Law unit (NC-ALE).
The operation targeted foreign-born members and associates of MS-13, Surenos, Brown Pride, SUR-13 and Latin King street gangs. Those arrested were illegally present in the United States and are now in ICE custody; however, four of them, although administratively arrested, were referred to the United States Attorney for the Western District of North Carolina for possible criminal prosecution due to criminal offenses that include possession of marijuana, re-entering the United States after deportation, and possession of a firearm.
"We will continue teaming with our law enforcement partners to target those terrorizing our communities," said Joan Nash-Scavazzon, acting assistant special agent in charge of ICE's Office of Investigations in Charlotte. "Through these partnerships, we will use all of our combined law enforcement tools to thwart the criminal efforts of street gangs."
Transnational gangs pose a growing public safety threat to communities throughout the country. It is estimated that there are over 900 different criminal gangs in the United States. These gangs no longer own turf in just the inner city but have spread their criminal networks throughout suburban and rural communities.
These transnational street gangs have a significant number of foreign-born members and are frequently involved in human and contraband smuggling, immigration violations and other crimes. Like any street gang, these transnational gangs also have a propensity toward violence. Their members commit a myriad crimes including robbery, extortion, assault, rape and murder.
Operation Community Shield is an ongoing national initiative in which ICE partners with other federal, state and local law enforcement agencies to address the significant public safety threat posed by transnational street gangs. Partnerships with local law enforcement agencies are essential to the success of the initiative, and they help further ensure officer safety during the operations.
Since ICE began Operation Community Shield in February 2005, more than 11,800 gang members belonging to more than 700 different gangs have been arrested nationwide.
The public is encouraged to report suspicious activity by calling ICE's 24-hour toll-free hotline at: 1-866-347-2423.

That's great, but what happened/will happen to these gang members? They torture people and cut off their heads, Muslim-style, they murder little kids, they trade in human chattle and the worst drugs on Earth. So what will our courageous judges give them, an extra whack on the pee-pee?
ICE is finally starting to kick butt in the Carolinas. There still is much to be done, but it’s a good start.
Yes, like beating them half to death and leaving them somewhere inaccesible out in the desert to die a lingering death.

My thought of recent articles...
Ice is Hot.
I agree. If they gangs, then just shoot them. That’s how we used to do in the USA. Where the F is Clint Eastwood when you need him the most?
Just put some ICEHOT on it!

I’m real sorry, but the only Skynard song I know with “bullets” is Give Me Back My Bullets. I don’t even know if that’s the name of it. LOL I wish I could help you out there friend.
Methinks you are confusing the lyrics from Skynyrd’s “Needle and the Spoon”.
The only Skynyrd album with bullet in the title was “Give me back my bullets”.
Silver Bullet was Bob Seger’s band.

No, the GOP needs to reach out to them first.
Eric Holder is right!
The press are cowards about race!
Otherwise this would have been about “10 illegal immigrants”.
Ten foreign-born gang members
They are just reducing the competition for black gangs.
Dirty Harry evolved into Dusty Harry Reid.
Things went to hell in a handbasket.
I live next to a half-way house for illegals in Charlotte, NC and have had to clean condoms and beer bottles out of my yard. Just down the street a fellow brings them in by the dozen in the back of a Mexican food services truck. We’ve been reporting them to ICE for 2 years now with no response. What is helping here is the lack of construction jobs; many are returning home.
Impossible! Charlotte doesn’t have gangs, the city manager and police chief said so.
