SANTA CRUZ - Besieged by unsolved gang violence, Santa Cruz police turned to federal immigration agents for help this week.
Beginning Tuesday, a team of Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents are working with the Police Department to investigate gang crime in the city, Santa Cruz Police Chief Howard Skerry announced Wednesday.
"We've reached a point where I, as chief, will call in every available resource," Skerry said. "The whole focus of this is to find out who committed these crimes and bring them to justice." Carl Reimer, 19, died April 17 after being shot three times by suspected gang members in a Westside park area. No arrests have been made.

Wow, I guess they took their recent, violent, pro-illegal immigration rally to heart.
There’s going to be hundreds, possibly thousands more “Carl Reimer’s” before this war is settled.
As long as Santa Cruz remains a “sanctuary city,” there won’t be any real change, IMHO. It’s all window dressing. The feds should not even be involved until the city revokes its status as a “sanctuary city”.
Hopefully the tax payers of that county will say enough.
Here’s an idea...
Deport them because many of the gang members are....ILLEGAL!
This is something for Santa Cruz to celebrate.
Ping!
Not good.
Someone tell me how the hell this is different from the new law in AZ the media has dropped a load over.
