A six-week nationwide gang operation led by federal investigators led to 208 arrests in New Jersey - and 1,378 arrests across the United States.

One of the largest federal gang busts gang members and associates involved in transnational criminal activity, including drug trafficking, weapons smuggling, human smuggling and sex trafficking, murder and racketeering, according to a release from the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations unit.

HSI said it arrested 104 gang members, in New Jersey and arrested 58 on immigration violations. The Union County Prosecutor's Office and the Essex County Prosecutor's Office arrested Crips associates Olufemi Odeyemi and Brenda Jackson on April 7 the for possession and distribution of heroin in Irvington, according to the release.

Search warrants of Jackson’s vehicle and Odeyemi’s residence yielded 2.8 kilograms of raw heroin. No other names were released in the operation.

Of the 1,378 total arrested nationally, 1,098 were arrested on federal and/or state criminal charges, including 21 individuals arrested on murder related charges and seven for rape and sexual assault charges, the release said.

GREAT START

[null and void]

Segregating the gangs in the holding cells would be discrimination...

[EnglishOnly]

There are people that continue to ignore our laws.

Deal with them in a permanent manner so as to eliminate
this recurring problem from ever happening again.

GO TRUMP , GO SESSIONS!!!

[JustaCowgirl]

I love reading this good news.

[LS]

The # of gang nangers arrested to date has to be reaching 10,000

[taildragger]

This is the quiet news that needs to be heard, not Russia, Russia, Russia ( which is right up their with Big Foot and Betty and Barney Hill /UFO's ).

Got to love A.G. Sessions, PDJT for bringing him aboard, the rule of law, and finally our L.E.O's. can no go out and round these scoundrels up without Holder/Lynch breathing down their neck with nostrums of P.C....

[taildragger]

Oops not “no”, instead “Now”. Maybe it is time for a new keyboard...

[ronnie raygun]

I say we make a deal with russia to build prisons in siberia, there will be no escapes

[katykelly]

I say we arm them all and let them kill each other . Shouldn’t cost much .

[Missouri gal]

Something tells me that the gangs thought they had paid up their protection money for a long time to come, and DJT, Sessions and a cleaned up DOJ/FBI organization has spoiled their plans.

Deporting illegal alien gang members should have two non adjacent fingers removed upon deportation so that they are instantly identifiable when they return, identifiable and identified before they commit more felonies

California has a large Island 50 miles or so off the coast: San Clemente. I say put them there. Give them some sleeping bags, tents, occasional food drops.

BTW the way, the USN uses the island for artillery practice, so the island could serve a dual purpose.

[Rockitz]

Excellent point! It would save a helluva a lot of money if they were to spontaneously thin their ranks before their respective court dates.

[katykelly]

Whichever is cheapest .

[Rebelrage]

Hopefully a federal ninth circuit judge will find that segregating gang members is unconstitutional. It isn’t who we are!

[SueRae]

Quite a roundup in a short amount of time. Nicely done. Lock them up and get them out. Draining the swamp comes in many forms. :-)

[catnipman]

enemedia too busy spinning fake “Comey was about to impeach Trump” stories to report this

[catnipman]

“I say we make a deal with russia to build prisons in siberia, there will be no escapes”

i’ve been advocating this for over a decade. Russia has all of these perfectly good Siberian gulags sitting empty and is also in desperate need of hard currency. We have all of these criminals that need to be inexpensively removed from the law-abiding population, so I too say there’s a definite win-win situation waiting to happen here ...

[catnipman]

“I say we arm them all and let them kill each other . Shouldn’t cost much .”

Cost hell! There’s money to made with this! “Ultimate Reality Survivor”. Each week combat pairs reduce the total “contestants” by half. Last man standing gets a free one way ticket to Siberia.
