14 foreign-born gang members arrested in Southern Indiana

[Bullfighter]

Federal, state and local law enforcement agents arrested 14 foreign-born gang members and associates Tuesday in Jasper, Huntingburg and Evansville, according to the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE) Homeland Securities Investigations unit.

“Street gangs pose a growing public safety threat to Indiana’s rural communities,” said Daniel T. Dill, resident agent in charge of the ICE-HSI office in Indianapolis. “With each gang member we arrest and remove from the United States, we make a positive impact in our communities.”

Of the 14 men, 12 are being held by ICE on administrative immigration charges and will be placed into deportation proceedings.

The reason this caught my eye was that my parents once had a timeshare in French Lick, a sleepy little town and one of the most laid back places I've ever seen. But the timeshare was at a resort that once served presidents. My thought was, What the hell are gangs doing there? And the answer is simple: Thanks to the Latin American invasion of the US, no place is safe.

Gangs a Growing Problem in the U.S.
According to the Justice Department’s National Youth Gang Center, the growth of gangs in the United States has been rapid: In 1980, an estimated 286 jurisdictions reported the presence of approximately 2,000 gangs made up of nearly 100,000 members; by 2002, the number of youth gangs was estimated to be 21,500, with 731,500 members. 4 The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) today estimates that there are 30,000 violent street, motorcycle, and prison gangs, with about 800,000 members. 5 Much of the growth has been in suburban and rural parts of the country, where criminal gang activity is still relatively new.

According to the FBI, gangs are more violent, more organized, and more widespread than ever before and “pose one of the greatest threats to the safety and security of all Americans.” 6 A recent Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) report concludes that gangs are responsible for most of the serious violent crime in major U.S. cities. 7 The most significant increases were for crimes often associated with gang activity, such as homicide, robbery, and aggravated assault.

Immigrant and Transnational Gangs

Over the past few decades, the United States has experienced an increase in the number and size of gangs made up largely if not entirely of immigrant youth (legal and illegal) and the U.S.-born children of legal and illegal immigrants. 8 Gang members of 53 different nationalities are represented in the ICE arrest data (See Figure 1), with the majority (75 percent) coming from Mexico and El Salvador, both of which have high rates of legal and illegal immigration to the United States. Some gangs — the 18th Street Gang and Mara Salvatrucha (or MS-13), for example — are believed to have a largely illegal alien membership. 9



Of course, immigrant-based gangs are not a new phenomenon, and the role of new immigrants in the creation and growth of gangs has been well documented. 10 Among the well-known historical immigrant-based gangs are Irish, Italian, Chinese, Hispanic, Jamaican, Russian, and Jewish gangs, each with their own unique history. While many of these gangs dissipated after years of law enforcement efforts and assimilation, a resurgence of gang activity began in the 1980s, when law enforcement activity targeted at gangs (and illegal immigration) was abating just as illegal immigration was increasing. In addition, federal agencies gearing up for the war on drugs did not consider anti-gang efforts to be a priority in that effort, despite the warnings of some local law enforcement agencies and evidence of Jamaican and Dominican gangs fueling the crack epidemic and its attendant violence. Meanwhile, some local police forces embarked on illegal alien sanctuary policies as a form of community policing.

The recent emergence and spread of several Hispanic street gangs, most notably MS-13 and 18th Street, has attracted the attention of law enforcement agencies and political leaders nationwide. Many gangs are made up of small-time troublemakers, but others have a reputation for grisly violence. They are responsible for virtually the entire spectrum of criminal activity, from nuisance crimes like graffiti to murder. Some are becoming increasingly well-organized and operating as sophisticated crime syndicates across national borders.

Transnational gangs generally are defined as those gangs that are criminally active and operational in more than one country, whose activities are sometimes controlled or planned by individuals in another country, whose members are mobile and adaptable in new areas, and whose members tend to be involved in cross-border or international crime or violations with a nexus to the border. 11

The countries of Honduras, El Salvador, and Guatemala are considered to be the epicenter of the gang crisis, as most of the criminal transnational gang members in the United States have ties to these countries. Murder rates in these countries are extremely high; in 2004, the estimated murder rate per 100,000 people was 45.9 in Honduras, 41.2 in El Salvador, and 34.7 in Guatemala (compared with a 2004 murder rate in the United States of only 5.7 murders per 100,000 people). Salvadoran police estimate that at least 60 percent of the 2,756 murders committed in El Salvador in 2004 were gang-related. The gang population in Central American countries is estimated to be about 500,000. 12

We should cut off all trade with Latin America until they learn to play nice.
