But no need to worry about crime and violence from these people.
No, just move along, move along, nothing to see here, move along, move along.
Federal prosecutors have unsealed a sweeping indictment charging seven men with operating a violent drug trafficking and racketeering network that they say stretched from Mexico to the Hudson Valley, NY, and left an innocent bystander dead in Orange County.
The case, prosecuted in White Plains federal court, charges the men with narcotics distribution and importation, racketeering conspiracy, murder, firearms trafficking, and related crimes tied to years of activity in Middletown, Newburgh, and beyond, the US Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York announced on Tuesday, Aug. 26.
Those indicted are Carlos Molina Rodriguez, 31; Samuel Blain, 36, also known as “Lobo,” “Snipes,” and “Loboferoz”; Carlos Martinez, 35, also known as “Bway”; Kalif Cox, 28, also known as “Leef” and “LG”; Justice Beard, 36, also known as “Just”; Calvin Lewis, 36, also known as “Ski”; and Emmanuel Idyis, 25.
Prosecutors allege that between 2022 and 2025, Molina and Blain directed a Mexico-based trafficking organization that smuggled dozens of kilograms of crystal methamphetamine, cocaine, and fentanyl into the United States using specially modified minivans. The drugs were driven across the country—including into the Hudson Valley—before distribution, according to officials.
Martinez allegedly led a local gang known as the Forbes List, tied to the national Makk Ballas gang, based in Middletown. Prosecutors said gang members, including Cox, Beard, Lewis, and Idyis, distributed narcotics from the Mexican operation and carried out violent crimes, including shootings, robberies, and firearms trafficking.
