FBI Arrest 40 in Nebraska Street Gang Bust
Wednesday, October 24, 2007

OMAHA, Neb. —

Law enforcement officials arrested 40 people and seized drugs, cash and weapons, seriously denting Omaha operations of a street gang with ties to Central America, officials with several agencies said Tuesday.

The arrests were part of an ongoing investigation of the gang Mara Salvatrucha, or MS-13.

Fifteen of those arrested were linked directly to the gang and charged with various gun, drug and immigration violations, First Assistant U.S. Attorney William Mickle said. Ten were charged federally and five faced state charges.

While searching for gang members, authorities arrested 25 people and charged them only with being in the United States illegally, said Bill Wallrapp, resident agent-in-charge of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

Wallrapp said authorities were still determining whether some of those people were tied to the gang.

Authorities seized illegal weapons, 20 pounds of marijuana, a half pound of methamphetamines and 4 ounces of cocaine, Omaha Police Chief Thomas Warren said.

Agents with the FBI, ICE, the Drug Enforcement Administration, the Nebraska State Patrol and Omaha and Bellevue police continued executing search warrants and making arrests Tuesday, and authorities expected gang arrests and indictments to rise.

"We're on our way to dismantling MS-13 here in Omaha," FBI Special Agent-in-Charge John Kavanaugh said.

Details about the charges and those suspected were not immediately available because the indictments were sealed.

The arrests came as part of Operation Community Shield, a national initiative targeting gangs that was launched more than two years ago after federal officials identified the MS-13 gang as one of the nation's largest and most violent.

Crooks and gangs migrate to the areas where there is more money and riper plum victims....That is the reason that so many of the illegal invaders to our country coming in now have no plans or thoughts of ever working here... They are coming to rob, rape, pillage, and drug profitteer-- and the Idiot in the White House seems to be helping them at every turn...

When I worked undercover in Omaha 30 years ago there was already enough gangs-- and Latinos- and folk of every race and color...And some that didn't like each other :roll: Never knew what turf war you were walking into the middle of :shock: Town gave me a hairy feeling all the time I was there...But I did like that AK-SAR-BEN racetrack.... :wink:

Omaha is a nice town for a town that size, it's just that a town that size brings in losers, too.

I'll second OT on the track. I was infuriated when they let it go down. I spent many a laid-back afternoon there. Some great memories...

Like me or not I don't really care but vulgar name calling is inappropriate. I don't think it matters whose side or who ya like or anything like that it's just lacks class. I know is posting this I'll rile someone some place up and I'll also be shown all the times I haven't acted in the best manner but come on guys we are all adults.
