Charlotte ICE gang operation yields 12 arrests: "one Asian Boyz gang member, two MS-13 gang members and one MS-13 affiliate. All four are foreign-born nationals from Vietnam, Uruguay and Honduras. One is a naturalized U. S. citizen, one has lawful residency status and the other two are illegally present in the country. Two face state charges and two face immigration charges.
The additional eight individuals arrested face various charges ranging from immigration violations to drug and weapons charges. One individual arrested had an outstanding warrant issued by the state.
One is a U. S. citizen and the others are illegal aliens from Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador.
“With each arrest we make, we’re making an impact in our community,” said Delbert Richburg, assistant special agent in charge of the ICE Office of Investigations in North Carolina. “Whether you’re here legally or illegally, if you’re breaking the law and terrorizing our community, we will use every law enforcement tool at our disposal to put you behind bars.”
The arrests were made as part of an initiative by ICE’s National Gang Unit dubbed Operation Community Shield. As part of the initiative, ICE partners with federal, state and local law enforcement agencies across the country to target the significant public safety threat posed by transnational street gangs. Partnerships with local law enforcement agencies are essential to the initiative’s success and they help further ensure officer safety during the operations."
