White supremacist street gangs targeted in Orange County sting: "50 people both in and out of prison were arrested in what prosecutors call the largest crackdown on white-supremacist gangs ever carried out in Orange County, federal and state officials announced today.
Operation Stormfront — named after a white-supremacist website called “Stormfront” — was a collaboration between the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, the Orange County District Attorney’s Office, the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, Orange County Sheriff’s Department, U.S. Attorney’s Office and the U.S. Secret Service.
Orange County sheriff’s and ATF investigators went undercover to infiltrate the white supremacist gangs and focus on drugs and gun crimes, authorities said.
Fourteen people were named in a total of three indictments charging them with extortion, conspiracy and solicitation of aggravated assault and murder, according to county prosecutors. About 20 others were arrested on suspicion of parole and probation violations, while one was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder."
