MS-13 'completely dismantled' after major crackdown on gang's operational base in California
More than two dozen MS-13 gang members were arrested and charged following a months-long murder and drug trafficking investigation centered on a rural farm city in California
Federal and state prosecutors reported on Friday that, after a months-long murder and drug trafficking investigation on a rural California farm city that was being used as a base for MS-13's operations, over two dozen gang members and affiliates were arrested and charged for various crimes.
Fresno County District Attorney Lisa Smittcamp revealed at a news conference in Fresno attended by state and federal officials that the notorious outfit exploited limited resources in the city of Mendota and other areas of Fresno County to "conduct their crimes, to hide out from crimes that they committed in other jurisdictions and to prepare to commit crimes in states as far away as New York."
