HISTORY OF MEXICAN MAFIA - PART ONE

The show Gangland on the History Channel did a really good job explaining it. There was also a documentary on Pelican Bay Prison in California that mentioned it as well.

One aspect of the rise of Mexican American organized crime in California is their coopting the federally funded social service organizations. Money coming from the federal government to neighborhood programs and intended for legitimate uses like poverty counseling and food was being diverted into funding trading in narcotics. In some cases the money was paid back in some cases the organizations folded after being embezzled.
I suspect that it is still happening today when you see federally funded NGOs trying to get amnesty pass ask what else are they doing.

I just pray that law enforcement is able to do something. Thanks, millere. It is one of the most scary things I have have seen and it seems like the problem is not only in California, but spreading wide and fast throughout the country.

Go to youtube and do a search for MS13.. Combine the efforts of MS13 with the Brown Barret's, and the Mexican Mafia... God help us.

This was already posted elsewhere but it discusses how government programs to solve gang problems only increase crime:

Did City Hall Fund a Gun-Runner?

Published on June 07, 2007

FEDERAL ALCOHOL, TOBACCO AND FIREARMS AGENTS knocked first, then entered the Downey home of purported anti-gang activist Hector Marroquin on Wednesday, arresting him for selling silencers and weapons — including three assault rifles and a machine gun — to an undercover ATF agent.

The gun sales, some of which Marroquin, the founder of the gang-intervention group No Guns, transacted at his bar in the city of Cudahy, were captured on videotape and audiotape, said police officers present at his arrest.

Inside the house, the 51-year-old veteran of the 18th Street Gang surrendered as his daughter's boyfriend, David Jimenez, a parolee at large, jumped out a window, tossed a gun into the backyard pool and climbed on the roof, authorities said. Officials said ATF agents then confronted him, he climbed back inside and was arrested and charged as a felon in possession of a gun.

Marroquin, an alleged associate of the prison-based Mexican Mafia, has grown accustomed to such intrusions, having been arrested many times over the years while at the same time being the founder and CEO of No Guns, which has received $1.5 million from Los Angeles City Hall via the much-criticized L.A. Bridges program designed by the Los Angeles City Council to keep youth out of gangs.

On Wednesday, the L.A. District Attorney's Office filed five charges related to Marroquin's sale of automatic weapons and silencers to the undercover ATF agent, according to a criminal complaint filed in L.A. Superior Court. Also charged was Marroquin's girlfriend, Sylvia Arellano, who police arrested the same day in Cudahy. Police searched Marroquin's bar on Atlantic Avenue in Cudahy, as well as an auto yard in South Gate, where they recovered gang photos and journals.

No Guns finally lost its funding last year, after city officials found the organization had engaged in nepotism and misappropriation of public funds. Along with his wife, son and daughter, who police say is a member of the Hawthorne L'il Watts Gang, the Marroquins made more than $200,000 a year in salaries — public funds paid by L.A. taxpayers — to steer children away from gangs and help active gangsters escape the life.
However, a report by civil rights lawyer Connie Rice and independent audits have stated that L.A. Bridges, which has funneled more than $100 million to programs like No Guns, cannot show that it has reduced gang activity, and the city council lacks any meaningful measures for determining success. Just last week, another purported gang-member-turned-good, 30-year-old Mario Corona, with a group called Communities in Schools, also a recipient of L.A. Bridges money, was sentenced to 32 months in prison for transporting a large amount of methamphetamine and being a felon with a gun.

The undercover sting that culminated Wednesday came as the result of a nine-month investigation, federal ATF officials said. The complaint alleges Marroquin and his girlfriend sold guns to an ATF agent in September, October and November of last year. According to the District Attorney's Office, Marroquin posted $260,000 bail and is expected in court on June 21.
