Default Dominican Gang Take Down in NYC

This morning in NYC the notorious Dominican Gang Trinitarios was dealt a severe blow. At least 40 gang members were rounded up by the Feds and NYPD. They will be charged with drug trafficing, weapons possession, and assaults. They will do time and most will probably be deported. I doubt that anyone will want them back in the DR. There goes the neighborhood.

I assumed that the 40 gang members arrested are Dominican living illegally in the U.S or with just permanent Resident, none born in the U.S.?

Since cops here are dirty and do all kinds of stuff as soon as those guys are back they should be set up, planted evidence on and locked up for a long long time.

They should get together with other deported criminals and recently fired corrupt cops and start some legitimate businesses.

The following link gives a background on this scourge that's destroying lives.

Quote:
The Trinitarios, a family also known as 3NI, started in the late 1980s in the New York state prison system. It is most frequently associated with the Marcy Houses in Brooklyn's Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood. El Caballon is known to be the creator of today's Trinitarios, and is currently serving 25 years to life in Sing Sing prison. He started out serving time at Rikers Island.

Very few born in the U.S. Most that I have dealt with were born in the DR and English if spoken is their second language. These are the guys that may have come here legally or illegally when they were young and really only know the U.S way of life. I think if they were deported it would be like me landing on the moon. They are nothing but trouble. The DR will be in for a rude awakening with these semi-organized thugs released into their society.

Reckon they´ll serve time in the States first before being deported so it will take awhile before their return.

I agree. If they all get prosecuted by the Feds, they should do at least 5 years depending on their crimes.

Deportations to the DR have been occurring since around 1995. The total to date is over 20,000 deportees. Many arrests are drug related, but that may change with the possible modifications to the Rockefeller drug laws which are being discussed by the NYS legislature.
