    ICE Announces Unprecedented Prosecution of White Supremacists

    http://ijr.com/2017/08/947008-charlo...supremacists/?

    On Thursday, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) announced it had completed the largest prosecution of white supremacists in the nation's history.

    Eighty-nine members of “violent white supremacist gangs” were convicted, with convicts receiving a total of more than 1,070 years in prison. The gangs — the Aryan Circle, Aryan Brotherhood of Texas (ABT), the “Irish Mob,” the “White Knights,” “Peckerwood,” and the “Dirty White Boys” — lost several high-ranking members as a result of the prosecution, ICE reported in a press release.

    “The Aryan Brotherhood of Texas and the Aryan Circle have essentially been decimated in North Texas,” U.S. Attorney John Parker said. Parker, who litigates for the Northern District of Texas, praised Texas authorities for their role in the investigation.

    “The outstanding collaborative work of the Texas Department of Public Safety and the Dallas Police Department helped ensure that each of the 89 defendants who were arrested have now been convicted and sentenced,” Parker added.

    The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) joined with Texas law enforcement to crack down on the gangs, which, according to ICE, shifted their focuses from promoting white supremacy to drug-trafficking.

    The vast majority of the 89 defendants had prior convictions, including violent offenses, drug-related offenses, and burglaries. ICE detailed the financial aspect of the gangs' trafficking:
    Particularly noteworthy is that collectively, the defendants were held accountable for 956 kilograms (about 2,108 pounds) of methamphetamine, with a conservative street value of just under $10 million, as well as possessing and using 88 firearms and dangerous weapons.
    Texas charged a total of 91 defendants, but one died before trial, and another remains a fugitive.

    The announcement came just days before violent protests, involving white supremacists, shook Charlottesville, Virginia. On Monday, President Donald Trump responded to the events in Charlottesville, calling white supremacists “repugnant to everything we hold dear as Americans.”

    They were not jailed for being white supremacists obviously. You should change the headline.

    Now you know why they are called White Supremacists. Walter White is their idol and they are peddling supreme quality metamphetamines.

    Exactly. They were jailed for committing crimes. It is not unlawful to be a racist or White Supremacist. Disgusting of course and any actions which violate the laws of discrimination, those guilty should be punished.

    Isn't this an obvious racebait thread? It should be closed no?

    As click-baity as the title is, it gives away its own fallacy as ICE's authority is limited to immigration, customs and border control.

    So lots of drug dealers got arrested.

    Nice clickbait.

    They got done for Drugs not for the fact they are tied to hate groups.

    Its well known the AB is heavily into Crystal Meth dealing and they even work with Mexican Cartels.

    At the end of the day just like any other gang its all about the dollars.

    How dose ICE have any jurisdiction? Were these shitheads crossing the border for drugs?

    Or were they just committing so many crimes that ICE saw all the other agencies go in and thought, "Hey, they're probably doing something we need to look into."

    Of course it was for drugs, but this is the same spin Trump will use to try and deflect from all of yesterdays pro-nazi talk.

    Arrested for breaking the law yes. Its a slippery slope when you start arresting people because they belong to an organization, group, etc. and have done nothing wrong.

    If certain members of the boy scouts went into a forest and killed a bald eagle do you now prosecute all Boy Scouts for killing bald eagles?

    The title is misleading. They were violent, the charges are not about white supremacy at all.
