Gang Members Arrested In Little Village

FBI agents have conducted a major sweep in Little Village this morning, arresting almost 40 gang members, in an effort to put the kibosh on a major drug ring and gang violence. The gang members are all reportedly Latin Kings. A press conference is scheduled for later this afternoon in which it's likely major drug charges will be announced. The sweep follows this summer's conviction of Latin King leader Fernando King.

These evil and inhuman raids must cease!

Thanks feds, for stepping in and doing the CPD's job.

If they were breaking federal laws then the feds would investigate.

Yeah, dealing drugs, intimidating citizens, gun possession, murder are only federal crimes.
