Operation Scarecrow: A Drop in the Bucket ; 85 Mexican Mafia Members Arrested in So Cal

Authorities said the investigation was dubbed “Operation Scarecrow” because of its connection to a Mexican Mafia shot-caller with the street moniker “Crow.”
A major gang crackdown involving a variety of state and local agencies, and aimed at disrupting Mexican Mafia operations in Orange County, has yielded 85 arrests and taken “middle management” gang leaders off the streets, officials announced Wednesday, May 2, 2018.
“We will continue to hold accountable those who terrorize our communities and jeopardize our public safety,” Becerra said. “All families in California deserve to know that their loved ones, especially their children, are safe.”
Orange County Undersheriff Don Barnes said the operation – one of the largest in county history – resulted in the arrests of many “middle management” gang members and prevented a number of violent crimes, including an attempted murder in Placentia.
So far, prosecutors have filed charges in 31 cases in Orange County and two in Los Angeles. The charges include weapons and drug violations, conspiracy, forgery, fraud and criminal street gang enhancements.
While the effort can disrupt Mexican Mafia operations, the arrests are a “drop in the bucket” compared to organization’s mass control over street gangs statewide, Barnes said.
“We share this information not to scare the public but to remind the residents of Orange County that this is a reality we face,” he said. “Criminal gang enterprises still continue to prey upon our community and we have to do everything we can to fight back.”
Barnes said the operation stemmed from an investigation into the shooting death of a man in San Juan Capistrano on Christmas Day in 2016. The case has not yet been solved, but the victim’s alleged gang ties led investigators into a network of criminal activity, he said.

Considering this country has, that is reported, something like 15 million invasion criminals wandering around our country uninhibited by the law, and mostly who come in through the southern border, 100 here and 100 there isn’t shit and isn’t going to make a dent in our criminal invader problem.
Our military should be here, within our borders , protecting us from illegals by aggressively rounding them up and imprisoning and documenting them before sending them packing, with their DNA and fingerprints collected that would keep them from ever applying for a greed card, work visa, or citizenship.
