WASHINGTON—Forty-one members of various street gangs have been charged in indictments or criminal complaints unsealed today in five judicial districts, the Department of Justice announced today including here in the Long Beach, Los Angeles area.

The federal indictments and complaints unsealed today charge members and associates of a variety of street gangs, including:

Seven members of the Click Clack gang in Kansas City, Missouri;
12 Colonias Chiques gang members in Los Angeles;
Two members and associates of the Sureno 13 and San Chucos gangs in Las Vegas;
Seven MS-13 members in Washington;
13 Tri-City Bomber members and associates in the McAllen, Texas, area.

The charges in these separate cases relate to a wide range of alleged illegal activity, including racketeering conspiracy, murder, murder conspiracy, narcotics trafficking, robbery, and gun trafficking. The defendants will make initial court appearances in the respective districts in which they are charged.

Breuer of the Criminal Division. “Gangs spread fear in our communities, trading in guns, drugs, and violence, and they cause too many young people to choose lives of crime. The Justice Department is fighting back, against both local street gangs and large organized criminal enterprises with international reach. With the coordinated enforcement actions announced today, we are sending an unmistakable message—that we are committed to dismantling gangs both large and small, and from coast to coast.”

“Although these cases are in different parts of the country, they illustrate the common threats gang members pose to our communities,” said Assistant

Director Kevin Perkins of the FBI’s Criminal Investigative Division. “Gangs were once found in big cities, but their operations are now migrating to rural areas. The types of offenses gang members commit are also changing, from drug running and petty crimes to home invasions and health care fraud. The FBI will use our task forces, undercover operations, and enhanced surveillance techniques to dismantle gangs to restore order to neighborhoods they terrorize.”

Meet Randy Economy

You may know me from my role as the Senior Advisor and Official Media Spokesman for the Recall Gavin Newsom campaign that established a worldwide blitz of interviews. I conducted more than 2,200 media interviews on behalf of “The People’s Recall” during a 10-month period from November 2020 to September 2021. The iconic magazine Mother Jones in a dramatic feature article called me “A ‘Superhero Pirate’ Radio Host, (and) Gavin Newsom’s Strangest—and Most Dangerous—Threat. Meet Randy Economy, the man behind the effort to recall California’s governor.” I appeared on more than 330 media outlets around the world in my capacity with RecallGavin2020. Fox News, CNN, MSNBC, Newsmax, NBC Nightly News, ABC News, as well as the Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, Politico, and dozens of other media outlets aired featured reports on my work on behalf of “The People’s Recall.” I am and will always consider myself to be a journalist. Sometimes I think I bleed ink. My talents as an Investigative Journalists in California earned me FIVE top awards from the prestigious Los Angeles Press Club in 2013, 2014, and 2016. I am tenacious. My reporting over the years has led to the prosecution of several elected officials in California. While working for a tiny community newspaper in Southeast Los Angeles County, I worked doggedly to expose the biggest public corruption case in Los Angeles County history when I unearthed a massive pay to play scheme inside the Assessor’s Office that led to the arrest of then Assessor John R. Noguez and four others. However, politics has been in my DNA since I was a child. I have worked on more than 300 political campaigns as a consultant and advisor since 1982 for candidates from all sides of the political spectrum including Democrats and Republicans, and even Libertarians. I am also a small business owner, serving as the President and CEO of Hot Water Studio & Production, LLC. My company works with media outlets across the state, nation, and world exposing public corruption via several new media platforms. I have also overcome personal challenges. I am legally blind with zero vision in my right eye and only 40 percent vision remaining in my left eye. I sometimes wear an eyepatch due to my failed vision. (Hence the nickname of “America’s Political Pirate.”
