Major Crackdown on the Avenues Gang In February a man was shot 17 times while protecting his 2-year old granddaughter. She was unharmed. But he was killed, and a wild shoot out took place among gang members, some using AK-47’s, and between gang members and the LAPD. It all came down in a Northeast Los Angeles neighborhood long dominated by the Drew Street clique of the Avenues Gang. Today, 500 local, state and federal officers swarmed in to serve warrants on 70 people charged with federal crimes.

Special Order 40: What should the LAPD do about Immigration Status? Jamiel Shaw, Jr. was a football star and a good student. He was gunned down, allegedly by a gang member—an illegal immigrant who’d been arrested for another crime but never deported. Shaw’s grieving father has asked the LA City Council to repeal Special Order 40, which prohibits the LAPD from arresting people for violating federal immigration laws.
