Authorities said when investigators searched the homes of the alleged gang members, they recovered firearms, drugs as well as Nazi paraphernalia.

Nearly 70 people who belong to or are associated with a white supremacist gang in the San Fernando Valley were indicted on federal charges, authorities announced Wednesday, saying the multi-agency operation was Los Angeles’ largest ever takedown of an extremist group.

The alleged criminal organization trafficked weapons and drugs, including fentanyl, while committing fraud and financial crimes for years, according to U.S. Attorney Martin Estrada.

“By allegedly engaging in everything from drug-trafficking to firearms offenses to identity theft to COVID fraud, and through their alliance with a neo-Nazi prison gang, (they) are a destructive force,” Estrada said.The group also allegedly set up a storefront, such as a fake drug treatment center, to make false documents to get their associates off probation or parole while defrauding Medicare and insurance providers.

I would expect no better of Nazis. This is a phenomenal list of criminal endeavors by a substantial number of people. I expect there will be many developments unfolding from this incident for a while to come.

I hope they get what they deserve.
