Almost 300 arrested in San Diego gang sweeps www.privateofficer.com « PRIVATE OFFICER NEWS NETWORK: "300 people were arrested in San Diego County over the weekend during a large-scale operation authorities say targeted local criminal street gangs involved in international crimes, officials announced on Monday.
But only a few of the people arrested in the sweep were actual gang members. And it was unclear if any of them were arrested on charges related to international crimes.
Of the 282 people arrested, only 32 of them were documented gang members or gang associates, according to the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department, the lead agency in the operation. Officials said they were still sifting through the information and could not provide specific information, such as the names of those arrested or the charges filed against them.
The operation, dubbed Operation Allied Shield, was conducted between 5 p.m. to 2 a.m. Friday and Saturday and was funded through a federal grant from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. The money is supposed to be used to address border-related crimes, such as drug and human smuggling."
