"Arrests Made in Fatal Shooting of 11-Year-Old, Prompting New Mexico Gun Ban"

Two men, Jose Romero and Nathen Garley, were arrested in connection with the fatal shooting of an 11-year-old boy outside an Albuquerque baseball stadium. The shooting, which appeared to be a case of mistaken identity, prompted the New Mexico governor to issue a controversial gun ban. Romero was already wanted for drug dealing, while Garley was found with a gun and fentanyl tablets during a separate arrest. The suspects, reputed gang members, allegedly attacked a pickup truck leaving the game, killing the boy and leaving his cousin paralyzed. The shooting was linked to an ongoing feud with another man, and investigators used cellphone data and social media to track the suspects. The governor's gun ban was temporarily blocked by a federal judge.

45 alleged gang members charged in Minneapolis crackdown by US Attorney's Office.

The US Attorney's Office has charged 45 alleged members and associates of two "violent street gangs" in Minneapolis as part of a crackdown on crime in the city. The members of the Highs and the Bloods were arrested in the past 48 hours, and indictments allege that they participated in a "brutal and unrelenting trail of violence over the course of years." The crackdown was made possible by the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO), which allows federal authorities to prosecute a large number of gang members at once. If convicted, the defendants face up to life in prison for racketeering conspiracy involving acts of murder, using a firearm to commit murder, and conspiracy to distribute controlled substances.

El Salvador's Mega-Prison Receives 2,000 More Suspected Gang Members

El Salvador has added another 2,000 inmates to its mega-prison, which has a 40,000-person capacity and promises that prisoners will "never return" to the streets. The government has arrested roughly 65,000 suspected gang members since approving emergency powers in March 2022, and the prison is already at 10% of its maximum capacity just one month after opening. The right to association is suspended, and police don’t have to inform someone being arrested of their rights. Non-governmental organizations have tallied several thousand human rights violations and at least 80 in-custody deaths of people arrested during the state of exception.

Another 2,000 suspected gang members have been sent to El Salvador's mega-prison, the Center for the Confinement of Terrorism, bringing the total number of inmates to 4,000.

While President Nayib Bukele's proactive approach in the war against gangs has led to the capture of over 60,000 accused gang members, human rights observers have raised concerns about basic constitutional rights being violated.
