This morning in NYC the notorious Dominican Gang Trinitarios was dealt a severe blow. At least 40 gang members were rounded up by the Feds and NYPD. They will be charged with drug trafficing, weapons possession, and assaults. They will do time and most will probably be deported. I doubt that anyone will want them back in the DR. There goes the neighborhood.

I assumed that the 40 gang members arrested are Dominican living illegally in the U.S or with just permanent Resident, none born in the U.S.?

Since cops here are dirty and do all kinds of stuff as soon as those guys are back they should be set up, planted evidence on and locked up for a long long time.

The following link gives a background on this scourge that's destroying lives.

The Trinitarios, a family also known as 3NI, started in the late 1980s in the New York state prison system. It is most frequently associated with the Marcy Houses in Brooklyn's Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood. El Caballon is known to be the creator of today's Trinitarios, and is currently serving 25 years to life in Sing Sing prison. He started out serving time at Rikers Island.

Very few born in the U.S. Most that I have dealt with were born in the DR and English if spoken is their second language. These are the guys that may have come here legally or illegally when they were young and really only know the U.S way of life. I think if they were deported it would be like me landing on the moon. They are nothing but trouble. The DR will be in for a rude awakening with these semi-organized thugs released into their society.

Reckon they?ll serve time in the States first before being deported so it will take awhile before their return.

Excuse my ignorance please, but being so difficult to get out of DR into,,,well any other country, how are so many Dominicans able to enter US legally. Or has it only tightened up over recent years?

Deportations to the DR have been occurring since around 1995. The total to date is over 20,000 deportees. Many arrests are drug related, but that may change with the possible modifications to the Rockefeller drug laws which are being discussed by the NYS legislature.

It's not only hard for Dominicans immigrate to the U.S. legally, it's hard for everybody.

The U.S. issues each country every year an amount of visas(not including tourist or student visa) the DR received every year around 20 to 25 thousands visas, plus people that find the way to get here illegally, and very high birthrate.

Interesting to know that most of them are DR born and illegal. I wold have thought most Dominicans in gangs are the ones who were born in The US or cam here when young (thus most likely legal). Also interesting to see that they let Non-Dominicans join (what kind of BS is that for a gang of supposedly Dominican trinitarios).

I had never heard of Trinitarios, but I had heard of Dominicans Don't Play (DDP).

I just hope we don't go the way of El Salvador and Honduras with their Maras.

Not really sure about the illegal part but most are definerly born in the DR. The Trinitarios and DDP are rivals and are constantly shooting at each other or hacking each other with machetes.

Yes I agree about the rude awakening.
1st world criminal mindset in a 3rd world country and a corrupt and ill equiped police force, is always a recipe for disaster.
These deportees are wreaking havoc in other islands, i.e. Jamaica, etc.

I can understand not keeping these venom in the USA, Canada, Europe but do you have to send them back to already struggling poor countries, so they can terrorize more people who cant just pick up the phone and dial 911 and the police will be at there door in less than 2 minutes?
It just seems so unfair when these criminals spent the majority of their life being raised in the USA.
Cant all these criminal deportees be sent to the artic tundra?

You know that joke when a guy goes to Australia and at the airport the agent asks him if he had a criminal record? The guy's reply: "I didn't know you still needed one".

I suggest we send them all to an island...who knows they may end up being civil and creating a nice society...Just look at Australia today.


Hhhmm, nice thught in theory...but seriosuly, I think it is definatelythe place to live for civilized people. I like their "zero tolerance" approach.;)
