Subject: Re: A Better Strategy for Sanctuary Cities
The solution is to fix the underlying crime problem, not pick on one particular group (be in racial, ethnic, or immigrant).

Right? I'm completely not surprised that the incoming MAGAdministration never mentions the involvement of white gangs in drugs and human trafficking. NEVER. It's as if the Eurasian crime organizations don't exist in MAGAworld.

"Russian" is used generically to refer to a variety of Eurasian crime groups - many of which are not Russian. Among the active criminals in the U.S. are Armenians, Ukrainians, Lithuanians,and persons from the Caucasus region of the former Soviet Union (Chechens, Dagestanis, andGeorgians). The media and law enforcement call these groups various names - Russian mafia, Russian mob, Organizatsya, Bor, Bratva, etc.
Some of the group names refer to geographical locations in Russia -Izmailovskaya, Dagestantsy, Kazanskaya, and Solntsenskaya. The latter are indicative of the local geographically defined roots of some Russian crime groups.It is estimated that approximately 15 of these loosely categorized criminal groups are operating in the United States, and that 8 or 9 of them maintain links to Russia.
