The more things change... Chicago PD Arrests 30 Tren de Aragua Gangbangers, Many Walk Free
The Chicago Police Department reported having arrested more than 30 members of the dangerous Tren de Aragua Venezuelan street gang, only to find the courts releasing many of them right back out onto the streets.
Dozens of these gang members have been arrested over the last two years for an array of offenses, including drug dealing, human trafficking, gun charges, theft, and other charges, the New York Post reported.
However, thanks to the recent state-wide implementation of the SAFE-T Act, which eliminated cash bail in most cases, many of these gang members were released right after being arrested.
Hat tip to Second City Cop: Catch-and-Release Continues.
"Diversity is our strength" goes the story, but we have something like fifty or eighty major gangs with a few hundred subsets and splinters, so we really don't need diversity amongst the ne'er-do-wells.
