Are these raids also taking place in Miami and Texas? Or are they only going to take place in places like California and Chicago?
Has anybody noticed that Trump never mentions the horrifically violent Russian/East Euro mobsters that operate across the USA?
Why would he? They're white.
"RUSSIAN ORGANIZED CRIME IN THE UNITED STATES By

-Organizational Structure
Russian organized crime (ROC) is an umbrella phrase that captures a variety of crime groups and criminal activities. Our focus in this report is on the groups and the activities present in the United States. In some
instances, the crimes and the forms of criminal organization here differ from those of ROC in Russia or elsewhere in the world. This may be a result of differing external environments and criminal opportunities,
but is nevertheless something to be kept in mind. Because of the proliferation of groups, there is not a specific organizational structure that can be delineated as if it described one criminal organization. Even
the characterization "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, and Georgians). 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. The estimated membership of those groups is 5 - 6,000 members.
