MILWAUKEE - Two dozen gang members face charges after a big roundup. The feds have indicted 24 members of the Vice Lords street gang. Authorities say they are one of the most violent and dangerous gangs in the city. Authorities say people living near 1st and Keefe should feel safer because the Vice Lords have been taken down. Twenty-four members were indicted for drug trafficking and money laundering. “We're going after the bad guys. We've been going after the bad guys and we are going to continue to go after the bad guys,” Mayor Tom Barrett said. This is the second time in two years the feds have cracked down on the Vice Lords. Officials say the gang runs a dangerous crack cocaine ring and controls a 32 block area near 1st and Keefe. They also say the gang members are responsible for a lot of the gun violence in that neighborhood. “As much as I like to say the city is open for business, the city is not open for this type of criminal business,” Mayor Barrett said. The FBI worked closely with Milwaukee police to bust up the street gang. The US attorney says the cases will be tried in federal court because the gang members will face stiffer penalties there. “I get a little frustrated when people ask what we are doing about violent gangs. This is what we are doing,” US Attorney Steven Biskupic said. So far this year, the feds have indicted 100 gang members. Ninety-eight of them are in custody.
