"Minneapolis Gangs Face Federal Charges in Major Crackdown"

Minneapolis community members have mixed emotions after nearly four dozen gang members were indicted on federal charges. While some are relieved that 45 gang members are off the streets, others are concerned about the rehabilitation of these young people and the potential for more kids to be caught in the cycle of violence. Many victims of gang violence are hoping for accountability and justice, while also advocating for rehabilitation and second chances. Federal investigators have reported that gangs are persuading new recruits as young as 12 years old to fight, shoot, or make money through drug sales.
