International criminal gang rooted in Los Angeles, with transnational reach
Yiannopoulos has spoken to Piers Morgan about his detention in the US, claiming he faced “humiliating” treatment after being deported from the United States. He says he overstayed a visa, faced a final removal order, and is now back in the UK; the DHS has disputed parts of his account and other outlets report similar details.
The United States is stepping up a regional push against major drug-trafficking groups, designating several Latin American gangs as foreign terrorist organisations and expanding military-security cooperation. The move comes during a high-profile visit by the US secretary of state to Colombia, Ecuador and Peru, and signals intensified pressure on groups with narcotics that reach across borders.
