Nearly 300 police officers from more than two dozen federal and local law enforcement agencies fanned out across Southern California on December 14, 2006, to execute a series of search and arrest warrants at some 75 different locations. The extensive sweep resulted in the arrest of 67 alleged members of the large and violent white supremacist gang known as Public Enemy Number 1. PEN1 is currently the gang strongest in California, where it has caused many problems in recent years. However, if its growth is not stopped, it is likely to become increasingly problematic in other states as well-the Pacific Northwest and the Southwest being the most likely areas of PEN1 expansion. PEN1 may not be the nation's "number one public enemy," but they have more than proven themselves a violent, hateful, and dangerous threat-one that needs to be contained.
