ISBN: 9781538139349.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpecial Agent Michael Santini offers an inside account of the takedown of MS-13 in San Francisco―one of the largest federal takedowns of a criminal gang in U.S. history.\n\nIn a bid to take down MS-13’s criminal network in the Mission District of San Francisco, Michael Santini, a special agent with Homeland Security Investigations, recruits a pair of hardened gang members and convinces them to risk their lives as criminal informants. Set in a city with one of the strictest sanctuary policies protecting illegal immigrants in America, Operation Devil Horns illustrates how politically correct ideology impacts life-or-death crime fighting on the streets.\n\nThrough the informants’ eyes, Operation Devil Horns offers a rare glimpse into the pervasive criminal subculture of MS-13, a gang of Spanish-speaking immigrants that still terrorizes pockets of American society today – including their own compatriots. The case begins with a focus on the gang in San Francisco, eventually widening to include a network that reaches across borders. Santini tracks down the gang’s leadership from the Bay Area to the prison cells of corrupt Central American regimes. Eventually, it takes the cold-blooded murder of three family members in San Francisco to shake the American public out of complacency and focus sober attention on a growing and violent threat.\n\nThis is the story of a dedicated team of special agents, federal prosecutors, and local police who overcome political and legal challenges to take down more than two dozen violent criminal targets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Rowman \u0026 Littlefield Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44946676449333,"sku":"ByrdShop_1538139340","price":50.23,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781538139349_6f0176d5-e2f6-4fe6-91d6-d596bf277b9f.jpg?v=1778902363","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/operation-devil-horns-the-takedown-of-ms13-in-san-francisco-9781538139349","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
