Feds, police crack down on violent international gangs - Wire - Lifestyle - bellinghamherald.com: "Agents strapped on bulletproof vests behind empty warehouses and waited for the party to get started at a Hialeah, Fla., strip club popular with suspected MS-13 members, a Central American gang.
As people arrived after midnight, lights flashed from unmarked vehicles as the federal agents and police officers made traffic stops.
'What gang do you belong to?' an investigator with the Multi-Agency Gang Task Force asked a driver. An agent checked the driver's name in the gang database and let him go.
