On Tuesday 10-21-2008 The Mongols MC had 61 of their members arrested and charged with crimes such as, federal racketeering committing violent crimes (including murder), drug trafficking, weapons offenses and money laundering. The same day U.S. Atty. Thomas P. O’Brien stood in front of 24 of the club member’s bikes and promised to go after more then just their bikes. He also said “We’re going after their very identity,” stating he would try to take control of the trademarked “Mongols” name and prevent them from wearing it.
Tuesday’s raid in Southern California, Nevada, Oregon, Colorado, Washington and Ohio involved 1,000 federal agents and police officers. Reports also say that undercover agents in an operation called “Black Rain” infiltrated the Mongols over the past several years.
