The DEA released some video of a raid on a nightclub. Some arrests involved immigration matters but that wasn't the main focus. If anyone finds the full video then please post here ..

Okay, let’s do it!
I think I’m in favor of making membership in a criminal organization . . . itself to be a criminal offense.
For example, if someone joins a motorcycle gang with a long record of criminal behavior, give them 9 months at home with an ankle bracelet. And absolutely, boredom is a big part of the punishment.
I mean, use RICO, and use it somewhat aggressively.
And yes, I’m aware this is unfair as some motorcycle gangs transition to more of a social club. However, I’m willing to tolerate a degree of unfairness.
But it has to be better evidence than a vague tattoo such as a clock.

Not so much in favor of this high-aggressive and risky raid.
I mean, there has to be a better way.

Good point. Can't think of any other reason why it wasn't more of a targeted raid other than that the Feds wanted to make a spectacle of it. One headline read 100 immigrants arrested.
I've been to plenty of clubs and something like that would've caused a lot of fear and panic. I guess that was part of their goal.

You do, in fact, want the legal system to kick in soon after the offense.

and the two of these in dynamic tension . . . I guess!
