In Milwaukee, Wisconsin, a comprehensive investigation spanning several years has successfully dismantled a violent street gang entrenched in southeastern Wisconsin. This effort culminated in the apprehension of over 20 individuals and the confiscation of substantial quantities of cocaine, fentanyl, methamphetamine, and firearms.

The FBI’s Milwaukee division revealed on Wednesday that the operation, named “Operation Chalkline,” targeted gang activities in Milwaukee and Racine. The gang is suspected of maintaining direct ties with a “major international cartel.”
