FBI’s ‘Operation Broken Crown’ Nets Nearly 50 Latin Kings Arrests After Three-Month Sweep

Overview

• The FBI said the three-month initiative spanned more than a dozen field offices and targeted the gang’s trafficking activity and threats against law enforcement.
• Agents reported seizing more than a dozen firearms, nearly $200,000 in illicit funds, and over 10 kilograms of cocaine, fentanyl and other narcotics.
• In Wisconsin, the FBI Milwaukee Area Safe Streets Task Force executed five search warrants in January, arrested four suspects, seized 10 guns and more than $120,000, then made two additional arrests and recovered a rifle with a machine-gun conversion device and a pistol.
• In Minnesota, federal prosecutors charged an alleged member with being a felon in possession of a firearm and theft of government property after a rifle was taken from an FBI vehicle.
• Authorities also cited an October 2025 arrest after an explicit threat to an officer, and separate reports describe a $10,000 bounty purportedly placed on Border Patrol Chief Gregory Bovino.
