According to the Associated Press, nearly three dozen members of a Boston-based street gang are facing federal charges that include killings, sex trafficking, drug trafficking, and armed robbery.
On Tuesday, U.S. Attorney Andrew Lelling stated in a press conference that fifteen members and associates of the NOB gang were arrested Tuesday by Boston police and federal authorities and six others remain fugitives on federal warrants. Another 11 already in state custody are now facing federal charges.
