Addressing illegal or outlaw motorcycle clubs (OMGs) operating near or across the southern border requires a multi-agency, cross-border law enforcement strategy. Authorities target these groups by disrupting their criminal networks, sharing intelligence, and enforcing strict immigration and-transport laws. [1, 2, 3]

Law Enforcement Strategies

• Joint Task Forces: Combining local police, state troopers, and federal agencies like Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) and U.S. Customs and Border Protection to monitor criminal activities.
• Intelligence Sharing: Tracking how transnational cartels use local gangs and motorcycle networks for drug and weapon smuggling.
• Border Enforcement: Utilizing checkpoints, aerial surveillance, and tactical units along transit routes to interdict illegal shipments. [1, 2, 3, 4]

Legal and Policy Measures

• Targeting Asset Flows: Dismantling the financial infrastructure and money laundering channels used by these groups.
• Inadmissibility Enforcement: Denying entry or deporting non-citizen members involved in organized crime. [1, 2]
