California is home to some of the most interesting and crowded towns in the U.S. Some of the most dangerous and well-known gangs are based there. They do criminal things like selling drugs, extortion, robbery, murder, and more, and they work in different parts of the state. Right now, these five gangs are the most dangerous in California.
MS-13
MS-13, sometimes called Mara Salvatrucha, is a gang from all over the world. It began in Los Angeles in the 1980s with families from El Salvador who had to leave their country because of the civil war. Since then, people from other parts of the US, Central America, Europe, and even Australia have joined the gang.
MS-13 uses machetes and ancient methods to kill people. Lots of bad things are done by the gang, such as trafficking people and women, kidnapping people, and bringing drugs into the country. MS-13 is made up of about 10,000 people in the US. Southern California has a lot of them, mostly in the San Fernando Valley and the Pico-Union area.
