Description
In a bid to take down MS-13’s criminal network in the
Mission District of San Francisco, Michael Santini, a special agent with
Homeland Security Investigations, recruits a pair of hardened gang
members and convinces them to risk their lives as criminal informants.
Set in a city with one of the strictest sanctuary policies protecting
illegal immigrants in America, Operation Devil Horns illustrates how politically correct ideology impacts life-or-death crime fighting on the streets.
Through the informants’ eyes, Operation Devil Horns
offers a rare glimpse into the pervasive criminal subculture of MS-13, a
gang of Spanish-speaking immigrants that still terrorizes pockets of
American society today – including their own compatriots. The case
begins with a focus on the gang in San Francisco, eventually widening to
include a network that reaches across borders. Santini tracks down the
gang’s leadership from the Bay Area to the prison cells of corrupt
Central American regimes. Eventually, it takes the cold-blooded murder
of three family members in San Francisco to shake the American public
out of complacency and focus sober attention on a growing and violent
threat.
This is the story of a dedicated team of special
agents, federal prosecutors, and local police who overcome political and
legal challenges to take down more than two dozen violent criminal
targets. It is the true story of will and determination for justice over
passive acceptance of wanton violence, a case of victorious commitment
to public safety over misguided political correctness.
Ray Bolger is a journalist with over twenty years of experience covering business, technology, finance, government, and crime. His published articles have appeared in many leading outlets including The Baltimore Sun, The Philadelphia Inquirer, The Hill, and Forbes magazine.
A Note From the Publisher
Advance Praise
What reads like a work of fiction, so vivid and fantastic is the
account of this crusade against MS-13 in San Francisco’s Mission
District, is, in fact, the story of one investigator’s Herculean effort
to marshal federal. State and local law enforcement resources to take on
and defeat a criminal syndicate as sophisticated as La Cosa Nostra was
in its prime, as vicious as any terrorist group and as menacing and
dangerous as any subversive organization this nation has ever seen, a
victory that was all the more extraordinary given that it played out
against the backdrop of a political establishment more concerned with
promoting sanctuary for illegal alien criminals than protecting the
general public from harm. “Operation Devil Horns” is a must read for
anyone who thinks they know how MS-13 operates, the threat it poses, and
what can and must be done to destroy it.
— Joseph P. Russoniello, Former United States Attorney, Northern District of California
Operation
Devil Horns is a real-life thriller, taking you inside the savage world
of MS-13 in San Francisco -- but they are no match for a smart and
audacious ICE agent, who also has to fight local sanctuary politics to
get the job done. This book couldn’t be more timely, as MS-13 has
regained a foothold in many American communities, and ICE is again
contending with interference from foolish and misguided pro-sanctuary
politicians. Read it for the great story, send it to your member of
congress, and then go thank your local ICE office for what they do every
day to keep us all safe.
