Homeland Security Investigations have arrested nearly three dozen “violent'' Sureno gang members and associates during a New Mexico gang sweep. The federal agency announced today the 34 people were taken into custody as part of a national sting called “Project Southbound'' aimed at arresting Sureno members linked to criminal activities. Kevin Abar, assistant special agent in charge in New Mexico, says the gang members were arrested with the help of Albuquerque and Santa Fe police and the Valencia County and Bernalillo County Sheriff's Offices.
