A Statement From Mayor Victoria Woodards on Indictment of Drug Ring Tied to Aryan Prison Gang

 

“Today, U.S. Attorney Nick Brown was joined by state and federal law enforcement officers at the federal courthouse in Tacoma to announce the indictment of 27 individuals in Washington state and Arizona in connection with a major drug trafficking organization. Many members of the group identify as part of the Aryan Family – a white supremacy group active in Washington state prisons. I am proud to commend the outstanding work of Tacoma Police Chief Avery Moore and the Tacoma Police Department who, along with their law enforcement partners, removed illegal guns and drugs from our streets and dealt a significant blow to the networks that profit from them. The success of this operation is a testament to their tireless dedication and commitment to protect and serve our communities.”
