These records concern FBI investigations and task-force activity involving the Almighty Latin Kings Nation in New York, Indiana, and Connecticut. A 1995 New York file documents Justice Department approval for an undercover operation aimed at fugitives wanted in violent-crime cases, including authority for covert bank accounts and leased space. Indianapolis communications from 1993 through 1996 describe a joint FBI and ATF firearms investigation connected to the group, later closed after sentencing. The release also includes budget and logistical authorization material for the Northern Connecticut Violent Task Force and Capitol Region Gangs Safe Streets program.
