🟥 Flying drones near Boston Stadium, #FIFAWorldCup fan festivals, and other event locations in MA & RI? That's a red card.
🚫World Cup venues and fan festivals are No Drone Zones.
🚔If you're heading to any of these locations, leave your drones at home. Flying a drone in a restricted zone is not only dangerous, but it's also a federal crime & can result in fines, prison, & seizure of your drone. ow.ly/v8KN50ZbapN

🔥#FBI Boston is kicking off Operation Summer Heat 2.0 with the takedown of a Boston Homeland Security Task Force investigation that has resulted in RICO conspiracy charges against 26 Trinitarios gang leaders, members, & associates for their alleged involvement in five murders and 19 attempted murders in Essex County.

ALT FBI Boston's Special Agent in Charge Ted Docks joins our law enforcement partners to announce today's RICO charges against 26 alleged leaders, members and associates of the Trinitarios gang.
ALT Quote from FBI Boston's Special Agent in Charge Ted Docks on the impact of today's takedown: This summer, the heat is on, anyone trafficking illegal firearms, drugs, and committing acts of violence in Massachusetts and beyond. Today's arrests should make it clear: gangs that poison our streets, terrorize our communities and boast about it in videos online, will not go unchecked. We will use every tool available, including the RICO statue, to dismantle these enterprises from the top down. The law-abiding people who live and work here deserve better.
