The investigation was led by the ICE Homeland Security Task Force and the Border Enforcement Security Task Force.
In addition to possible state and federal charges relating to animal fighting and gambling, other investigative areas included people who were in the country illegally, narcotics and weapons.
“In addition to the acts of animal cruelty perpetrated by the operators and encouraged by the participants, underground gambling operations such as these often have ties to other significant crimes including narcotics violations, money laundering, and acts of violence,” said ICE HSI New Orleans Special Agent in Charge Eric DeLaune. “These crimes degrade the safety of our communities, and we are proud to be the ones stopping these illegal operations.”
According to officials, ICE Gulfport special agents and deportation officers are working to identify all encountered individuals, as well as checking immigration records.
ICE Gulfport plans to seek state and federal criminal or administrative charges as appropriate.
