Organized crimes in Vietnamese communities in the U.S.
Description
The Vietnamese anti-Communist gangs have join forces with other anti-Communist gangs of other nationalities and some large Chinese gangs.

" Vietnamese communities across the United States are under siege by highly mobile Vietnamese gangsters who murder and extort but often go unpunished because victims will not cooperate with police."
" Nguyen Cao Ky, former South Vietnamese vice president and air marshal, heads Vietnamese gang operations in the United States."
"He [the witness] named as active Vietnamese gangs the Frogmen in Orange county, the Black Eagles in San Francisco, the Eagle Seven in Chicago and the Fishermen in Houston. "
"The police witnesses said that Vietnamese communities are reluctant to cooperate with U.S. Law enforcement officials because of the fear that they- like many South Vietnamese law officers- are corrupt."
