Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón reportedly “gutted” his office’s Hardcore Gang Unit and Major Narcotics Unit this week, severely downsizing both as he continues to transform the nation’s largest criminal justice jurisdiction.
FOX 11 News investigative reporter Bill Melugin first reported that Gascón was planning to dismantle the Hardcore Gang Unit more than two weeks ago. On Wednesday, multiple unnamed sources told Melugin that upper management had called a meeting to inform prosecutors that the unit would be cut back.
