“Today’s takedown of gang members is a major victory for the residents of Paterson.  Public safety has been a critical component of the foundation of my administration’s agenda and today’s charges speak to the need for aggressive measures against those who strike fear in our residents and violate our quality of life.  I’d like to offer my gratitude to the U.S Attorney’s Office, ATF and the other agencies that were involved in this operation.  I look forward to hosting a press conference, tomorrow, to divulge what this means for Paterson.”
