Police officers insisted that the clothes were “Hispanic gang culture” and claimed that the use of the Chicago bull hat is a good member of the MS-13.

Steven Dudley, a reporter and author, who spent several years studying the MS-13 gang, said, “At some point, the horny Chicago Bulls logo has become a stand-in MS-13’s demon horn symbol.”

However, he added that wearing the logo of the popular basketball team is not limited to gangs.

Dudley said, “All arguments for the gang must be confirmed with testimony, crime history and other confirmed evidence.”

According to on-site interview sheets and other court documents, executives also said that ABREGO GARCIA was also an active member of MS-13’s “Western Clique” by “proven reliable source” and has a ranking of “Chequeo”.
