Central Ohioans for Peace

Monday, February 8, 7-9pm, Columbus Mennonite Church, 35 E. Oakland Park Ave.

Screening of film “Gang War USA.” We continue our programming to understand the pressures that are causing the people of Central America to flee to the U.S. In Greensboro, North Carolina, an argument over a song playing on the jukebox at a Mexican restaurant ends with two brothers dead. The murderer is a member of the notorious transnational gang MS-13. How did a gang that started in Los Angeles, California, in the mid-1980s end up responsible for the murder of two innocent men in Greensboro, North Caroline? The search for answers leads deep inside the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency (ICE). Could the U.S. government’s war on transnational gangs be making them stronger and more deadly?
