The 21 individuals were arrested in Milwaukee from January 19 to 21 and include a 40-year-old man who police believe is the leader of the Mexican Posse gang in Milwaukee.

 The arrests are part of a nationwide investigation called “Project Big Freeze,” led by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The investigation is an attempt to crack down on gangs that have suspected ties to drug trafficking organizations. So far, law enforcement officials have arrested 476 people around the country in 83 cities.
