Should law enforcement prioritize crackdowns on ethnic-based motorcycle gangs like the Punjabi Devils?
Punjabi Devils Biker Club Founder Arrested in Federal Gun Sting
Jashanpreet Singh, 26, founder of the Punjabi Devils Motorcycle Club in Stockton, California, was arrested in July 2025 after attempting to flee the U.S. amid a federal gun trafficking investigation. Singh was caught trying to board a flight to India at San Francisco International Airport after failing to appear in state court. Prosecutors allege Singh sold illegal weapons including machine gun conversion kits and a grenade to an undercover agent. His arrest brings renewed attention to outlaw motorcycle gangs (OMGs), especially those with cultural or international ties. The case highlights federal efforts to clamp down on illegal weapons trafficking and raises broader questions about law enforcement focus on ethnic-based crime groups.
