Members are expected to engage in tests of their loyalty to La Eme, which may include theft or murder. They have almost a thousand associates that help carry out those orders and have the theoretical control of all Sureño gang members. Many Mexican Mafia members have the authority to order murders and oversee various other criminal activities. Law enforcement believes that La eMe presently is not presided over by a single leader. Government considers the Mexican Mafia to be "among the most powerful, dangerous and feared criminal organizations in the world", and even considers La Eme to be more dangerous and at least as powerful as any Mexican drug cartel. The Mexican Mafia appears to have immense reach and influence into every Hispanic street gang in Southern California, including the notoriously brutal MS-13 and 18th Street Gang who are under the Mexican Mafia's control. Government officials state that there are currently 400–500 official members of the Mexican Mafia with thousands of hitmen and associates within prison and an estimate of more than 50,000 foot soldiers who also carry out its illegal activities on the streets in the hopes of becoming full members. Law enforcement officials report that the Mexican Mafia is the deadliest and most powerful gang within the California prison system. Despite its name, the Mexican Mafia did not originate in Mexico, and is entirely a U.S.
The Mexican Mafia (Spanish: Mafia Mexicana), also known as La eMe (Spanish for "the M"), is a Mexican American criminal organization in the United States.
