Thank you, Chair.
It's great for me to be back visiting this committee.
I want to start by just asking any or all of the witnesses about these armed gangs themselves. What do we know about their possible motivation, political motivations or otherwise?
Do they have specific goals they want to achieve? Are they organizationally sophisticated or are they chaotic?
What's going on in terms of how the gangs are organized and what they are trying to achieve?
