Aryan Circle: Crime in the Name of Hate

The Aryan Circle, an often brutal white supremacist gang based primarily in Texas, is growing and dangerous, according to a new ADL report on the group’s widening influence inside and outside Texas prisons. The Aryan Circle is one of the largest white supremacist groups in the United States and combines the criminal know-how of organized crime with the passion of racial hatred. Members commit crimes ranging from drug trafficking and identity theft to vicious hate crimes.
