[edit] Folk Nation Infiltrates US Military?
In March of 2005, KFOX TV of El Paso, Texas (a hub of Folk Nation activity) reported that Folk Nation members were actively being encouraged to join the U.S. Military. The report quoted Jeremy Francis, an FBI special agent, as saying that the gang "will hand pick them, ask them to keep their record clear so that they can enlist in the military, and once they're in the military, they want them to try and gain access to weapons and explosives and basically try to filter that back to the street level."
