According to the FBI (2016 numbers), approximately 33,000 violent street gangs, motorcycle gangs, and prison gangs are criminally active in the U.S.
This came before Tren de Aragua (TdA) (the Venezuelan gang) came into the US, and before various 'others' (including Chinese groups) arrived in the Biden-wave.
So if you were asking real numbers....for gangs, it's probably up toward 42k to 45k gangs total in the US.
This behavior seen in the last week with the Democratic Party? I would take a guess over the next year.....countering the gang situation will become a major topic, and the public is going to demand a lot more action.

Northern California.
My pal is a retired USNavy SEAL.
His oldest son is in his mid-50s, spent over forty of those years incarcerated.
During this time, the kid managed to somehow acquire the obligatory shaved head with tattoos of horns on his scalp.
.
After the kid's last parole -- a medical release because of Multiple Sclerosis symptoms -- he formed the gang 'Butte County Gangsters'.
As near as I can tell, the gang never had more than one, or at most two, members.
.
After a couple months of freedom, he is back in his safe place these days, popped for meth and generalized stupidity.
.
An aside:
Within a few hours of his parole from state prison, all his MS symptoms disappeared, a truly miraculous recovery!
.
Another aside:
To help finance his life-sustaining MS treatments, he started a GoFund-type account.
In his portrait for the page, he looks remarkably like a combination of Ghengis Khan and the character 'Freddy' from the slasher flicks.
I think his take for that scam was around a couple fedbux (us$2)
But he was trying, and that counts, right?
.
Another aside:
My buddy's younger son is a retired USNavy SEAL and current investigator with Bureau Of Prisons.
My chum often jokes "All my sons are in prison!"
