Twenty-five members and associates of the Mexican Mafia prison gang — out of a total of 43 defendants in custody — were arrested today on three federal indictments charging them with committing scores of crimes in Orange County, including kidnapping, extortion, trafficking fentanyl and methamphetamine, running illegal gambling businesses, and murdering a victim last year at a gang-controlled Anaheim motel.
