One government program in which HUD is directly involved in is called operation “Weed and Seed”. Operation Weed and Seed targets what the government considers undesirable people living in high crime neighborhood communities. Local steering committees are established that consists of the U.S. Attorney, private business owners, union representatives, community residents, corporations operating in the area, Chief of Police, faith-based representatives, school administrators, teachers, superintendent, non-profit leader, District Prosecutor, Law Enforcement Coordinator from USAO, regional leaders of Federal Departments and agencies (HUD, HHS, Small Business Admin, etc.), representative(s) from city agencies (housing, code enforcement, Dept of Recreation, etc.), and Military community outreach staff.
These local steering committees meet to decide how best to fight crime and rid the communities of undesirable people. UltraSonics is directly involved with Operation Weed and Seed. There is a government and military connection, which would explain UltraSonics ability to obtain sophisticated police and military surveillance equipment and non-lethal weapons. Click here to read excerpts from the Department of Justice Website on Operation Weed and Seed. If you would like learn more of Operation Weed and Seed, the actual Department of Justice Website is listed in the link section of this website. Or you can do a search for “Weed and Seed” at an Internet Search Engine to find the Websites of the various state branches of the program.
Weed and Seed is an anti-gang program. It does target undesirables, which I believe gang members would be considered in most American communities.
At least on Long Island, the program is being used to get rid of the El Salvadorian gang that calls itself MS-13.
