LOS ANGELES  Federal prosecutors have charged 147 members of a predominantly Latino street gang that has long ruled the streets of Hawaiian Gardens, a city of 14,000 east of Long Beach, with making racial attacks on African-Americans and drug dealing.

Prosecutors said the Varrio Hawaiian Gardens gang, with approximately 1,000 members and associates, carried out racially motivated shootings to enforce its territory and to intimidate black residents.

Gang members were also responsible for shooting to death a Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputy in 2005, according to a 193-page indictment released Thursday.

Federal and local law enforcement officers have arrested 99 Varrio gang members in raids and said that they had confiscated $100,000 in cash and dozens of firearms. Forty-eight are fugitives being sought.
