"The injunction imposed in June against the Colonia Chiques street gang in Oxnard caused an uproar. Opponents of the injunction complained that the Oxnard Police Department should have consulted residents before asking a judge to take such a drastic action to combat street crime.
Port Hueneme, however, is taking a different tack. Rather than going with an injunction right away to deal with the city's gang problem, the Port Hueneme Police Department wants city officials to look at other options, such as establishing a violent crimes task force, a nuisance abatement program and educational programs for gang members.
