The Ñeta Association is a gang that began in the Puerto Rican prison system and spread to the United States. The Ñeta prison gang formed to protect weaker inmates who were being preyed upon by a Group known as the G'27. They use the facade of a cultural organization and see themselves as oppressed people who are unwilling to be governed by the United States. The gang claims about 40,000 members in Puerto Rico, 20,000 in the United States and nearly 30,000 in other parts of the world. In the early 1980s, the Ñetas became the most dominant gang in the Oso Blanco prison after fighting both opposing gangs and crooked correctional officers by intimidating both correctional officers and rival gangs.VideoVideo: 2007 Video Propaganda Montage with audio recordings.

Groups and individuals included in TRAC's database range from actual perpetrators of social or political violence to more passive groups that support or condone (perhaps unwittingly) such violence. The spectrum of violence represented by these groups is vast, from Jihadists who bomb train stations to financial institutions that transfer funds. Some groups that originally engaged in violence but have since become legitimate political parties are included to provide historical perspective. TRAC is in no way attempting to determine whether groups or individuals are terrorists -- only to convey reported information about their activities and official State status. While TRAC attempts to ensure the accuracy of its TRAC database, the entries in the database are from numerous different sources. Hence, TRAC cannot and does not warrant the accuracy of the entries in its database. The editors of TRAC may modify these entries at any time and welcome comments and suggested corrections or additions. Please write [email protected] or hit the "SUBMIT ADDITIONS" button on the page of the group profile about which you wish to comment.
