Why is it that when Aryan Brotherhood of Texas expands out of state they keep the "of Texas" part of their name instead of just being Aryan Brotherhood or Aryan Brotherhood of [the state they expanded to]?

I've always wondered because I've looked up gang maps in other states and stuff and I've seen that it sometimes says Aryan Brotherhood of Texas AND Aryan Brotherhood. Do they have a different structure so they separate themselves?

Are they allies or enemies?

Maryland Norteños 14

The Norteños 14 gang are originally from Northern California and are mostly on the West Coast but they also have a presence in the Midwest and on the East Coast.

They've been on the East Coast for years but their chapter in Maryland only goes as far back as the late 2000s. This photo is 2 members of North Side Locos 14 de Laurel, MD which is still a hood but isn't as active as it was in the beginning. From what I know these 2 guys in this photo are either locked up or don't reside in Laurel anymore. The Norteños in Maryland mainly beef with MS13Ⓜ️🤘, Barrio 18 🎱 and Sureños 13 🔵 (their main rivals). The Norteños are probably the smallest Hispanic gang in Maryland and do not have their own group in the MDOC (Maryland Department of Corrections)
