Vice TV’s United Gangs of America is heading to California’s Central Valley to examine one of the state’s most unconventional street gangs. The new episode, airing Tuesday at 9:00 PM ET, focuses on the Fresno Bulldogs, a gang that defies nearly all the established rules of gang culture.
Unlike most major gangs, the Fresno Bulldogs operate with no formal hierarchy, no recognized leaders, and no alliances with other groups. This decentralized structure has made them both highly unpredictable and notoriously difficult for law enforcement to track. The episode examines how this unique model evolved in the city of Fresno and what has allowed the gang to maintain its influence for decades.
Through interviews with current and former members, the docuseries pulls back the curtain on the Bulldogs’ violent history and internal codes. These firsthand accounts provide a raw look at the realities of life inside a gang that prides itself on its independence and isolation.
United Gangs of America has consistently provided an unflinching view of gang life across the country, and this episode continues that tradition. By focusing on the Fresno Bulldogs, the series explores a different kind of criminal organization—one that is both a product of its environment and an outlier in the world of organized crime.
“United Gangs of America” airs Tuesday, June 17 at 9:00 PM ET on Vice TV.
