650 Mongols, or “full patches,” operate in the United States

"The Mongols Motorcycle Club, or Mongol Nation, formed in Montebello, Calif., in 1969 and was named after the nomadic tribes of northeast Asia. Original members reportedly were disgruntled Vietnam-era veterans. During the 1960s, The Hells Angels would not allow Hispanics into the club simply due to their race and the Mongols supposedly formed in response to that restriction.

Approximately 650 Mongols, or “full patches,” operate in the United States. The Mongols are friendly with the Outlaws due to a mutual hatred for the Hells Angels. A confrontation between the Hells Angels and the Mongols at Harrah’s Casino in Laughlin, Nev., on April 27, 2002, left two Hells Angel and one Mongol dead.

William Queen, an ATF agent who infiltrated the Mongols in 1998, wrote a very good book about the club called Under and Alone. He describes his two-year life with the Mongols. Resulting federal indictments of 54 Mongol members led to all but one of them being convicted."
