According to a Los Angeles City Beat article, by 2003, many Culver City Boys left the Mar Vista Gardens housing projects due to strict rules that evict gang members and increased police presence.[5] The gang is under a civil injunction enforced by the LAPD which restricts gang members' activity within a defined boundary surrounding the projects.[6] However, the gang remains active, as the constitutionality of the injunction has been tested. Alleged members of the gang settled a class action suit over the practice of enforcing curfews for suspected gang members with the City of Los Angeles for $30 million dollars towards job training and apprenticeships.[7][8][9]
