Two United States nationals linked to the notorious Mongols outlaw bikie gang have been booted from Australia after arriving at Melbourne International Airport.
Australian Border Force (ABF) officials picked up the men upon their arrival in Melbourne from Los Angeles on November 21, subjecting them to an examination.
It was during the interview that the men’s Mongol gang links were established and their visas cancelled.

They were then “removed from Australia’’, the ABF said in a statement.
Acting ABF Regional Commander Greg Dowse said the organisation was committed to protecting the Australian community from harm.
“These gangs pose a significant threat to our community and are known to be involved in serious criminal activity including drug trafficking and violent crime,” Acting Regional Commander Dowse said.
“Any non-citizen involved with a criminal organisation such as a bikie gang can expect to be identified and targeted by the ABF, have their Australian visa cancelled and then be removed from the country.”
The arrival of the Mongol members came just days before hundreds of Bandidos gang members began their “national run’’ through Victoria.
Bandidos bikies were yesterday stopped at a checkpoint and all bikies on the ride were identified in a joint anti-bikie operation.
The international club is holding its annual general meeting this weekend.
