During the 1990's, Maravilla gangs broke away from Sureños, dividing line between Sureños and Maravilla is in East Los Angeles. During that time, The Mexican Mafia was trying to unite all the Southern California gangs under the Sureños flag but said gangs were to be taxed.
The Maravilla gangs were among the first gangs to refuse to pay tax and to declare themselves as tax-free (along with Mara Salvatrucha). The Mexican Mafia then made them a green-light gang, meaning that any Sureño could attack them.
