[WH40K] Are Hive World gangs typically loyal to the Emperor?

I mean disloyal street gangs would be suppressed, right?

Hives are way, way too vast for the Ecclisiarchy or the Administratum to properly manage in that regard. They can barely keep mutants and heretics out of the upper city; even the Arbites won't venture into the lower or underhives without good reason, and only in force. Maybe once a year come tithe season they will muster up and clean things out, sending captured gangers to be conscripted into the Guard. But otherwise it's a strict no go, they are simply too outnumbered to do any good heresy or no.

That said, most imperial citizens follow the Imperial faith. It's simply how they are raised. They may not go to church every day but they practice, at least on a superficial level. And while your average hive rat will have a pretty healthy disdain for local authority the Emperor's authority trancends mortal matters. It would be like someone saying they hated God because they also hated the President.
