The Guardians of the State (Brazilian Portuguese: Guardiões do Estado), or the acronym GDE, is a Brazilian criminal faction. It operates in the state of Ceará.

It is the 4th largest faction in Brazil and is made up mostly of poorly prepared teenagers,^[4] pre-teens and young adults.^[5] One of the main reasons would be the lack of monthly fees.^{[clarification needed]}^[6]

The place or date of origin of the faction is not known for sure, as some sources claim that the faction emerged in mid-2012, others claim that it emerged in 2006,^[7] 2015, 2014 or 2016,^[8]^[9]^[10] but the most accepted is that it appeared in 2017, in the community of Conjunto Palmeiras.^[11]^[12]

Faction power is decentralized, so there is no overall faction leader. Currently, it is known for burning buses, massacres and homicides in the state,^[13] the most notable being the Cajazeiras massacre.^[14]^[15]
