New York City loses 39 MS-13 members as ICE officers help the NYPD bust the alleged gangbangers
Wednesday, June 14, 2017 | U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested 39 alleged New York City-area MS-13 members over the last month, officials said Wednesday.

ICE worked with the NYPD, as well as the Nassau and Suffolk County Police Departments, to make the busts. In total, they arrested 45 alleged gangbangers as part of their new "Operation Matador" initiative, which focuses on fighting MS-13 and other "transnational criminal gang activity" in New York City and Long Island, the feds said.

Twenty of those arrested have criminal records — including weapons and assault convictions, ICE said in a statement. Immigration arrests have steadily risen since President Trump took office, vowing to deport undocumented immigrants with criminal records. All of those arrested are men, authorities said.

Twenty-seven of the detainees come from El Salvador, 11 from Honduras, five from Mexico and two from Guatemala. Thirty-three of the arrests were in Suffolk County. There were eight arrests in Nassau County, three in Queens, and one in Brooklyn, authorities said. Twelve of these men — "all of which were confirmed MS-13 gang members" — entered the U.S. as unaccompanied minors, ICE said.

Woman who lured man to park where MS-13 gang members stabbed him to death gets 40 years in prison
Tuesday, May 30, 2017 A woman who lured an 18-year-old man into Maryland woods with the promise of sex so that MS-13 gang members could beat him to death was sentenced to 40 years in prison Tuesday.

Judge Anne K. Albright gave Vanesa E. Alvarado, now 20, a life sentence with all suspended except 40 years, her lawyer, Timothy Clarke, told the Daily News. In June 2016, Alvarado helped orchestrate the brutal murder of Cristian Villagran-Morales, a Guatemalan-born landscaper. Morales thought he was going to have sex with Alvarado. Instead, he was stabbed 153 times by gang members she knew. Villagran-Morales was suspected of being a member of a rival group, even though family members denied that he was a part of any gang.

Alvarado pleaded guilty to first-degree murder and conspiracy to commit first-degree murder. During the Montgomery Circuit Court sentencing, judge Albright called the attack “utterly brutal,” local media reported. Montgomery county “can’t tolerate violence of this kind,” the judge said. Clarke had asked the judge for a lighter sentence of 25 years, he told The News. He said that Alvarado "regrets her role in this criminal event and is certainly remorseful."

He noted, too, that she has two young children who live with her parents. “Some day in the next couple of years when there is no big crowd of people, I’ll see if I can get the sentence reduced,” he said. Alvarado said nothing during her sentencing, according to local media reports. The mother of the victim called her son’s attackers “horrible people” who “shouldn’t be in this country.” In addition to Alvarado, four others were charged in the killing. One of the four pleaded guilty this month, and charges against a second were dropped. Trials are pending for two others.

Dozens of MS-13 gang members arrested in Los Angeles raids
Wednesday, May 17, 2017 | Federal and local law enforcement agencies made their way into dozens of Los Angeles homes and storefronts before dawn on Wednesday in raids aimed at taking down the highest ranking members of MS-13.

The effort, staged in the early hours of the morning in a bid to catch suspects off guard, came as a result of a years-long racketeering investigation. Roughly 1,000 officers from agencies including the FBI, the Drug Enforcement Administration, the Los Angeles Police Department and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement participated in the 40 raids that kicked off just before 4 a.m., the Los Angeles Times reported. Acting U.S. Attorney for California’s Central District during a press conference said Wednesday’s raids netted 21 federal defendants, with 44 total arrests, according to ABC. Federal agents told CNN the probe, which kicked off in June 2014, targeted the leadership and most violent members of the street gang as well as those gang members linked to the Mexican mafia.

Eric Harden, special agent in charge of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, said law enforcement hopes tackling the top players will cause confusion and disorganization in the lower ranks of MS-13. He’s worked to bring down the gang for decades, starting with his days as a street agent. “They’ve been here since the 80s and have thrived to this date,” he told the news station. “They’re a transnational international gang. Their level of brutality is extreme and high, similar to what we read about and hear with the drug trafficking cartels in Mexico.”

MS-13 was started in Los Angeles nearly 40 years ago by immigrants from El Salvador, many of whom were fleeing the civil war in their home country. It now boasts nearly 30,000 members worldwide, with more than 10,000 of them residing in the United States. The gang has made its way back in the spotlight in recent weeks, thanks in part to President Trump, who specifically spoke of MS-13 on Twitter. Last month, Trump blamed the Obama administration for the gang’s widespread reach, specifically pointing to the former president’s immigration policy. Officials told CNN the investigation that prompted the raids began under the Democratic administration and former FBI Director James Comey.
