Alleged Leader Of MS-13 Street Gang On The East Coast Is Arrested In Virginia

3 days ago U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi says the alleged leader of the MS-13 street gang on the East Coast has been arrested in Virginia. The 24-year-old man from El Salvador was described as one of MS-13’s top three leaders in the United States. Bondi said Thursday that it's a major victory in the Trump administration’s effort to crack down on a gang that's known for brutal violence and extortion. The Justice Department didn't immediately release his name or detail the charges against him. Bondi said he was living in the U.S. illegally. It's unclear whether he's facing federal criminal charges or was taken into custody by immigration officials.
