They escaped MS-13 in Central America only to find the gang thriving in northern Virginia

FAIRFAX, Virginia — Immigrants who fled Central American countries to get away from transnational criminal organizations such as MS-13 have come to the United States only to find the exact same gangs terrorizing northern Virginia communities.

Five federal and local officials who work on gang matters in the region told the Washington Examiner that while they do not have a way to calculate exactly how many people — asylum seekers, temporary protected status recipients, immigrants, and those without documents — have been victims of crimes committed by MS-13 and others, the immigrant community in Fairfax County, Virginia, is often on the receiving end of extortion, violence, and other crimes.

“We know that these gangs ... victimize their own communities. We know that sometimes in these immigrant communities they may not report all the crimes to police and that people in these immigrant communities are also escaping the gangs from their countries, and they’re finding them over here in the United States as well,” said Francisco Klockner, a gang prevention coordinator with the Fairfax County juvenile and domestic relations district court.

About 20 years ago I worked on a construction job in the Washington suburban area and almost all of the carpenters and laborers were from El Salvador and you would see MS13 spray painted on a lot of jobs.

Northwest Woodsman: Ok, 6:54, take a word of advice and don’t trust any government to look out for your welfare, especially the CIA or the FBI. Have worked for both and as a result, rely on my own capabilities for protection and you should prepare yourself to do the same.
