Two were arrested by border agents in Texas. Another was found washing cars at a Santa Ana dealership.
The Salvadoran gang members were responsible, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials alleged, for the March assassination of Andrés Ernesto Oliva Tejada, a prosecuting attorney in the homicide unit of the Salvadoran Attorney General’s Office in the southeastern city of Usulután.
Within weeks of the killing, the suspects had made their way to the United States. And experts say this is far from the only case in which the epidemic violence in El Salvador is overflowing into nearly all points north — and especially in Los Angeles, where El Salvador’s two deadliest gangs were founded.
Gang leaders from Mara Salvatrucha, also known as MS-13, and the 18th Street gang have continued to consolidate their power over neighborhoods across Central America, along human smuggling routes and within the narcotics trafficking trade. They’re also increasingly reaching out to affiliated gangs — called cliques — in the United States, according to Special Agent Tony Rodriguez, the section chief for ICE’s National Gang Unit.
Many cliques already pay dues that help support the gangs in El Salvador, but Rodriguez said leaders have been emboldened by the weakness of the Salvadoran government and their growing power throughout other parts of Central America. Now, he said, MS-13 and 18th Street leaders in El Salvador, “are trying to put pressure on members to get more violent and more active” in the United States.

Repeat offenders need to simply disappear!
Gang members should be across the board denied entry to this country, period. If they show up, it should be immediate arrest, and put out on a chain gang for a period of time not less than the amount of time they have been in this country illegally, multiplied by the number of times they've been previously deported, then shipped back. After being deported, shot on sight if the gang member returns again...and his entire family deported if they are not American citizens.
Too bad we can't deport AlLL the gang members crawling our streets.
Salisbury certainly has its share.
Salisbury has a bunch of wanna be gangs/gang members.
These guys are not posers. They are the real deal. The violence that follows them would crush our law enforcement budgets. They should be regarded as domestic terrorist once in this country. They start killing in El Salvador in the early teens. They are very dangerous. This country needs to act on these clowns swiftly and with precision.
These killers are not your ordinary thugs they come from a third world environment and are taught to follow the rule till death. The bottom line is they have zero value on their own lives so your life is less then zero to them.
The answer is yes we do have them in our county.
Build the wall !!!
6:23 has it right, and when we finally get a real president, we need to round these people up, or shoot them where they stand if they resist.
Most LE agencies know who they are and where they are. They need to have a contingency plan to execute when they finally get permission.
Wow. 9:18 sounds like Hitler talking about jews.
