HOUSTON- The reputed leader of a violent gang with roots in El Salvador was sentenced to seven months in prison Friday for illegally re-entering the country, U.S. Attorney Chuck Rosenberg announced.
Lester Rivera Paz, 29, of Honduras, is expected to be deported after completing his sentence. He has been in federal custody since his arrest in February near Falfurrias. He was indicted in March on one count of illegal entry into the United States after being deported.
Rivera, who officials say has many aliases, including "El Culiche" or The Tapeworm, Eber Anibal Rivera Paz and Franklin Jairo Rivera-Hernandez, was the Honduras leader of the Mara Salvatrucha, or MS-13 gang.
He is accused of masterminding a Christmastime bus massacre in Honduras that killed 28 people.
More than 200 gang members, including several in Texas, have been arrested nationwide since the U.S. Bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforcement launched a sweep in March.
WorldNetDaily.com: Washington - "MEXICAN DRUG COMMANDOS EXPAND OPS IN 6 US STATES" (ARTICLE SNIPPET: "The ultra-violent, U.S.-trained elite, Mexican paramilitary commandos known as the "Zetas," responsible for hundreds of murders along the border this year, have expanded their enforcement efforts on behalf of a drug cartel by setting up trafficking routes in six U.S. states. A U.S. Justice Department memo says the U.S.-trained units have recently moved operations into Houston, San Antonio and the states of California, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Georgia and Florida. They have been operating in Dallas for at least two years, according to the feds.") (June 21, 2005) (Read More...)

ROTFLMAO
see 12
MS-13 HAS 20,000 MEMBERS AND YOU SAY THEY WON'T LAST LONG. wHAT ARE YOU DRINKING TODAY?
I'm all for seeing him swinging at the end of a hemp rope after a short fall. Cheaper and more effective than running pre-season mini-camps for professional violent criminals.
The biggest obstacle to crushing the MS-13 is the Buchanan/Tancredo crowd type thinking that demands that anyone who cooperates, assists, or provides information to the FBI or LEOs be jailed and deported if they don't have the proper papers.
But then the Antis aren't concerned with gang crime any more than they are with terrorists are they? It's just another excuse to attack President Bush for not sealing the border to migrant laborers.
Kinda like they way the illegals continue to sneak across the border, huh?
(Sorry for the caps in the previous post)
Yep, good call - no one cares about terrorists or gangs, just a bunch of people washing dishes in a restaurant.
Now I'm convinced you're just doing all this as a goof. NO ONE could post something like that seriously. You're like the Andy Kaufman of this forum: adopt a persona and NEVER break character. Pretty funny, actually.
Still can't reply with anything other than personal attacks? The others must be proud of you.
BWWAAAHHHHAAAAAA...
He has pals....too many for a conservative forum.
Actually, that was meant as a compliment. Oh yeah, I forgot - you're not breaking character. Excuse me, but I have some terrorists and gang members to hang out with while we bitch about "employees who look illegal" mowing the lawn. Ta!
Keep your eye on all news and data on MS-13. Daily information overload, to be understated. I have almost zero spare time to post anything pertaining to MS13, or anything else now for that matter.
Keep the eagle eye open. MS13 is horrible and we need to remain alert on this one. Good work.
Tom Eaker ?........Now that's scary !!
The FROBL Clown Posse brings many smiles to my face these days.......they still try and make the criminal act of illegally entering and staying in this country something we should just ignore. Those of us who won't turn a blind eye for profit, who will work to stop it, are labled as racists by these fine folks. Crime fighting is now a racist act according to these fine examples of good law abiding Americans who love their country ..........:o)
Laughable at best, a joy to watch waste their time trying to get folks banned in their little lying flame wars.......They remind me of DITHF and Ash.......LMAO !!
Hope yer well.....

MONTICELLO, Ind. (AP) -- Police arrested a member of the Latin American street gang MS-13, and the government will deported him to El Salvador, homeland security officials said Tuesday.
Victor Maravel, who had entered the U.S. illegally, was arrested by Monticello police Thursday at his girlfriend house and turned over to the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
Maravel is a member of Mara Salvatrucha, or MS-13, a violent Latin American gang targeted in a government operation that so far has rounded up more than 400 of its members in this country.
Maravel has arrests for public intoxication, resisting arrest and operating a vehicle without a license, the agency said.
