More on that El Salvador gang coming up over the borders:
Central American gang may have presence in EP
The Mara Salvatrucha -- a large, ruthless Central American street gang linked to a recent bus massacre in Honduras whose members have been popping up along the Texas-Mexico border -- may be making its way to El Paso, police said.
El Paso police had their first confirmed encounter with the Mara Salvatrucha on Aug. 15, when officers responding to an assault call in a Downtown parking lot discovered a tattooed member of the gang armed with a machete.
In May, Mara members armed with machetes cut four fingers off a rival gang member in northern Virginia, which has seen a wave of violence linked to the gang, the Washington Post reported.
Earlier this month, Mexico's top organized crime prosecutor, Jose Luis Santiago Vasconcelos, said gang members, known as mareros, were being hired as low-level gunmen for the Juárez-based Carrillo Fuentes cartel. Several men with the Mara Salvatrucha's distinctive tattoos were killed in recent months in Matamoros and Nuevo Laredo in apparent drug-related killings, the Associated Press reported.
"The drug traffickers hire them as killers, but without making them formally part of their organizations," Santiago Vasconcelos told the Associated Press. "It's a way of using their violent behavior in favor of drug trafficking."
U.S. Rep. Solomon P. Ortiz, D-Texas, whose district covers the lower Rio Grande Valley, said there was an added concern about the gang's presence along the border.
"We know from El Salvadoran law enforcement that al-Qaida is meeting with violent gang leaders in El Salvador," Ortiz said in a Sept. 2 news release.
Whether linked to Middle Eastern terrorism or not, the gang plague is considered a national security threat by authorities in Honduras and El Salvador and a potential threat to Mexico.
"They are in an area where they don't have much of a future and, unfortunately, they've gone into a gang mode," Werge said.
