WASHINGTON Federal agents have dealt a serious blow to the violent Honduran street gang known as M-S-13.Using information from local and state law enforcement agencies, federal agents charged 103 members with a range of criminal and immigration counts.
The arrests came in New York, Washington, Los Angeles, Baltimore, Newark, Miami and Dallas metropolitan areas over the last several weeks.
The Bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, which headed up the operation, calls M-S-13 one of the largest and most violent street gangs in the U-S with the majority of its members in the country illegally.
The gang has carried out beheadings and grenade attacks in Central America and here in this country is known to hack its enemies with machetes in cities along the East Coast.
