US officials on Tuesday cracked-down on the violent MS-13 gang, arresting 26 people for a range of crimes committed in three US states and the Central American nation of El Salvador.

"Early this morning, federal, state, and local law enforcement officials here in North Carolina began executing arrest warrants against 26 alleged members of the gang La Mara Salvatrucha, also known as MS-13," US Attorney General Michael Mukasey said.

The defendants face a variety of charges stemming from crimes committed between 2003 and June 2008 including four murders, narcotics distribution, robberies, illegal firearms possession, extortion, assault, intimidating witnesses and obstruction of justice, the Department of Justice said in a statement.

The arrests followed the unsealing of a 55-count indictment from a federal grand jury in Charlotte, he said.

A gang leader directed many of the activities from his prison cell in El Salvador, where he received money wired by gang members, the statement said.

"Criminal gangs such as MS-13 increasingly recognize no borders, which means that international cooperation is more important today than it ever was before," Mukasey said, thanking the government of El Salvador for its role in the bust.

"Thankfully, that collaboration is on full display in our relationship with the government of El Salvador," he said.

MS-13 is an extremely violent gang that originated in El Salvador and operates there and in Honduras, Guatemala, Mexico and throughout the United States, Mukasey said.

"Today's indictment is merely the latest sign of the gang's reach, and it shows the breadth and seriousness of the crimes that MS-13 members are alleged to have committed," he said.

Many of the defendants were in the United States illegally, and two were additionally charged with re-entering the country unlawfully after having been deported, the DOJ statement said.

Just doing the gang crime that Americans refuse to do!

We have similar problems here in central Texas. The loco(l) only wants to draw our attention away from the obvious.

26 out of some 30,000...

[papasmurf]

Just arresting them and sending them to gang college (Prison) will only make them stronger.

I don’t know what the answer is, but I’m sure it starts with securing our Borders.

[rrrod]

A drop in the bucket. NC is a total haven for illegals. Scams here are wide spread from any type of welfare to auto tags. Co.s operate openly with illegal workers using stolen SSI numbers from legals(green card holders) with Spanish names.

I contacted ICE in Nov. about one such company and the company continues to go along its merry way. This was after I contacted Senator Dole’s office...they put me on hold and then to a voice mail. I left several messages. NOT one return call or contact from her office.

I finally sent her worthless office an email.....this is the results...note date is june 13 08...

” Thank you for contacting The Elizabeth Dole Committee. Senator Dole appreciates hearing from people regarding issues that are important to them. We will be sure to pass your message along to her. We will be more than happy to take the information you have regarding a company hiring illegal’s and pass that along to the ICE people. We are sorry that you feel disenfranchised by the Republican party. Senator Dole has accomplished many great things for North Carolina. If you would like to know where she stands on any issue, please feel free to contact us directly. Thanks again for contacting The Elizabeth Dole Committee.”

My advice for anyone in NC having info is to contact ICE directly...and NOT local authorities for obvious reasons.

[KoRn]

They should all be lined up and shot.

After a few public displays like that, it might begin to send a message. I won’t be holding my breath waiting for it to happen.

“Many of the defendants were in the United States illegally, and two were additionally charged with re-entering the country unlawfully after having been deported, the DOJ statement said.”
.....this information was left out of The Charlotte Observer’s coverage of the story....same with Channel 3 and Channel 9 local news....the growing criminal organization of illegals is a major threat that none of the MSM will mention....it’s shameful....no wonder news of MSM layoffs are greeted with hoots of derision by the public.

[DemonDeac]

I am so happy about the diversity that illegal immigration has brought my native state of North Carolina. We have people from all over the world who have come to kill us with their drunk driving and their violent gang-banging. And I am so happy about what they’ve done to some of our schools and how they have helped raise the level of academic achievement.

[ASA Vet]

I don’t know what the answer is, but I’m sure it starts with securing our Borders.

Providing free air transportation to deportees would help. Few would return for a 2nd flight.

HUH?!?! These 'immigrants' are .... Violent Criminals? No waaaaay. This is a mistake, gotta be. Why we are told, and told, and told, and even SCOLDED and called vile names by US Senators, that these 'immigrants' are all...

• "Good, hardworking people."
• Whose.. "Family Values Don't Stop At The Rio Grande"
• And only come here to.. "Better their Lives" and are all
• Law Abiding people whose only (cough) crime is not "having documents" and....
• "Only Do The Jobs _lazy Americans Refuse To Do."

Boy, if I've been lied to by politicians I may just get upset. After all, if you can't trust a politician who can you trust?

Will Senator Juan McAmnesty,
please pick up the White Courtesy Phone.

"Criminal gangs such as MS-13 increasingly recognize no borders, which means that international cooperation is more important today than it ever was before," Mukasey said...

There's another thing criminal gangs have in common with our elected leaders & captains of industry.

"Thankfully, that collaboration is on full display in our relationship with the government of El Salvador," he said.

Its a shame we are reduced to groveling to foreign governments to help solve problems that should be a slam dunk for local law enforcement... in a country that took its borders seriously.

[La Enchiladita]

What took them so long?
I guess law enforcement was the last to know about this deadly gang.

NC ping!

[Kimberly GG]

Great.

Deport them.

They’ll be back tomorrow.

Then we can waste millions of dollars finding them, re-arresting and deporting them.

After they’ve killed more Americans.

ARREST AND DETAIN OR IMPRISIONMENT UNTIL OUR BORDERS ARE EFFECTIVELY SECURED.

They are just Doing Jobs Americans Won’t Do Anymore - another bit of wisdom from Dubya and Juan McCain.

Anyone have further info? Where in NC?
I live in a small town outside Raleigh and we have MS 13 graffiti around ti=owen. The mayor and commissioners deny there is any activity, just copy cats they say.

I forgot to mention you can’t go to Wal Mart or to the grocery stores here on Sat. It’s like being in Mexico.

We are seriously considering moving from NC because of the illegal problem. But...where do you go??

Well, Wilmington is so crowded that there’s hardly room for anyone else here...except in the high-dollar neighborhoods they keep building, that is.
