Each was accused of a transgression against the notorious MS-13 street gang. Each would meet their end in a manner federal investigators described as “medieval.”
One by one, the victims were lured to remote locations: an abandoned building in downtown Los Angeles; an empty rooftop in Hollywood; a quiet park in the San Fernando Valley.
Each was accused of a transgression against the notorious MS-13 street gang. Each would meet their end in a manner federal investigators described as “medieval.”
In one case, court records show, a 16-year-old boy was lured to a canyon and beaten to death in 2017. His body went undiscovered for so long that his remains wound up charred in a wildfire, according to coroner’s records. Earlier that year, another man suspected of defacing an MS-13 graffiti tag was abducted and dragged into Angeles National Forest. Six gang members cut him apart with machetes, according to prosecutors, who alleged that one cut out his heart.
The gruesome slayings were among seven Los Angeles-area murders linked to the Fulton clique of MS-13 in the last two years, according to an indictment unsealed Tuesday that charged 22 members of the gang, most of them in connection with first-degree murder and racketeering.
The sweeping, 78-page indictment marks the latest salvo between California law enforcement and the notorious gang, which was formed decades ago in Los Angeles and has recently escalated its violent tactics to increase its power, investigators said.
MS-13 has also become a bogeyman used by President Trump to justify stronger immigration enforcement by linking the issue to crime.
Nineteen of the 22 defendants charged in the indictment had entered the country illegally in the last four years, said Thom Mrozek, a spokesman for the U.S. attorney’s office in Los Angeles.

Friends of the Democrat state destroyers.
They aren’t sending us their best.
The Squad APPROVES!
LA Times: “MS-13 has also become a bogeyman used by President Trump”
Dictionary defines “bogeyman” as “an imaginary evil spirit or being, used to frighten children.”
So LA Times thinks the MS-13 threat is “imaginary”?
A bogeyman for Trump.... after describing the atrocities they dismiss them as a phantom menace. Despicable.
“MS-13 has also become a bogeyman used by President Trump to justify stronger immigration enforcement by linking the issue to crime.”
Typical LA Times.
Somebody’s doing the raping.
Do they $h!t in the streets? Or scare it out the other useless Street creatures.
Maybe they just got lost.
MS-13 has also become a bogeyman used by President Trump to justify stronger immigration enforcement by linking the issue to crime.
It should read, Democrats are ignoring MS-13 being linked with illegal immigration, therefore endangering citizens of the USA.
Or this way, President Trump is the one politician in Washington that recognizes that unlimited and illegal immigration destroys the lives of US citizens.
Welcome to Sactuary California!
Such a lovely place,
Mind your step.
They’re crapping in the streets in Sanctuary California!
Anytime of year,
You will find shit here!
It's highly misleading to portray MS-13 as connected to crime.
Even more appallingly, they pretend it is imaginary within the body of their own story about MS-13 violence!
When Demoncrats care to send the very worst
You mean California cops are doing something else other than writing citations for plastic straws or cigarette smoking?
“...that recognizes that unlimited and illegal immigration destroys the lives of US citizens...”
Small price to pay for more votes eh democrats?
You have to walk everywhere in California the same way you walk in rattlesnake country...watch your step!
Hello, Mr. President? Crickets.....
“Nineteen of the 22 defendants charged in the indictment had entered the country illegally in the last four years’
Seal the border and it would be only 3, and no leader.
And no outside support.
MS-13 would die on the vine, or be overwhelmed by other gangs.
Certainly would CEASE TO EXIST.
