Authorities dealt a staggering blow to Long Island’s murderous MS-13 gang — busting 96 members and associates in the largest takedown of the notorious criminal group in New York state history, prosecutors announced Friday.
The arrests, all in Suffolk County, are the result of a nearly two-year county, state and federal investigation — and include nine cell, or “clique” leaders of the violent gang — virtually the gang’s entire presence in the county, officials said.
The investigation also thwarted seven Long Island-based murder plots, officials said.
And perhaps most importantly, the investigation prevented the El Salvador-based gang from getting a strong foothold on New York soil, according to Ray Donovan, special agent in charge of the DEA in New York.
“We’ve learned that through this investigation MS-13 had plans for establishing an East Coast foundation here in New York for the gang, that will never happen,” he said.
The bulk of the accused thugs, 64 defendants, were busted in the past week as part of a new indictment alleging murder conspiracy, drug trafficking, gang violence and the possession and sale of weapons, said Suffolk County District Attorney Timothy Sini.
“They’re decimated,” Sini said of his county’s estimated total of 10 cliques.
“They will attempt to recalibrate … and that’s why we need to stay vigilant.”

CNN: Trump going after children again.
~~two year County/state/federal investigation and they didn’t already have a strong foothold????? Do these arrests fall under Cuomo’s legislation to not charge anyone with crimes?
“”the investigation prevented the El Salvador-based gang from getting a strong foothold on New York soil, “”
That is all very well and good, NOW will they be deported or put back on the streets?
Did the aclu red phone go off? The splc phones? Uncle al’s nan hot line? Someone has to protect these poor youts.
Many won’t even have to post bail that is how screwed up NY us now.
Bring back hanging and the gibbet.
Hopefully 96 thugs died resisting arrest.
Ms-13 gang tat should be an instant 9mm round in the cerebellum
Take ‘em ALL down...
to about six feet under.
They forfeited their claims to being human long ago
They won’t be deported to El Salvador, just to Maryland and northern Virginia, where they loves them some ILLEGAL ALIEN GANG BANGERS.
They will be back on the street, cuz the governor will pardon them. Aren’t these the home boys of Pelosi? 😁😆🤗
SPJNK x 96.
How about the gang's entire presence in the country
if it were up to me, none would make it to jail.
.………..the Texas Rangers knew how to handle these type thugs. Sometimes they got a short trial in the field and then a tall mesquite tree would do.
There were literally times when Rangers in certain areas eradicated all crime and had nothing to do.
But for Liberals, we could do it again and women and children could go play in the parks in their neighborhoods.
If they’re deported, they’ll end up back on our streets soon enough.
They’ll either be out or replaced by Monday morning.
Take their worthless simian looking asses out to Montouk Point. Chain ‘em up, slather ‘em up in some primo chum and take ‘em off shore few miles and let the Great White Sharks get ‘em. The size of Great Whites caught off those waters are YUGE! I remember when I was working in NYC in the summer of ‘79 and the NY Post had front page picture of a Great White taken from a low flying helicopter. The thing was 20 ft. long. It dwarfed the fishing boat that had landed it. I bet “Jaws’’ would like Mexican food. Might be a little spicy though.
These guys can’t post bail. Conspiracy to commit murder.
