BRENTWOOD, N.Y. — The old minivan appeared near the school on a Tuesday morning, its Illinois plates the only thing out of place in the blue-collar suburbs of central Long Island. But as backpack-toting teenagers passed by on their way to Brentwood High, the van’s doors suddenly swung open.
Out sprang members of the violent street gang MS-13, armed with baseball bats.
They attacked three 16-year-old students they suspected of being rivals before driving off. When police spotted the van in the same neighborhood the following afternoon and surrounded it at gunpoint, the MS-13 members were in the midst of trying to abduct a fourth.
“We were going to take him somewhere private and beat him to death,” said Miguel Rivera, 20, according to a Suffolk County indictment.
The Dec. 6 arrests of Rivera and four others thwarted what police say would have been the sixth murder of a Brentwood High School student by MS-13 in less than two years.
But the incident also shook the school for another reason.
All but one of those arrested attended Brentwood, according to Suffolk County police. Three were unaccompanied minors who had been caught at the border and then placed in the community by a federal refugee program.
From New York to Virginia to Texas, schools in areas racked by MS-13 violence are now struggling with a sobering question. What to do when the gang isn’t just in your community, but in your classrooms?
For the past year, the Trump administration has waged a nationwide crackdown on MS-13. Nowhere has this effort been more intense than in Suffolk County, where police say the gang has committed 27 murders since a surge of unaccompanied minors began arriving in 2013.

I know that and you know that, but the average low information idiot out there honestly believes what they’re shoveled by the lamestream media.
What about "the people" that leftists claim to care about? But then, Joy Reid says that the only people who are worried about MS-13 are Fox News consumers. I hope MS-13 moves into that media-whore's back yard!

MS 13 goons were used to kill Seth Rich and the line was they got the call anything the DNC needed them.Who knows who else used them as well. Dems are slime.
Sadly, they do. God help us all.
As is Westchester County, just north of The Bronx (NYC.) But both have some extremely BAD areas as well.

I missed this and plenty of others did too. FR rules appears to be don’t post in the same day. Thanks for the link to the other post and comments though.
The tell-tale face tats should be made targets and a $10,000 bounty paid on each head.
What would be appropriate punishment in lieu of a trial?
If we would just start killing these invaders instead of coddling them all these problem would go away.
Attacking our borders is an act of war and makes each attacker a non-uniformed enemy combatant. They can be shot as spies according to the Geneva Convention. Why are we not doing that?
