MIAMI - Miami police say they arrested a member of a violent street gang as he pushed a shopping cart carrying two .22-caliber rifles and a shotgun.
Police arrested Edwin Reyes, 23, a citizen of Honduras, in downtown Miami Tuesday. They said he is a member of MS-13 (Mara Salvatrucha 13).
Reyes' arrest is part of a new Immigration and Customs Enforcement anti-gang initiative called "Operation Community Shield." Since Operation Community Shield was launched late last month, ICE agents working with their federal, state and local counterparts have arrested more than 103 MS-13 gang members, including 24 in Miami.
Reyes will be prosecuted federally for possesing firearms. Police said Reyes entered the country illegally, and he also faces administrative immigration charges for being an illegal alien.
Reyes is in ICE custody pending the outcome of his case.
Two .22s and a shotgun is hardly a 'cart full of guns'.
"Reyes' arrest is part of a new Immigration and Customs Enforcement anti-gang initiative called "Operation Community Shield."
Apparently the arrest would not have been made unless this 'new initiative' had been enacted.
Does this mean that shopping carts were a common means of transporting firearms from one location to another?
An illegal alien gangbanger carrying guns. Certainly time to pass new laws prohibiting this.
He's just pushing the cart full of guns American gangbangers don't want to push...;-)
The lazy American gangbanger would only have one measly weapon in his cart..(-:
He was just looking for the local Target store.
Stop it. I am trying to have a drink here and I don't need to spray my screen.
At least they didn't call him a 'migrant' or an 'undocumented worker'.
Apparently it was a very small cart.
MS13 gang member pushing a shopping cart with weapons down a Miami street (albiet only 2 .22s and a shotgun) and thankfully picked up as part of a new ICE gang initiative wherein illegal alien gang members pushing shopping carts full of guns down public streets are being arrested.
PING
ROTFLMAO!
Boy, is the ICE going to give him a stern warning to attend his hearing in 6 months before they release him!
They may even write him up!
Won't work ... they don't sell any targets. I know this - I asked a stocking clerk myself. I think they should change the name of their store.
>>a new ICE gang initiative wherein illegal alien gang members pushing shopping carts full of guns down public streets are being arrested.
roflmao!
This thread is a good start for a Friday night.
If Edwin Reyes is an example of this dreaded new MS-13 gang, their reputed violence pales in comparison to their soaring stupidity. Deport this retarded POS as a worthless public nuisance rather than waste taxpayer dollars guiding the punk through DOJ mazes.
Enough of this sh!t already.

What happened to the Catch & Release Program?
It is when you use a Barbie and Ken cart.
