The Border Patrol has captured four members of the violent Salvadoran gang Mara Salvatrucha, or MS-13, in South Texas during the past four days.
On Friday, a Bishop deputy constable stopped a car on U.S. Highway 77. One person was determined to be a member of MS-13 and was arrested.
The discovery of five illegal immigrants about 13 miles south of Falfurrias on Saturday resulted in the capture of another MS-13 gang member with an extensive criminal history and a prior deportation from the United States.
Two more MS-13 gang members were captured Sunday when a Victoria County sheriff's deputy detained two men determined to be in the country illegally.
The Border Patrol confirmed the two detainees were members of MS-13.
In June, Giovanni BermudezArevalo, 26, an admitted MS-13 gang member, was arrested in Bee County when a sheriff's deputy pulled over the van he was traveling in with 15 other immigrants.
Border Patrol officials said they have captured 47 members of MS-13 in the Rio Grande Valley Sector this year.
