PROGRESO — A 23-year-old Salvadoran with suspected Mara Salvatrucha (MS-13) gang ties and a conviction for assaulting a New York police officer was arrested Wednesday trying to re-enter the country, Customs and Border Protection officials said. Santos Chileno-Gomez was arrested about 12:30 a.m. near the Pharr port of entry.
He was one of four illegal immigrants spotted by Texas National Guard members equipped with night vision equipment.
The guard members informed Border Patrol agents, who made the arrest.
Chileno-Gomez, identified by his fingerprints as an MS-13 member, has an extensive criminal history that includes a conviction of second-degree assault on a Long Island, N.Y., police officer.
Rio Grande Valley Border Patrol agents say they have arrested 75 members of MS-13, a violent Central American street gang, since the fiscal year began in October.

It's going to be harder for the naysayers to argue with the stepped up surveillance. It was the National Guard who first observed them. Good job guys. And thanks so much. We do appreciate you all.

Way to go Texas National Guard and Border Patrol!

Isn't it interesting that we all get excited that the government is finally doing what it should have been doing all along?
Don't let up, keep up the pressure on the government so they won't backslide.
