SAN DIEGO – A member of the notorious Mara Salvatrucha street gang was caught among a group of illegal immigrants Monday by Border Patrol agents in rugged country near Jamul.
Javier Cortez Majano, 23, was among a group of five people stopped about 6 a.m. about two miles north of the U.S.-Mexico border, said Border Patrol spokesman Mark Endicott.
A records check showed that Cortez, a Honduran national, was a member of the gang, also known as MS-13, and had a criminal history in Arkansas, Endicott said.
Founded in Southern California by Salvadoran immigrants in the 1980s, Mara Salvatrucha has spread through much of the United States and back into Central America, bringing with it a reputation for violence and tight organization.
Cortez, who had been formally removed from the United States in the past, is being held pending deportation, Endicott said.
BORDER PING
I am so tempted to say there is a way to make sure that doesn’t happen again, but I won’t.

So? Take him out behind a bush and put a round in his head. Problem solved!

AGREE W/ THAT
If you did, I'd be tempted to wholeheartedly agree with you.
He must be freed and protected from evil US border agents! This is racism!/s
Hang’Em High!!
I’m glad you didn’t have to. ;-)
Just smuggling the drugs & guns Americans won’t run...
Naw, they will just deport him again and he will be back a few days later.
Feed the pigs.
OK, I’ll say it: The ideal tools for border security against the MS-13 gangsters would in my view be where each team is issued a gatling gun and a backhoe.
Deporting criminals is a joke because they just cross the border again. Start fining their country of origin, by taking away aid, $50,000.00+ depending on the crime. Also we should fine these countries for every illegal we catch.
