But wait! After the State of the Union speech Democrats and the press said they'd never heard of MS-13, and now it's notorious.
I don’t have any problem releasing their names. Let them boil in their own juices. Of course the libs would complain if Trump did that.

Suffolk County voted for Trump.
MS-13 has been a problem since the 1980s.
