“5 gang members in 7 days! #Laredo Sector #USBP agents arrested 5 gang members in the last week, including one man identified as MS-13 & two 18th Street gang members,” Hudak tweeted.
Hudak added gang members are taking advantage of the crisis gripping the border since the inauguration of President Joe Biden in January.

“Yuma Sector Border Patrol agents apprehended a MS-13 gang member early Monday morning, describing Payes-Mejia as an active MS-13 gang member with previous removals from the U.S., several felony convictions and served time in prison.
The Department of Justice described MS-13, or Mara Salvatrucha, as “one of the world’s largest and most violent street gangs.”
“After relatively humble beginnings in Los Angeles in the 1980s, it has spread to more than a half-dozen countries and become a central focus of law enforcement in two hemispheres. In spite of these efforts, the MS13 remains a persistent threat and shows signs of expanding its criminal portfolio,” the DOJ added of the gang.
The violent gang has an estimated 50,000 to 70,000 active members from the U.S. to Central America, and has been reported to be operating in Europe, as well.
The DOJ in its report also warned that the gang seeks to take advantage of lax immigration laws.
While the gang was founded in California, MS-13 has shown a startling propensity for cropping up in other areas of the country. Law enforcement officers on the East Coast have seen a dramatic increase in gang activity in recent years.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement has previously described the 18th Street Gang as a violent group in El Salvador.

What happened to Biden's insistence that the border mess was all Trump's fault?
Besides, I thought KamelToe was in charge of the border crises. Where has "the one who learned her job on her knees" been?
The reality is, Trump's policies had stopped the chaos at the border and he was building a border wall.
Biden and his kommie krew have rescinded all of these policies and stopped building the wall.
That's, in truth, why the border has become a disaster in a few short months.
Smoke mirrors and bull sh##
Listen catch a few get the media on it and the masses are satisfied with the fine job we are doing at the border. Meanwhile...................

Democrats are fighting for the rights of gang members to STAY in the US... They want gang members to have the same ‘rights’ as other illegals.
Is that a horror or what?
