Bayron Wuifredo Santos-Recarte, a 27-year-old Honduran national and member of the notorious MS-13 gang, has been sentenced to 135 months in prison for kidnapping, retaliating against a federal witness, and unlawful possession of a firearm.
Court documents revealed that on November 5, 2023, Santos-Recarte and other MS-13 associates kidnapped a former federal witness at gunpoint from a laundromat parking lot in Nashville. The victim had previously testified against MS-13 members in a federal racketeering trial, where he detailed attempts on his life over a drug A recent federal press release reveals that during the kidnapping, the victim was held in a truck for hours and assaulted with a firearm, hammer, and machete. The attackers questioned him about his testimony and threatened him with death. The victim eventually escaped and was treated for serious injuries, including fractured bones and internal bleeding.
"The defendant, an MS-13 member, kidnapped a former federal witness and tortured him with a machete, hammer, and gun," said Matthew R. Galeotti, Head of the Justice Department’s Criminal Division. "This violence and obstruction of the American legal system is core MS-13 conduct and exemplifies why MS-13 has been designated a foreign terrorist organization."
Santos-Recarte admitted to law enforcement that he drove the truck used in the kidnapping and was present during the assault. He was found in possession of an assault rifle at the time of his arrest.
In December 2024, he pleaded guilty to multiple charges, including kidnapping and conspiracy. Following his prison sentence, Santos-Recarte will be deported from the United States.
Send VanHollen for a margarita summit.
Just shoot him in the head and be done with it.
Bill Honduras for the cost of the trial, his incarceration, and the bullet.

That sentence isn’t long enough
Can he still receive conjugal visits from Van Hollen?
Send him to Cecot, so the Democrats can go visit him too. That will also save us from having to deport him.
Van Hollen is going to have to drag another one to safety by the Johnson. The gringos are mean to their guests and slave laborers.
I am sure Bayron is just misunderstood and is being oppressed by the oligarchy.
EL SALVADOR HAD THE RIGHT IDEA IN BUILDING THAT PRISON
Why aren’t they turning this sewage over to Van Hollen? He collects this crap.
He was an aspiring salsa musician just about to turn his life around…
Only 11 years? His actions attack the very fabric of our republic. Minimum 20.
Too little time for the heinous crime he committed.
Execute him.
Preach it.
Sadly, it seems that some people are past redemption.
How many Democrat “lawmakers” are going to visit him in prison and demand his release?
Send him to a prison in a ruthless country to serve time. Sweeten the deal with a per diem in the other country. that will send a message. Kind of like contractual prison, which is a big thing.
Show us his KNUCKLES !
Send the killer to Maryland and turn him loose in Hollen’s neighborhood.....
