Fifteen members of Mara Salvatrucha 13, which police say is the city's most violent gang, have been charged with murder since April, including seven in the death of 19-year-old Isai Alexander Euceda. He was killed during a shootout involving at least 17 people in a part April 13.

The shooting, police said, was part of a dispute between Salvadoran and Honduran members over leadership of the gang.

53 were being held on immigration charges and will have deportation hearings, Conrad said. Six suspects were arrested and released pending a hearing to determine their immigration status.

The other three were being held on federal criminal charges, including illegal possession of firearms and returning to the United States after being deported.

Out of "over 60" arrests, 56 were clearly illegals with another six likely to be illegals.

Seems to me something was missing from the headline.
