Several suspected gang members were arrested in New York this morning on federal charges, including the brutal murders of three teenagers in Long Island last year, authorities said.
"The murders, particularly of these two girls, young ladies, were particularly heinous," Robert Capers, the United States Attorney for the Eastern District of New York, said at a news conference today. "They were beaten to death in the street with machetes and bats over seemingly nothing and left in the streets or in the backyard of a house to die. These were terribly heinous crimes."
While the prosecutor declined to discuss specifics of how they apprehended the suspects, Capers suggested catching the members of the gang required the cooperation of other immigrants in the community.
"The message we are getting across to the community is we’re here to serve and protect," he told reporters. "And the only way we can effectively do that is with the assistance of the community.”
Charges against the 13 suspected gang members, unsealed in federal court today, include seven murders, attempted murders, racketeering, assaults, obstruction of justice, arson, conspiracy to distribute marijuana and related firearms and conspiracy charges, according to a press release from the U.S. Attorney’s Office.
Four of the suspects were arrested earlier this morning by FBI and local police and were arraigned this afternoon at the federal courthouse in Central Islip, Capers said.
It was not immediately clear if any of the suspects have entered pleas or are currently represented by attorneys.
Officials said the suspects are members of a segment of the MS-13 gang that came to Long Island from El Salvador. Ten of the 13 defendants in this case are in the country illegally, including all of the defendants charged with the murders.

They should have done this in NYC - deBlasio would be able to protect them as he plans on doing with all illegals.
I hear New York State is SOOO mad at these murderers, they’ll give them FIVE years probation instead of three.
These Satan worshipers are Obama’s Dreamers. Their initiation into the MS-13 gang requires that they murder someone, as witnessed by a gang member. Deport every last one of the “unaccompanied minors,” some of them 35 years old, that flooded in during Obama’s catastrophic rule.
This same group kidnapped three girls and murdered one of them in Houston.
There is no reason a single member of this gang should remain in the United States.
Wipe them out General Kelly (DHS)!
Order them all to turn themselves in for deportation or imprisonment.
Any not complying will be hunted down and beaten, then deported and imprisoned.
This goes double for their families.
Why hasn’t some enterprising Reporter dug up the background of all thes ILLEGAL ALIEN CRIMINALS?? I would bet my Last Nickel EVERY LAST ONE of them recevied Special Treatment under a SANCTUARY POLICY!!!
Don’t forget to add the recent murders by MS-13 in northern Virginia, plus the bodies found in a park there, which also have been labeled a gang dump.
All MS-13 and 18th Street gang members need to be deported.
This is what the rat mayors and governors of these big sanctuary cities are protecting the savages that prey upon its citizens. Trump is right he needs our help and support. These rat politicians who protect these savages need to be dumped in the garbage heap of history and its up to the citizenry to help them get there. get on the trump train
If a witnessed murder is a requirement for membership then membership is a de facto confession for murder. Execute them.
If we deport them they will go free. They should be executed. Bring back firing squads and hangings. Sure and swift. Being here illegally and committing murder (or other crimes) should be federal offences.
I would volunteer to be on that firing squad.
Was this child a dreamer?
Someone's been watching too much Law & Order.
Areas around Long Island have become a dumping ground for this garbage! The governments of the West have failed to protect their citizens,,perhaps changes need to be made?
We should not have to wait until illegal aliens are convicted of crimes here before they are removed.
Illegal aliens should not be afforded the opportunity to harm or kill others.
End Obama’s illegal DACA program now or it becomes Trump’s illegal DACA program.
There is no reason a single member of this gang should remain in the United States.
!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Some of them have protected status under DACA.
Obama’s illegal DACA program must be ended soon or it becomes Trump’s illegal DACA program.
ALL illegal aliens need to be removed.
We should not have to wait for them to harm of kill people before they are removed.
If they are to be executed,then it should be PUBLIC.
Diversity! It’s odd how so many stories of criminal violence have that theme. So unexpected.
