U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has announced a significant victory against a notorious transnational criminal organization.

Agents recently arrested an MS-13 gang leader in suburban Washington, D.C. Herberth Bonilla-Garcia, 40, was apprehended during a targeted raid in Manassas, Virginia.

Bonilla-Garcia hid in the United States after earning a spot on El Salvador’s most-wanted list. He was previously deported from the U.S. in 2006 and 2012.

Just the News‘ Madeleine Hubbard has more:

“Herberth Bonilla-Garcia has a history of unlawfully entering the U.S. and this time he apparently did so to escape justice in his home country,” Assistant Removal Operations Field Office Director Erik Weiss said. “The United States is not a safe haven for the world’s criminals.”

El Salvador has issued warrants for Bonilla-Garcia for illicit association and aggravated exportation, officials said.

Bonilla-Garcia is currently in U.S. custody until he is deported to El Salvador.

It is common for migrants to attempt to cross the border multiple times, as 2021 data shows more than a quarter of arrests at the border were of migrants with a history of attempting to cross.

    He should be dropped in the ocean on the way.
    We and the government of El Salvador should have MS 13 declared a terrorist organization for all that it entails internationally.

      Yes, biden under one arm and his punk, cokehead kid under the other.

    Wait! Wait! Nancy Pelosi says MS13 members all have a spark of divinity / heart of gold. According to her and the progressive crowd, these guys only do bad things when forced to by the real sources of evil, like cops, Christians, military members, veterans, conservatives, Republicans, gun owners, etc etc.
    Of course, that is like believing if you reach out to pet a rattlesnake, it will act like a cuddly kitten. Oh, I hear it purring! How cute!

    The statement that “the US is not a safe haven for the world’s criminals”may have been true at one time – before Biden’s open borders.

    GymS

    Only one of the thousands criminal biden let in. Lets deport biden too.

    Is it possible for a House of Representative or Senator to claim GOP, but lean more toward Democrat or visa/versa?

      Bandit

      Yea. They’re called RINOs. Republican In Name Only.
