Agents in Kingsville, Texas, last week arrested an MS-13 gang member attempting to hide in a vehicle. A routine check unveiled that he had been arrested in South Carolina in 2007 for conspiracy to commit murder and aid racketeering, for which he was found guilty and sentenced to 10 years in prison.
The gang (MS-13) is known for its particularly horrific and gruesome crimes, and its motto is said to be "mata, viola, controla," which means "kill, rape, control."
Also on Friday, agents in McAllen, Texas, stopped a Tango Blast gang member who Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officials revealed has an "extensive criminal history" in the U.S.
