Investing.com -- A top leader of the violent Mara Salvatrucha (MS-13) gang was arrested in Virginia on Thursday, as confirmed by Trump administration officials. The arrest was the result of a joint operation involving the FBI, along with state and local authorities.
The 24-year-old suspect was taken into custody in Woodbridge, Virginia, and identified as one of the key figures in the Salvadoran MS-13 gang. However, authorities have not disclosed the suspect’s name.
The arrest was acknowledged by White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt and FBI Director Kash Patel through posts on X. In addition, President Donald Trump mentioned the capture of a significant gang leader in a post on Truth Social, without providing further details.
In 2020, over a dozen members of the MS-13 gang were indicted on terrorism charges. These charges were related to their alleged involvement in organized crime activities spanning across the U.S., Mexico, and El Salvador over the past two decades.
