Attorney General Jeff Sessions plans to take on an the notorious street gang MS-13. He said he wants to “devastate” MS-13, who are thought to be blamed for the surge in murders in New York.
The most dangerous thing about the transnational gang is that they “engage in violence for sport,” declares Police Commissioner Timothy Sini. In a hearing for an alleged murder, for example, two MS-13 members reportedly laughed and smiled into the cameras.
MS-13 first formed in LA during the ’80s, more than 7,000 of its members arrested within the last 10 years. It is estimated that more than 10,000 MS-13 members are in existence in dozens states throughout the country
Police believe that the gang’s recent growth is due in part to the recruiting of vulnerable children who cross the border alone. These kids are given a sense of family, by the gangs, which is something they are craving.
Sini recognizes the importance of “weeding out those gang recruiters,” but also stresses the importance of implementing “community-based programs so that we deter and prevent gang recruitment.”
The commissioner is promising to deliver the abolishment of MS-13, asserting that “we are not going to tolerate crime in our communities.” We believe the eradication of MS-13 will take time, it is a war that law enforcement does not intend to lose.
