United States: Notorious MS-13 Gang Spreading Across the United States

MS-13 present in 46 states

In March 2017, MS-13, one of the most notorious gangs in America, became the first street gang to be designated as an international criminal group. The gang, founded by immigrants who fled El Salvador’s civil war over 20 years ago, has over 10,000 members and is prevalent in 46 states. Gang members are regularly accused of crimes such as murder, kidnaping, prostitution, drug smuggling and human trafficking. The groups affinity for violence has shocked authorities and even rival gangs. MS-13 is allies with several of Mexico’s warring drug cartels and has a strong presence in California, Washington, Virginia and much more of America. President Trump has branded the gang as a national security threat.

Those operating or residing in the US are advised to be aware that violent criminal gangs do operate across the country. Avoid areas that are known to be frequented with gang members and remain vigilant.
