One thing is true: MS-13 is on the rise.
According to Brian Truchon, Director of the FBI's MS-13 National Gang Task Force, the MS-13 gang has been identified in 42 states. Los Angels is the starting point, and from L.A. there is always a road back to Central America.
The FBI has identified 13 core cities for MS-13: Baltimore, Boston, Charlotte, Houston, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Newark, New York, Omaha, Sacramento, San Francisco, Seattle and Washington.
Joe Trias of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement says, "MS-13 is not going away. We are seeing second generation MS-13 members, and MS-13 recruitment is increasing. We also see signs of a more formal criminal structure developing within MS-13, both in the United States and in Central America.
To investigate and counter trans-border gang activity, the FBI has placed agents in El Salvador, Honduras, Guatemala and Chiapas, Mexico.
