Mara Salvatrucha 13 operating in RGV.

 

he hyper-violent Mara Salvatrucha Gang operates in at least 42 states with about 6,000 to 10,000 members in the US, and now it operating in the RGV.

Law enforcement organizations throughout the U.S. consider the Salvadoran gang a dangerous transnational organization and Homeland Security Investigation agents are tracking the gang's racketeering and murder cases in the U.S., and FBI reports show that the gang is active in Texas.

The gang, also known as MS13, is so violent that the FBI had to form a special task force to stop them and prosecute their crimes.

A former DEA agent told CHANNEL 5 NEWS about the gang's affiliation to the Zetas drug cartel.

Former Assistant Secretary of State for Western Hemisphere Affairs Roger Noriega said the newly elected president of El Salvador has ties to MS13. "Evidence shows the current president has maintained ties with the street gangs and uses those relationships for his advantage," Noriega said. Noriega said Sanchez's victory may create a safe haven for transnational criminal organizations in El Salvador. It may also lead to a spike in illegal immigration and violence in South Texas.

"(It) is very dangerous. It presents a safe haven to them. It could give them opportunities to launder money. These groups are involved in people-smuggling. These criminals are not going to have any hesitation as far as helping smuggle drugs or terrorists over the U.S.," Noriega said.
