A mother whose daughter was allegedly raped and murdered by a member of the infamously vicious MS-13 gang is suing the Biden administration over her daughter&#8217;s death.
Tammy Nobles, the mother of 20-year-old Kayla Hamilton, accused the Biden administration of playing “Russian roulette with our lives” in her lawsuit, which was filed late last week.
The $100 million suit accuses the Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Health and Human Services of failing to stop the teenage El Salvadoran gang member from entering the country.
“Nobody at the border did their job and checked his background,” she <a href="https://www.newsnationnow.com/crime/mother-sues-dhs-daughters-death-gang/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> NewsNation.
Hamilton, who had autism, was strangled with a phone cord on July 27, 2022 in her Frederick, Maryland trailer home, according to police.
The 17-year-old illegal immigrant suspect had run away from a holding facility and ended up as Hamilton&#8217;s roommate in the trailer home.
“He ends up in this trailer home as a roommate with lovely Kayla, that was leased out by another illegal immigrant,” <a href="https://www.newsnationnow.com/crime/mother-sues-dhs-daughters-death-gang/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> Brian Claypool, the family’s attorney.
The suit accuses the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) of failing by allowing the suspect to be in the holding facility in the first place, failing to verify the suspect&#8217;s identity with a phone call, and failing to confirm a verified sponsor for him.
The family&#8217;s attorney also said a gang-related tattoo was visible on the teen and should have prevented him from entering the country.
About six months after the murder, authorities finally arrested the suspect after comparing his DNA to material at the crime scene.
He was charged with first-degree murder, rape, and robbery. He is currently being held without bail, and his trial is scheduled to begin on June 28.
He was listed as a member of MS-13, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)  <a href="https://nypost.com/2024/01/22/news/tammy-nobles-files-100-million-lawsuit-against-dhs/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">confirmed</a>.
“We’re bringing this lawsuit because we’re tired of being held hostage in our own country. We’re tired of DHS playing Russian roulette with our lives,” the family&#8217;s attorney told NewsNation.
On Thursday, Nobles testified to House lawmakers as part of an impeachment inquiry into Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.
“For me, this not a political issue, this a safety issue for everyone living in the United States,” she told the House Homeland Security Committee.
“I want everyone to know what’s going on at the border,” Nobles <a href="https://nypost.com/2024/01/22/news/tammy-nobles-files-100-million-lawsuit-against-dhs/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>. “I had no clue what was going on before my daughter was brutally murdered and raped — but I do now.
“All they had to do was make one phone call to El Salvador to know that he was an MS-13 gang member on the list,” she added.

MS-13 Gang

A member of the violent <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/ms-13-gang" target="_blank" rel="noopener">MS-13 street gang</a> pled guilty on Thursday to his role in the brutal murders of four people, including two teenage girls who were beaten with baseball bats and hacked to death with machetes on Long Island.
The 26-year-old man pled guilty to racketeering and firearms charges related to the murder of the teen girls, as well as two men.
The young girls, best friends Nisa Mickens, 15, and Kayla Cuevas, 16, were ambushed and killed on September 13, 2016, in a retaliatory move by gang members.
The murders happened on a residential street in the girls&#8217; Long Island neighborhood of Brentwood, about 40 miles east of Manhattan.
The 26-year-old man was accused of being one of the MS-13 gang members who attacked them.
“The defendant and others chased and attacked them with baseball bats and machetes,” Assistant U.S. Attorney Justina Geraci <a href="https://nypost.com/2023/08/31/ms-13-gangbanger-pleads-guilty-to-4-long-island-murders-including-two-teen-girls/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>. “The defendant hit one of the girls so hard the bat actually broke.”
“I am guilty,” the MS-13 member said in a statement read by his lawyer at his plea hearing in Central Islip federal court.
Dressed in a yellow prison jumpsuit, the man, who goes by “Oso” and “Turkey,” <a href="https://nypost.com/2023/08/31/ms-13-gangbanger-pleads-guilty-to-4-long-island-murders-including-two-teen-girls/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">admitted</a> that he had been in a car with other members of the Long Island contingent of MS-13 when they spotted the girls and attacked them.

“I used a bat to hit one of the girls. I also hit the second girl,” the killer said in his statement, adding that he is &#8220;aware that they died as a result of the attack.&#8221;
The girls had allegedly disrespected gang members, the murderer said.
The bodies of the murdered teenagers had many lacerations, as well as significant blunt force trauma to their heads and bodies when they were found, prosecutors said.
&#8220;As part of his desire to gain status within MS-13, [the killer] repeatedly acted with complete disregard for human life, killing four individuals along with multiple other attempts,&#8221; Breon Peace, U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of New York, said.
The killer also admitted to using a baseball bat in another 2016 murder, a fatal gang attack on a 34-year-old man, Dewann Stacks. He also admitted to standing guard as gang members fatally shot a 29-year-old man, Esteban Alvarado-Bonilla, in a Central Islip deli in 2017.
He also pled guilty to arson and four attempted murder charges, including trying to kill his fellow prison inmates.
He begged prosecutors to make sure it was known he never cooperated with federal authorities, his lawyer saying he was fearful of MS-13 retaliating against him in prison if they believed he did cooperate.
The shocking double murder of the teen girls made national headlines at the time.
Former President Donald Trump visited the Long Island neighborhood and promised to &#8220;dismantle, decimate and eradicate&#8221; the MS-13 gang.
MS-13, a notoriously brutal gang that originated in Los Angeles but has a strong presence in El Salvador, <a href="https://www.justice.gov/opa/speech/file/958481/download" target="_blank" rel="noopener">had</a> more than 10,000 members in the U.S. in 2017.
In recent years, MS-13 operatives have also engaged in human smuggling and served as protection for the drug cartels near the southern U.S. border.

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/el-salvador">El Salvador</a>&#8216;s crackdown on violent gangs, which has reduced the country&#8217;s murder rate by over half is problematic actually, according to The Guardian.
<a href="https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2023/jul/02/the-guardian-view-on-el-salvadors-crackdown-a-short-term-high-cost-fix">The Guardian</a> published an editorial on Sunday criticizing El Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele for his unsparing crackdown on violent organized crime, saying his methods do not address the root cause of the crime, among other issues, Townhall <a href="https://townhall.com/tipsheet/juliorosas/2023/07/06/the-guardian-takes-issue-with-el-salvador-reducing-murders-by-90-percent-n2625373" target="_blank" rel="noopener">noted</a>.
The Guardian acknowledged that the crackdown has made the country safer, made Bukele more popular, and even made other Latin countries want to copy El Salvador and rid their streets of crime the same way.
&#8220;Even long-term critics acknowledge that extortion appears to have fallen sharply and that many in communities which lived in terror are enjoying the freedom to live their lives unmenaced. Yet others, many of them innocent of any crime, have paid a high price for a campaign that has trampled over basic rights: at least 153 people have died,&#8221; the editorial said.
The Guardian questioned Bukele&#8217;s power as well as the crackdown.
&#8220;Some may consider that a price worth paying. But even focusing purely on results, the story is more complicated than it appears,&#8221; The Guardian said, saying the murder rate has been falling since 2015.
El Salvador&#8217;s murder rate <a href="https://www.usnews.com/news/world/articles/2023-01-03/el-salvador-murders-plummet-by-over-half-in-2022-amid-gang-crackdown" target="_blank" rel="noopener">plummeted</a> 56.8% in 2022, with authorities counting 496 homicides last year, down from 1,147 in 2021.
The editorial also said the crackdown does not address the underlying causes of organized crime.
&#8220;[Critics] also say the fall in crime is unsustainable – with good reason,&#8221; the editorial continued. &#8220;Previous hardline drives in the region have ended badly, followed by surges in offending. They do nothing to tackle underlying causes such as poverty and discrimination. They breed resentment and enable the recruitment and hardening of those not entrenched in gangs. Many of the criminal organisations that now terrorise parts of Latin America were born in prisons.&#8221;
The Guardian said one critic said the &#8220;real success story is not of the defeat of gangs, but the perpetuation of Mr Bukele’s power.&#8221;
&#8220;This is a man who dubbed himself &#8216;the coolest dictator in the world&#8217; in response to criticism,&#8221; The Guardian said.
&#8220;It is assumed that the popularity of his crackdown will sweep him back into power next year, even though multiple experts say that would violate the country’s constitution. What worries opponents, scholars, lawyers and civil society most is what he may do after that, with renewed authority,&#8221; the editorial said.
&#8220;&#8216;Bukelismo&#8217; should not be admired, or emulated,&#8221; The Guardian concluded.
Last month, Bukele encouraged journalists to speak to El Salvadorans on the street about the crackdown.
&#8220;Given that we have over 300 international media outlets in the country today, I want to ask you to go speak with people on the street, ask anyone you meet at random,&#8221; Bukele said in a video message to journalists posted to Twitter.

&#8220;Here, in El Salvador, you are free to go anywhere you want. It&#8217;s totally safe,&#8221; Bukele said. &#8220;Nothing will happen to you. Nobody will stop you.&#8221;
El Salvador’s crackdown on violent criminals began last year when the government declared a state of emergency as the country battled a spike in murders.
The crackdown <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/el-salvadors-crime-crackdown-could-push-gangs-north-toward-u-s-expert-warns" target="_blank" rel="noopener">has seen</a> thousands of suspected gang members locked up in the country’s new maximum security prison in central El Salvador, which can hold up to 40,000 inmates.

Florida authorities charged a male <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/ms-13-gang" target="_blank" rel="noopener">MS-13 gang member</a> on parole with murder and other offenses after police said he killed and dismembered an Uber Eats driver making his final delivery to the assailant&#8217;s home last week.
Oscar Solis Jr., 30, allegedly killed Uber Eats driver — 59-year-old Randall Cooke — while Cooke was making his final delivery of the night to Solis&#8217; home in Holiday, Florida, on April 19, according to authorities.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
During a <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pascosheriff/videos/891481455280044" target="_blank" rel="noopener">news conference</a> on Tuesday, Pasco County Sheriff Chris Nocco said that Solis &#8220;yanked&#8221; Cooke into his home and butchered him. According to a police affidavit reported by <a href="https://apnews.com/article/driver-dismembered-uber-eats-killing-florida-58f3225edbc076c34995fe8896c9be28?utm_source=ForYou&amp;utm_medium=HomePage&amp;utm_id=Taboola" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Associated Press</a>, authorities found the remains of Cooke in trash bags and a cooler, which also had a receipt with Solis&#8217; name on it.
&#8220;This was a horrific crime of passion,&#8221; Nocco told reporters. &#8220;This was demonic. What he did was demonic.&#8221;
Cooke reportedly told his wife via text message that he had one delivery left to complete before returning to their residence. After the victim&#8217;s wife didn&#8217;t hear from her husband, Nocco said she contacted the police and filed a missing person&#8217;s report later that evening.
&#8220;He was just a guy like everybody else, just trying to make a living for his family,&#8221; Nocco said.
Authorities were able to track down Cooke&#8217;s final delivery location through Uber Eats.

Nocco said police searched around Solis&#8217; house the day after Cooke disappeared and attempted to make contact with the occupants. Police returned to the residence on April 21, where they could view surveillance footage given by a roommate of Solis, which showed Cooke making the food delivery until the camera cut off when he arrived at the door.
Video footage later showed two men carrying heavy trash bags outside. The other man allegedly accompanying Solis was not charged by police.
Jail records observed by The Associated Press report that Solis faces charges of murder while engaged in a robbery, failure to register as a convicted felon, and for parole violation.
Indiana authorities released Solis from prison in January after he served four years for an assault and burglary conviction, Nocco said. Upon his release, Solis&#8217; moved to Florida. According to the affidavit, Solis, who stands 6-foot-4, and weighs 315 pounds, worked security at a strip club.
&#8220;You&#8217;re talking about a violent individual that Indiana released and sent down to Florida,&#8221; he said. &#8220;They released him on parole. Unfortunately, now we have a hardworking guy, a loving husband, who is no longer with us because this violent individual killed him.&#8221;
Nocco confirmed Solis had been affiliated with the international criminal gang that originated in Los Angeles, California, in the 1970s and 1980s Mara Salvatrucha, more commonly known as MS-13.
The announcement from Pasco County Sheriff&#8217;s authorities comes days after the Tampa Police Department arrested and charged a 38-year-old man for allegedly kidnapping and raping a female DoorDash driver in her early 20s, shooting a member of the victim&#8217;s family, and then committing a robbery.
Joseph Killins, 38, was arrested on Saturday in relation to a kidnapping and sexual battery that occurred on April 18 just after 11:00 p.m. at a Residence Inn hotel. Police <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/female-doordash-driver-kidnapped-raped-during-delivery-at-florida-hotel" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> the suspect held the unidentified female delivery driver at gunpoint, forced her back into her car, and made her drive to the Belara Lakes Apartment complex, where he allegedly raped her.
According to law enforcement, family members of the DoorDash driver rescued her from Killins after tracking her cellphone location. When her family arrived, Killins allegedly fired multiple bullets at the victim&#8217;s kin, with one shot striking a family member of the victim&#8217;s girlfriend, before fleeing the scene.

Violent Crime

El Salvador&#8217;s ongoing crackdown on violent criminals, which has seen thousands of suspected gang members locked up in a new mega-prison, could prompt those still free to flee the embattled nation, experts warned.
Late last month, officials transferred thousands of prisoners to the country&#8217;s new maximum security prison in central El Salvador, the Terrorism Confinement Center in Tecoluca. On Wednesday, another 2,000 prisoners were <a href="https://apnews.com/article/el-salvador-gang-crackdown-prison-state-of-emergency-d95e1fcd5b806c38077ffb060c8c2f48" target="_blank" rel="noopener">locked</a> in the new prison, which can hold up to 40,000 inmates.
Striking video footage showed lines of shirtless, heavily-tattooed prisoners with shaved heads running bent over and handcuffed as they were moved to the new prison facility.

While more gang members behind bars is presumably a good thing for El Salvador, the crackdown has pushed the gangs north.
Some leaders of the infamously violent MS-13 gang have already fled to Mexico.
&#8220;We know that they are in Mexico, and that from there they are giving instructions in a cowardly manner,” the El Salvador justice minister <a href="https://ticotimes.net/2022/06/22/el-salvador-continues-crackdown-on-gangs-as-leaders-flee-to-mexico" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>.
Mexican authorities have also reported a larger presence of gang members associated with El Salvador like MS-13 and their rival, the 18th Street gang over the past year. At least three public transportation drivers in Mexico <a href="https://apnews.com/article/caribbean-el-salvador-mexico-guatemala-crime-bbebd03f8d7c28dc2d4e40faac5d1844" target="_blank" rel="noopener">were recently shot</a> to death by Salvadoran gangs, who have begun terrorizing and extorting the drivers.
“If we don’t do anything we’re going to be a little (El) Salvador,” one of the Mexican drivers <a href="https://apnews.com/article/caribbean-el-salvador-mexico-guatemala-crime-bbebd03f8d7c28dc2d4e40faac5d1844" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>.
El Salvador&#8217;s gang members and leaders are always trying to get into the U.S., warns Jessica Vaughan, director of policy studies at the Center for Immigration Studies.
&#8220;They can make more money here and enjoy themselves more here, and there are many new places for them to set up shop for the gang, and many vulnerable youth to recruit,&#8221; Vaughan told The Daily Wire.
MS-13 <a href="https://www.justice.gov/opa/speech/file/958481/download" target="_blank" rel="noopener">had</a> more than 10,000 members in the U.S in 2017.
If El Salvador&#8217;s war on gangs does drive gangs up to the southern U.S. border, they will be met by the Biden administration&#8217;s <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/border-patrol-chief-says-dhs-doesnt-have-operational-control-us-border" target="_blank" rel="noopener">overwhelmed</a> border forces and likely have little trouble sneaking into the country.
&#8220;Right now it&#8217;s not difficult for them to get in,&#8221; Vaughan said. &#8220;There is much less threat of border and interior enforcement than in prior years, especially if they have not been in the United States before.&#8221;
If gang members have previously been deported from the U.S., they have to keep a lower profile to avoid the risk of being criminally charged and removed again.
&#8220;It would be smarter for them to go to another country, but MS-13 members are not known for being smart,&#8221; Vaughan said.
In recent years, MS-13 operatives have engaged in human smuggling and served as protection for the drug cartels. Their new presence in Mexico could exacerbate an already dangerous environment.
&#8220;That is a tricky business, because they would have to have a relationship with a cartel, with all the risk and volatility that would bring, not to mention even more involvement in violence,&#8221; Vaughan said. &#8220;Adding MS-13 to the organized crime mix in Mexico is likely to make the situation even more volatile, because they are usually aggressive and brazen in trying to carve out a niche to operate and audacious in competing with other crime organizations.&#8221;
With <a href="https://www.reuters.com/world/americas/el-salvador-opens-40000-person-prison-arrests-soar-gang-crackdown-2023-02-01/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">nearly 2%</a> of the adult population incarcerated, El Salvador is one of the most crime-ridden countries in the world. The government crackdown on gangs — which Vaughan notes is a &#8220;regular cycle&#8221; in El Salvador — <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2022/03/30/el-salvador-bukele-state-emergency-homicides/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">began</a> a year ago when the government declared a state of emergency as the country battled a spike in murders. 
Since then, about 65,000 people have been arrested as part of the operation as the state of emergency was repeatedly extended. Human rights advocates have expressed concerns that the government&#8217;s approach veers authoritarian — about 57,000 of those arrested are still waiting to be formally charged and face a trial. 
Meanwhile, though, citizens have <a href="https://www.reuters.com/world/americas/el-salvador-vows-gang-crackdown-will-go-citizens-cheer-safer-streets-2023-02-15/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">celebrated</a> El Salvador&#8217;s streets becoming safer, and murders have plummeted by about half.

House GOP leaders are targeting the Biden administration by opening an investigation into the murder of a young autistic woman by an illegal immigrant from the deadly MS-13 gang.
House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) and Rep. Tom McClintock (R-CA), chairman of an immigration subcommittee, fired off <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/policy/immigration/jim-jordan-investigating-biden-ms-13-gang-murder" target="_blank" rel="noopener">letters</a> to Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Xavier Becerra demanding answers about a 17-year-old illegal immigrant who allegedly raped and strangled 20-year-old Kayla Hamilton in her bed in Aberdeen, Maryland, on July 27, 2022. The suspect, who reportedly identified as an unaccompanied minor, was freed after he was apprehended in Texas in March 2022.

“Criminal aliens and gang members exploit the U.S. immigration system to harm Americans,” Jordan and McClintock wrote. &#8220;The Biden Administration’s border and immigration policies only increase the likelihood that those criminal aliens will successfully enter and remain in the U.S.”
“The Biden Administration’s open-border policies have created vulnerabilities that criminal aliens and gang members exploit to the detriment of American citizens,” Jordan wrote to Becerra. “Pursuant to the Rules of the House of Representatives, the Committee on the Judiciary is authorized to conduct oversight of federal immigration policy and procedures.”
Hamilton had <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/restoring-america/fairness-justice/mother-demands-border-fix-daughter-ms-13-murder" target="_blank" rel="noopener">come back</a> from working an overnight shift at a grocery store the night she was murdered. Her boyfriend had left the mobile home where they lived when she got home to go to work. She called her boyfriend, but the call went to voicemail which recorded her as she was attacked. “It was him strangling her,” Hamilton’s mother Tammy  Nobles said. &#8220;Two minutes and 30 seconds.&#8221;
“It’s really hard to process,” Nobles told Fox News host Brian Kilmeade. “Not only do we have to process losing her, but we also have to process what happened to her.”
“I don&#8217;t know where he came from,” Nobles said of the alleged murderer. “I don&#8217;t know how he got here or how he ended up being in the same area as her. &#8230; I just feel like as a mom you want to keep your kid safe. I wouldn’t want any parent to experience and go through what I’m going through.”

“She always saw the good in everybody,” Nobles recalled of her daughter. “She was very trusting. Too trusting; she could not see danger at all.”
“I am hoping he gets the most that he can get and deserve,” she said of the alleged murderer. “I feel that if he’s done this at such a young age, there’s no telling what he’s capable of as an adult.”

Daily Wire host <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/michael-knowles" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Michael Knowles</a> lauded a viral video from <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/el-salvador" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Salvadoran</a> President Nayib Bukele showing <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/gangs" target="_blank" rel="noopener">gang</a> members rounded up and sent to a large prison complex in humiliating fashion, contending that American officials should likewise wield authority to deter violent <a href="http://dailywire.com/topic/crime" target="_blank" rel="noopener">crime</a>.
El Salvador witnessed a 56.8% decrease in the murder rate last year as the Latin American nation’s government instituted a crackdown on gang-related violence. Bukele shared a <a href="https://twitter.com/nayibbukele/status/1629165213600849920" target="_blank" rel="noopener">video</a> on social media showing thousands of gang members with shaved heads and no clothes except for identical white shorts being packed into buses by heavily armed prison guards. The offenders were then transported in buses to a newly constructed supermax prison.
El Salvador constitutes the territory of MS-13, a gang especially infamous for its brutal killings of women and children. Knowles <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DpLciEz5HTU" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> during a recent episode of “<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/show/the-michael-knowles-show" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Michael Knowles Show</a>” that the Salvadoran effort to protect its population arose as a result of a concentrated will from the electorate.
“It’s a miracle political program over the last couple of years,” Knowles remarked. “How did El Salvador do that? It wanted to do that. It wanted to fix the murder problem, it mustered the political will to do it, and then the president effecting this policy, sent in troops to go round up MS-13 like the animals that they are.”

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Knowles noted that Bukele intentionally “created a very slick, highly produced propaganda video humiliating them, and then he put that out there for all the world to see” and contrasted the unapologetic approach toward criminal justice with the policies advanced by American officials. “We in the United States need to follow the lead of the government of El Salvador,” he continued. “We need to be clear that if you commit crimes, you will be punished for it.”
The video from El Salvador indeed follows a <a href="https://www.themarshallproject.org/2022/01/12/as-murders-spiked-police-solved-about-half-in-2020" target="_blank" rel="noopener">report</a> from the Marshall Project indicating that authorities in the United States solved less than 50% of homicides in 2020, marking the latest concerning metric in a long decline since the 70% of homicides which were solved in the 1980s. The trend occurs as Americans exhibit their lowest approval in decades for capital punishment: only 54% of respondents to one Gallup <a href="https://news.gallup.com/poll/357440/death-penalty-support-holding-five-decade-low.aspx" target="_blank" rel="noopener">survey</a> were in favor of the death penalty for an individual convicted of murder.
Knowles, predicting that criminals in the United States do not believe that they will be held accountable for their actions, blasted “the libs and the squishes” who described the crackdown in El Salvador as inhumane or authoritarian. One <a href="https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2022/09/12/the-rise-of-nayib-bukele-el-salvadors-authoritarian-president" target="_blank" rel="noopener">article</a> from The New Yorker said that Bukele instituted “a repressive crackdown on gangs to become Latin America’s most popular leader.”
“Can you be repressive against gangs?” Knowles asked. “Seems like that is actually liberative of the people. It’s not repressive upon the people when you go after these criminals.”

Knowles also observed that Bukele has become the region’s most popular leader because he is “wielding authority to do good, to get the bad guys and to help the good guys.” He encouraged American lawmakers, judges, and executives to follow suit.
“What he is showing us is that the law is a teacher. We’ve known this all the way back to the ancient Greeks,” Knowles continued. “When the law sends an army to your door and rounds up your gang like the animals they are, you are going to get fewer gangsters, and they are going to commit fewer crimes.”

‘The Law Is A Teacher’: Michael Knowles Reacts To Viral Video Showing El Salvador’s Crackdown On Violent Gangs

Michael Knowles Reacts To El Salvador's Crackdown On Violent Gang Members

Five members of the infamous transnational gang <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/ms-13-gang">MS-13</a> were found guilty late last week of the gruesome 2016 murder of two <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/virginia">Virginia</a> teenagers.
The gang members, believing a 14-year-old and 17-year-old to be part of a rival gang, “lured” them on separate occasions to remote areas and violently murdered the adolescents, according to the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/department-of-justice">Department of Justice</a>. 
According to the office of the U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, the gang members convinced the unnamed 17-year-old to go to a park in Fairfax County, Virginia, on August 28, 2016. Once there, they <a href="https://www.justice.gov/usao-edva/pr/jury-finds-ms-13-members-guilty-roles-murdering-two-juveniles">killed</a> him by “stabbing and chopping him more than 100 times with knives, a machete, and a pickaxe.”
Roughly a month later, they murdered again, killing a 14-year-old they claimed was a police informant. He was invited to a gang meeting and later driven to the same Fairfax County Park by members of MS-13, according to authorities.
“They also filmed the murder with a cell phone so that they could prove to gang leaders in the United States and in El Salvador that they deserved to be promoted in rank. Then, once S.A.A.T. was dead, the gang broke his legs and tied him up with his own pajama pants so that he would fit into the shallow grave that was dug for him that night,” the DOJ reported. 
The MS-13 members found guilty of the murders included Elmer Zelaya Martinez, Ronald Herrera Contreras, Henry Zelaya Martinez, Pablo Velasco Barrera, and Duglas Ramirez Ferrera. In addition, nine others charged in connection to the killings have already pled guilty for their roles.
Each of the five came from El Salvador and faced kidnapping and murder charges. They could each be sentenced to life in prison. 
The investigation into the murders involved multiple entities, including the FBI’s Washington division, Fairfax County police, ICE, the U.S. Marshall’s Service, Alexandria police, Prince William County police, and several police departments.
MS-13 is a transnational gang that originated in Los Angeles but has spread <a href="https://insightcrime.org/el-salvador-organized-crime-news/mara-salvatrucha-ms-13-profile/">throughout</a> the United States, Europe, and Central America. The gang is known for violence and has a heavy presence in Guatemala, El Salvador, and Honduras. 
Just last month, another Virginia jury <a href="https://www.justice.gov/usao-edva/pr/jury-convicts-seven-ms-13-members-and-associates-sex-trafficking-minor">convicted</a> several MS-13 members for the sex trafficking of a 13-year-old girl. The gang made money by selling her for sex and brutally abused her, at one point beating her with a baseball bat 26 times, according to authorities.
Those members also face life in prison.

Members of the violent MS-13 gang, as well as members of other gangs, are using the migrant caravans to slip into the U.S.
U.S. Border Patrol Agent Chief Matthew Hudak tweeted Friday that officials had captured five gang members the previous week in Laredo, Texas.
“5 gang members in 7 days! #Laredo Sector #USBP agents arrested a total of 5 gang members in the last week, including an #ms13 &amp; two 18th Street gang members. They attempt to evade arrest by exploiting the influx of migrants attempting to enter our country,” Hudak tweeted.
The MS-13 and 18th Street gangs are both violent gangs originating from Central America. They have also entered the U.S., committing murders in multiple East Coast states, most prominently New York. Two years ago, Suffolk County, New York, authorities said they had pretty much <a href="https://abc7ny.com/ms-13-suffolk-county-long-island-gang/5771962/">eliminated</a> the gang from the area.
The Daily Wire has reported previously on the violence caused by the gangs in the U.S. In January 2020, a member of the MS-13 gang who had been <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/ms-13-gang-member-deported-five-times-found-in-u-s-again">deported five times</a> previously was apprehended once again. The gang member had a history of drug offenses, grand theft auto, theft, and burglary.
One of the most prominent stories involving the gang involved attacking a man and his friends with a machete. As The Daily Wire reported:
<blockquote>Manuel Amaya-Alvarez, a 22-year-old El Salvadorian national who was in the U.S. illegally, was sentenced to 20 years on November 14, according to a press release from the Department of Justice (DOJ). Amaya-Alvarez was one of several MS-13 gang members involved in the attack, which resulted in serious physical injuries to two men and the death of a female.
Amaya-Alvarez admitted in September 2017 that he and his fellow gang members planned to “take out” four individuals at the Running Bear Park just outside of Dallas, in Irving, Texas. Members of the gang lured a man they believed was part of a rival gang to the park, claiming they wanted to purchase his tattoo machine. When the man arrived at the park with two other men and a woman, Amaya-Alvarez and another gang member greeted the group.
The group of four was taken into a wooded area, where other gang members armed with a shotgun as well as machetes and clubs revealed themselves. The four victims were surrounded and forced to their knees. The MS-13 gang members robbed the four individuals and then began attacking them.
The three men were able to escape, but two of them suffered blunt force trauma and cuts from the gang’s weapons. The woman, according to the DOJ, “was savagely maimed and left for dead.”</blockquote>
In Seattle in October 2019, a gang member <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/another-brutal-gang-slaying-in-sanctuary-city-seattle-yet-police-still-wont-work-with-ice">admitted to killing</a> his teenage friend with a baseball bat and then working with another gang member to chop the body into pieces using a machete. Seattle, a sanctuary city, continues to refuse to work with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
The New York Post <a href="https://nypost.com/2021/05/01/ms-13-other-gang-members-exploit-migrant-wave-to-cross-into-us/">reported</a> that Border Patrol agents in California last month arrested “a documented MS-13 gang member” who had been traveling with Salvadoran migrants to the U.S. Border.

MS-13 Gang Members Using Migrant Caravans To Sneak Into U.S.: Report

El Salvador President Nayib Bukele told Fox News host Tucker Carlson on Monday night that high levels of immigration to the United States are not a good thing for the U.S. and was even worse for nations in Latin America, which he said are being gutted of the very people that are needed to build strong economies in those countries.
Bukele said that the surge north has been caused by three factors, including a lack of economic opportunities, a lack of security, and incentives provided in the United States. Bukele also suggested that the policies on the border and enforcement of immigration matters by U.S. authorities, or lack thereof, was a factor in what is happening.
Bukele said that he has seen improvement in his country as they have started to get a handle on the rampant violent crime afflicting his nation, which is a hotbed of MS-13 gang activity.
&#8220;If you don&#8217;t provide for your people, economic opportunities, if your economy is doing bad, if your security is doing bad, people are going leave, and you&#8217;re going to go and try to find a rich country, right? They&#8217;re not going to leave for Guatemala. They want to go to the United States,&#8221; Bukele said. &#8220;So, that makes this country dependent on immigration because you become a net exporter of people. You&#8217;re not exporting products or services, you&#8217;re exporting people.&#8221;
&#8220;So, that makes your economy dependent on that because those people send money back to their home countries which is not a good economic formula,&#8221; Bukele continued. &#8220;That makes the economies dependent of that. So, when you keep this country dependent on that, the economy is like a vicious cycle, so it&#8217;s bad for the United States because immigration will go up and it&#8217;s bad for our country because people leaving the country will go as well so it&#8217;s bad for both of us.&#8221;

TRANSCRIPT:
<blockquote>TUCKER CARLSON, FOX NEWS HOST: Mr. President, thanks for joining us.
NAYIB BUKELE, PRESIDENT OF EL SALVADOR: Thank you for inviting me. 
CARLSON: So there are an estimated 2 million Salvadorans living United States.
BUKELE: Maybe a little more.
CARLSON. Maybe more and more coming now. Why do you think so many people have moved from this country to the U.S.? 
BUKELE: Well, it&#8217;s obvious. I mean, our country has failed to provide two basic things, which are the two main drivers of immigration, which is the lack of economic opportunity and the lack of security. If, I mean, most people won&#8217;t like, doesn&#8217;t want to leave their country.
CARLSON: Right. 
BUKELE: They, they like their culture, they like their food. They like their weather. I mean, it&#8217;s it&#8217;s their country, they have their family members here, their friends, they leave, most people leave their country because of two main reasons. And those are the two main reasons. And if you add up the civil war we had in the 80s, well, that was the main driver at the beginning. And then you have people, you know, that have cousins over there. And then the cousins says, oh, come here, you will have a job here.  
CARLSON: Right.
BUKELE: And there&#8217;s relative security, based on what you have over there and what you have here. And so those are the main drivers of immigration that our country has failed to provide security and economic opportunity. So people leave, so people leave. 
CARLSON: So, but if the richest country in the world says if you cross over the border, we will give you free health care, free education, all these benefits, I mean that&#8217;s a draw, isn&#8217;t it?
BUKELE: Of course, it&#8217;s an incentive. I mean, everything is everything life is pros and cons, right? 
CARLSON: Yes. 
BUKELE: So you have for immigration, you have a con, that probably you don&#8217;t know the language or you have to, the journey is a difficult one, you may die in the journey. But if in the end, they will receive a lot of things, of course, it&#8217;s a, the the pros go up and the cons go down. So it depends. It&#8217;s an incentive game here. And if, for example, if here in El Salvador we have better jobs and better security, it&#8217;s less, it&#8217;s less of an incentive, and you can see it in the numbers. We haven&#8217;t changed the country 180 degrees in two years, in 1 year and 9 months, we have been in government, of course. But if you see the numbers two years ago, you see the numbers now, immigration from El Salvador has gone down. And it&#8217;s a couple of reasons, but one of the reasons is that, we have improved security by 75%, I mean the homicide rate has down by 75% and the violent crimes have gone down by 75%. And economic opportunities are a little better than what they were two years ago. And there&#8217;s more, there&#8217;s a little more hope here that the future is going to be better. So that lowers the numbers that way. That&#8217;s why you have caravans of 10,000 people going out of Honduras, and you don&#8217;t have any caravans going out from El Salvador. But two years ago, El Salvador was bigger than Honduras in immigration. So you have incentives and drivers here, like I told you before,  economic opportunities and security, and you have incentives over there. What you will find at the border and what you will find inside and with and with law enforcement over there.
CARLSON: Losing energetic risk taking people is obviously bad for your country, you want to keep people like that here. Do you resent the fact that the United States has offered all these incentives for people to leave your country and go there? 
BUKELE: No, I&#8217;ll never resent that. But I just think that for a country, it&#8217;s not profitable to get the people out. First, it&#8217;s immoral. I mean, you need to provide for your people, right? 
CARLSON: Yeah.
BUKELE: That&#8217;s a moral issue. But you also have an economic issue. If you send your hard working people, and you&#8217;re talented people and people that want to work and want to risk it just to go and work, You want to keep them here, because those will be the drivers of your economy. You don&#8217;t want them there. So they could take remittance, which will be a small portion of what they will earn and will they produce. You want them to produce here, but you&#8217;re talking about problems that have been there, and not only El Salvador but in a lot of countries in Latin America for the last four decades. And this immigration thing it has is just feeding on dependency on immigration of the countries that drive it. So it&#8217;s not good for for the United States and it&#8217;s not good for El Salvador. The best thing for both of us is to keep our people here and to provide for our people right here and to provide for our people right here in our country and that&#8217;s what people here want. 
CARLSON: Yes. 
BUKELE: So at the end it&#8217;s not, I won&#8217;t resent it of course, but I think that it&#8217;s better if we can keep our people, that&#8217;s our job and morally that&#8217;s the thing we have to do. 
CARLSON: Explain quickly if you would, what you said is not good for the United States to become dependent on immigration. What do you mean by that?
BUKELE: No, no. Latin American countries. If you don&#8217;t provide for your people, economic opportunities, if your economy is doing bad, if your security is doing bad, people are going leave, and you&#8217;re going to go and try to find a rich country, right? They&#8217;re not going to leave for Guatemala. &#8230; They want to go to the United States. So, that makes this country dependent on immigration because you become a net exporter of people. You&#8217;re not exporting products or services, you&#8217;re exporting people. So, that makes your economy dependent on that because those people send money back to their home countries which is not a good economic formula. That makes the economies dependent of that. So, when you keep this country dependent on that, the economy is like a vicious cycle, so it&#8217;s bad for the United States because immigration will go up and it&#8217;s bad for our country because people leaving the country will go as well so it&#8217;s bad for both of us.</blockquote>

President Of El Salvador Nayib Bukele Visits “The Story With Martha MacCallum”

President Of El Salvador: High Immigration To U.S. Is Bad For U.S. And Latin American Nations

After a man who was scheduled to testify against alleged members of the violent MS-13 gang was found bludgeoned to death in New York, Nassau County officials, including the police commissioner and the district attorney, questioned whether new bail reform laws that permitted his name to be revealed by defense attorneys to defendants had led to his death.
<a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2020/02/05/nyregion/ms-13-long-island.html">The New York Times</a> wrote of the victim, Wilmer Maldonado Rodriguez, 36, &#8220;On Sunday, Mr. Rodriguez was found beaten to death outside a home in New Cassel, N.Y., and on Wednesday, his killing became a new flash point in the debate over criminal justice changes enacted by the New York State Legislature in 2019 at the urging of progressive lawmakers.&#8221;
As <a href="https://nypost.com/2020/02/05/man-who-was-supposed-to-testify-against-ms-13-gang-members-found-dead/">The New York Post</a> reported, Rodriguez was “allegedly attacked by nine MS-13 members in October 2018 after intervening when the group threatened two boys. The suspects allegedly beat all three victims, stabbing Maldonado several times and knocking him in the head with a bat, officials said.”
Last December, prosecutors revealed who Rodriguez was to an arrested suspect’s defense team; prior to that his identity was concealed by protective order, as Nassau County District Attorney Madeline Singas stated. She added, “This case underscores the importance of safeguarding the identities of witnesses and victims of crime and our hearts are with Mr. Maldonado’s family and friends as we grieve his loss.”
Nassau County Executive Laura Curran added, “These new discovery requirements pose a threat to both the victims and witnesses of crimes … I am calling on Albany to take corrective action to fix criminal justice reform immediately. These new discovery requirements pose a threat to both the victims and witnesses of crimes.”
As <a href="https://wcbs880.radio.com/articles/news/ms-13-witness-killed-nassau-s-top-cop-blames-bail-law">WCBS</a> reported, Singas stated, &#8220;This courageous man was prepared to testify against his alleged assailants at an upcoming trial, but he was brutally beaten to death before he could.”
Police Commissioner Patrick Ryder noted that the new bail reform law forces prosecutors to hand over all evidence against a defendant within 15 days of arraignment. He stated, “The system failed. The system failed, this man is dead … Justice reform is not taking care of our victims.” <a href="https://www.newsday.com/long-island/crime/witness-murder-reform-new-cassel-1.41460454">Newsday</a> noted, “Nassau Police Commissioner Patrick Ryder said even before Rodriguez was killed, he was assaulted and another victim was shot at &#8212; acts of intimidation that Ryder said began after the previously sealed evidence in the case was disclosed to defense attorneys.”
Ryder later stated there was no direct correlation between the law and Rodriguez&#8217;s death.
In late December, acting state Supreme Court Justice Helene Gugerty, the trial judge, issued an order that provided “for the disclosure of the protected information to defense counsel” but said that the defendants couldn’t see it until Jan. 6 “as that was the trial date,” according to court officials.
Singas added that prosecutors &#8220;protected this victim’s identity by obtaining a protective order in December of 2018, but his identity was disclosed pursuant to a judge’s order in December 2019.” A spokesman for Singas asserted, ‘We continued to request that the identities of the witnesses be protected until we could be ready for trial.&#8221;

Witness Scheduled To Testify Against Alleged MS-13 Members Found Murdered. NY Officials Question Whether New Bail Reforms Laws Were Involved.

A member of the violent MS-13 gang who had been previously deported from the U.S. five times was found yet again in Toledo, Ohio.
Juan Carlos Alvarez-Robles, a wanted Mexican national, was found by U.S. Border Patrol agents after executing a federal arrest warrant, WTOL <a href="https://www.wtol.com/article/news/crime/us-border-patrol-arrests-ms-13-gang-member-in-toledo/512-a458d7cb-f946-423d-94bf-567ad9c767ec">reported</a>.
“Alvarez is suspected of numerous criminal activities in the Great Lakes region and has been removed from the United States five times previously,” the outlet reported. “He also has an extensive criminal history according to officials, including: possession of a controlled substance, transporting/selling of narcotics and grand theft auto as well as multiple accounts of theft and burglary.”
He was apprehended by agents with the Sandusky Bay Station, the Detroit Sector Special Operations Detachment, and the Toledo Drug Enforcement Administration Task Force and is currently being held by the U.S. Marshal Service, WTOL reported.
Brian McNeal, spokesman for the Drug Enforcement Administration Detroit Field Division, told WTOL: “MS-13 is one of the world’s largest gangs. Department of Justice estimates their membership to exceed 50,000 members with affiliates in several urban centers in the country including Northwest Ohio. Through law enforcement collaborations, MS-13 members continue to be arrested in order to keep our communities safe from drugs and the violence that is associated with drug trafficking.&#8221;
Throughout 2019, numerous members of MS-13 were arrested or convicted for murder across the U.S. In September, for example, The Daily Wire <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/ms-13-gang-members-arrested-murder-maryland-ashe-schow">reported</a> that six of the seven people arrested in Towson, Maryland, for murder that month were members of the violent gang – all in the country illegally. The seven arrested had targeted a man named Daniel Cueller because he allegedly flashed the hand sign of the rival 18th Street gang. The MS-13 members stalked Cueller to a laundromat, then followed him back to his apartment building and stabbed him to death, allegedly using a “machete-style knife.” Surveillance footage from the laundromat helped lead to the arrests of his killers.
More from The Daily Wire:
<blockquote>Maryland has been struggling with gang violence for some time. In July, four teenagers were arrested for beating 14-year-old Ariana Funes-Diaz to death. Two of the four were members of MS-13, who feared Funes-Diaz would tell police about a gang-related kidnapping two months earlier in Washington, D.C., WBAL reported.
At the end of August, an MS-13 gang member from Maryland was sentenced to 30 years in prison for racketeering and stabbing a rival gang member to death four years earlier, the Sun reported.
In April 2018, another MS-13 gang member from Gaithersburg, MD, was sentenced to 35 years in prison for the stabbing of a rival gang member three years earlier.</blockquote>
New York has also had trouble with MS-13. In September of last year, three members of the gang were arrested for the 2017 killing of a 16-year-old suspected of working with law enforcement. The murdered 16-year-old had been tasked with killing another low-level gang member who was suspected of warning a third low-level gang member that the leader wanted him dead. The murder victim apparently failed to kill his target and was then murdered by the leader of the gang.
