(Worthy News) – President Donald Trump and Attorney General Bill Barr announced on Wednesday the takedown of key leadership of the MS-13 gang through the Joint Task Force Vulcan (JTFV), an initiative launched in August 2019 aimed at disrupting, dismantling, and ultimately, destroying MS-13.

“This week’s action by the Joint Task Force Vulcan is the most recent offense to — we really — this has been a big offensive in my administration’s war on foreign gangs, of which we came into this administration and we said, ‘What’s going on?’ We had gangs from countries that you wouldn’t believe. More than 20 of the criminals we indicted and arrested in the past seven days were illegal aliens,” Trump said.

“Yesterday, for the first time ever, the Eastern District of Virginia … indicted MS-13 leaders on charges of terrorism. So we have the MS-13 leader on charges of terrorism, and that’s a first. We’re using ‘terrorism,’ which gives us extra strength,” the president said. [ Source: CNS News (Read More…) ]
