The detainee, who federal authorities confirmed is a documented member of the violent MS-13 gang, came to California by way of El Salvador. He was arrested alongside five other men illegally entering the United States.<\/p>\n<p>The group of six included a Mexican national, a Honduran national, and three other Salvadorans. Border agents will process all six foreign nationals for removal from the United States.<\/p>\n<p>CBP San Diego sector chief patrol agent Aaron Heitke praised the work of his team for apprehending a documented gang member.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I\u2019m proud of the great work by our agents arresting this gang member,&#8221; said Heitke in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbp.gov\/newsroom\/local-media-release\/usbp-arrests-ms-13-gang-member#:~:text=CAMPO%2C%20Calif.,men%20near%20the%20border%20wall\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">press release<\/a>. &#8220;Their hard work keeps our neighborhoods safe.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Former attorney general Bill Barr <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/national-security\/barr-confirms-arrest-of-ms-13-leaders\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">identified<\/a>&nbsp;MS-13 as a top priority for the Justice Department given the gang\u2019s history of violent crimes, which include drug trafficking, murder, and weapons possession among their charges. A 2020 Justice Department report <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/national-security\/74-percent-of-ms-13-gang-members-charged-were-in-united-states-illegally\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">found<\/a>&nbsp;during the Trump administration 74 percent of criminally charged MS-13 members were in the United States illegally.<\/p>\n<p>The arrest marks only the latest in a surge of illegal immigration at the Mexican border, with some migrants having violent backgrounds. On Tuesday, federal authorities <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/national-security\/terror-suspects-caught-crossing-mexico-border\/\">announced<\/a> they caught two Yemeni terror suspects crossing the border but, shortly afterward, deleted their announcement without explanation. A CBP spokesman later cited insufficient vetting of the announcement as the reason for deletion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Federal authorities arrested an MS-13 gang member in California on Wednesday after he illegally crossed the U.S.-Mexico border.
