Feds bring terrorism charges in latest MS-13 gang crackdown

 
“We believe the monsters who murder children should be put to death”

Federal authorities announced terrorism charges Wednesday against a leader of MS-13, continuing a nationwide crackdown against a notorious street gang that President Donald Trump described as “vile and evil.” 

An indictment unsealed in Virginia against Melgar Diaz marked the first time the Justice Department has brought terrorism charges against a member of MS-13. Attorney General William Barr described Diaz as “the person who would green-light assassinations” for the gang in the United States.

It was not immediately clear whether Diaz had a defense attorney who could comment on the charges.
