The Trump administration is ramping up efforts to eliminate MS-13 from the U.S., citing brutal crimes committed by the violent gang, including gang rape, murder, and machete attacks.
During a press briefing, White House Press Secretary emphasized the urgent need to remove MS-13 members, highlighting specific gruesome attacks:
- The gang rape and strangulation of a 20-year-old autistic woman in Maryland.
- The machete slaughter of four victims in a Long Island park.
“These are heinous acts of violence committed by criminals who have no place in our country,” she stated. “President Trump has made it clear that removing these individuals is a top priority to keep Americans safe.”
The administration has intensified deportations and criminal crackdowns on MS-13, working closely with ICE and federal law enforcement agencies.
While critics question aspects of the administration’s law enforcement strategies, supporters argue that the aggressive stance is necessary to protect American communities from violent crime.
