They've turned up in my county. There was recently a murder of a young woman who was believed to be from a rival gang. On the promise of going to a party, she got into the car with 5 MS 13 members and was taken into the woods and executed. Two of the gang members, one of whom was the leader of the local clique responsible, pled guilty and will be sentenced next month.
This gang seems to be an incredible problem throughout the country. Most of them, I'm sure, came to the US illegally but there doesn't seem to be anything officials can do about getting them deported. It's a shame that they are able to terrorize and control territories in this country while our government spends billions of dollars fighting a "war on terrorism" a half a world away.

P.S. My apologies in advance for not taking this to the Politics forum.
