🚨MS-13 MEMBER ARRESTED🚨
Earlier this year this visa overstay was arrested and charged with DUI. He is also wanted in #ElSalvador for gang-affiliated activity as an MS-13 member. #ElCentroSector agents coordinated with our #ERO partners in New York to locate and arrest this illegal alien.
The distance was no obstacle, and neither is our commitment to removing illegal aliens from our communities.
