MANASSAS, Va. (AP) — U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi says the alleged leader of the MS-13 street gang on the East Coast has been arrested in Virginia. The 24-year-old man from El Salvador was described as one of MS-13’s top three leaders in the United States. Bondi said Thursday that it’s a major victory in the Trump administration’s effort to crack down on a gang that’s known for brutal violence and extortion. Henrry Josue Villatoro Santos was taken into custody on an outstanding administrative immigration warrant, and charged with illegal gun possession after agents found several firearms during the search of his home, according to court papers.
