Joel Vargas-Escobar, a fugitive alleged leader of the MS-13 'Parkview' clique, was arrested in New York after four years on the run. Charged with orchestrating 11 murders, he faces charges including racketeering and gun offenses linked to gang activities primarily in Nevada and California. The Justice Department aims to prosecute him alongside his co-defendants, reflecting a commitment to dismantling criminal organizations. Attorney General Pam Bondi emphasized the government's determination to confront illegal immigration and gang violence amid ongoing anti-crime initiatives under the Trump administration.
This terrorist entered our country illegally and is accused of orchestrating 11 murders - under President Trump's leadership, we will not rest until this terrorist organization is completely dismantled and its members are behind bars.
Prosecutors are seeking to put him on trial with three co-defendants, who are all alleged members of the gang, according to court documents.
