News From the Border

Providing the news from a different front but from a war that we must win as well! I recognize the poverty and desperate conditions that many Latinos live in. We, as the USA, have a responsibility to do as much as we can to reach out to aid and assist spiritually with the Gospel and naturally with training, technology and resources. But poverty gives no one the right to break the laws of another sovereign nation.

LOS ANGELES – Stepping up its effort to combat Hispanic gang violence in the U.S., the FBI has opened an office in El Salvador, where it is targeting two notorious groups wreaking havoc on American soil.

The Transnational Anti-Gang Center, or TAC, is assisting in the development of international anti-gang cases, with a particular focus on the18th Street gang and MS-13, says Robert B. Loosle, special agent in charge of the criminal division in the FBI's Los Angeles Field Office.

As WND reported, the FBI agent told an international anti-gang conference in El Salvador in April that the 18th Street gang now operates in 37 U.S. states while MS-13 is in 44. Both also are in Central America.
