U.S. authorities have captured the MS-13 top leader for the U.S. East Coast, the FBI announced on Thursday.
Officials captured the 24-year-old suspect in Woodbridge, Virginia, just south of Washington, D.C. Authorities have yet to release the suspect’s name, but they say he is one of the top three leaders of the MS-13 gang in the U.S.
Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel monitored the arrest as it took place Thursday morning.
