MS-13 Gang Member arrested in New York City for reentry after deportation as he is convicted of murder, racketeering and other felony charges

New York City, NY: A 39-year-old Salvadoran national with a history of convictions for assault, driving under the influence, and murder in furtherance of racketeering was detained by Enforcement and Removal Operations in New York City.

Police from the Criminal Prosecutions Unit of ERO detained the ex-MS-13 gang member outside his Brentwood home after he illegally entered the country.

The person was brought before a U.S. magistrate judge after his arrest for readmission after deportation resulting from an egregious offense. While the matter is being further litigated, he is now being held by the United States Marshals Service.

In order to emphasize the dedication to protecting the residents of New York City from such dangers, ERO New York City Field Office Director Kenneth Genalo brought attention to the individual’s record of illegal entrances and major criminal convictions.

The individual in question has a history of unlawful reentry and criminal activity, which includes offenses such as a 2004 conviction for second-degree assault, a 2011 conviction for murder in aid of racketeering, and a 2024 conviction for driving while intoxicated, all of which led to their current arrest. A judge presiding over the immigration case had already ordered the removal of the Salvadoran national to El Salvador in 2014.

A person with a history of criminal convictions and unauthorized reentry poses continuous concerns, as demonstrated by the Suffolk County Police Department’s recent charge of driving while drunk and subsequent conviction. Efforts to enforce immigration rules and guarantee community safety are reflected in ERO New York City’s actions.
