How the MS-13 gang flourishes seven blocks from the White House

Michael E. Miller and Dan Morse report for the Washington Post on how

MS-13 menaces a community seven miles from the White House.

It took Abigail Bautista less than a month of living in Langley Park to learn that her new neighborhood in Maryland had its own set of laws, written not in statutes but in gang graffiti and blood.

...She had heard of the international street gang growing up in Central America, where MS-13, as it’s known, controls cities through brutality and corruption. But she had lived for the better part of a decade in the United States without crossing its path.

Now, she realized, she’d unwittingly moved into MS-13 territory a mere seven miles from the White House.

...most of the gang’s victims are not Americans but undocumented immigrants like Bautista. And when it comes to the gang’s infamous motto of “kill, rape, control,” it’s the third — enforced daily through extortion and intimidation — that defines life for some immigrants in places such as Langley Park.

...most of the gang’s victims are not Americans but undocumented immigrants like Bautista. And when it comes to the gang’s infamous motto of “kill, rape, control,” it’s the third — enforced daily through extortion and intimidation — that defines life for some immigrants in places such as Langley Park.

...But by the time Bautista arrived five years ago, MS-13 was on the rebound, fueled by fresh recruits from an unprecedented wave of almost 200,000 unaccompanied minors from El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras.

...The recruits became Bautista’s tormentors. Every Friday, a young gang member would find her pushing her cart full of shoes and clothes. She was given street names of MS-13 members to use as passwords so other cliques, or factions, of MS-13 would leave her alone. Bautista, who worked as a maid at a hotel until she was fired for being undocumented, said she had no choice but to pay the gang.

Street vendors such as Bautista are part of a vast underground economy in Langley Park. Some undocumented families raise chickens in illicit coops in their kitchens. People often sublet parts of their apartments, cordoning areas off with sheets.

When Prince George’s County cracked down on food trucks in the neighborhood 10 years ago, many simply moved their businesses inside the apartment buildings. These illegal establishments are prime targets for extortion by MS-13, according to police. As soon as the gang learns of them, members demand money and threaten violence.

MS-13’s prostitution and drug operations in Langley Park are also profitable.

We need screwdriver control

Fox 31 in Denver reports,

An MS-13 gang member wanted for murder was arrested in Colorado on Friday after he allegedly stabbed a woman with a screwdriver and ran over her leg, police said.

Alex Ramos, 36, an illegal immigrant who was previously deported from the U.S., was taken into custody without incident Friday morning, FOX31 Denver reported.

Three men in the US illegally commit gruesome murder

Jason Kessler reports at The Daily Caller,

A 17-year-old boy’s body was mutilated by MS-13 gang members, the boy’s uncle revealed in a local radio interview on Friday.

Raymond Wood’s uncle, Dale Wood, told local station WLNI that his nephew’s body had been savaged by his murderers.

“His hands were cut off, his throat was cut, his tongue was pulled into his throat, he was stabbed 16 times, ran over 3 times,” Dale Wood told the station.

The gruesome mutilation in which a victim’s tongue is sliced and pulled through his neck is sometimes known as a “Colombian necktie.”

“How do you do that to a child?” Dale Wood wondered aloud. “How do you do that to anybody? It’s just, unbelievable. It’s definitely not human.”

“These are monsters,” he said.

The story emerging from last week’s murder in Lynchburg, Virginia is, in a word, ghastly.

On March 28th, police found Wood’s body miles away from his home lying face down in the middle of Roaring Run Road in nearby Bedford County.

On Friday, The Roanoke Times reports, police charged three illegal immigrants with Wood’s death — 21-year-old José Corea-Ventura, 19-year-old Victor Arnoldo Rodas, and 24-year-old Lisandro Posada-Vazquez. The men were determined to be illegal by the Bedford County Sheriff’s Office, detained, and subsequently arrested by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

Corea-Ventura was arrested in connection to a separate gang-related murder in Montgomery County, Maryland, where a male victim was stabbed 40 times with a knife. Evidently, Corea-Ventura had been hiding from authorities since July, and ended up in Bedford County, Virginia. A few days ago, this reporter linked Corea-Ventura to the murder. That fact was then confirmed by Bedford County Sheriff Mike Brown, who also revealed that Wood’s murder was “narcotic-related” and that all three men are in the United States illegally.

The gruesome details of Wood’s murder were originally published, and then subsequently deleted, by WLNI in Lynchburg.

The original piece — “Raymond Wood’s uncle confirms details of nephew’s death: hands cut off, throat cut, multiple stabbings” — was taken down and replaced with a note that WLNI had removed the story “to honor a grieving family’s wishes.”

WLNI did not retract its reporting.
