The Department of Justice announced murder and kidnapping charges for eleven MS-13 gang members in Alexandria, Virginia Friday morning. All of them are from El Salvador, range in age from 20 to 27-years old and are being prosecuted for the killing of teenagers Edvin Escobar Mendez and Sergio Arita Triminio.

One of the defendants is not in custody and suspected of being out of the country. The other ten are being held in federal detention. Whether the members are in the U.S. illegally is unclear. 

"While we note in the press release that all of the defendants are from El Salvador, we did not include any information as to their immigration status," U.S. Attorney’s Office Director of Communications for the Eastern District of Virginia Joshua Stueve tells Townhall. 

From DOJ:

According to allegations in the indictment, in August 2016, Elmer Zelaya Martinez, Erick Palacios Ruiz, Ronald Herrera Contreras, and Josue Vigil Mejia conspired together and with others to lure a 17 year-old male [Mendez], who they suspected was a member of a rival gang, to a park in Fairfax County, Virginia, in order to attack and kill him. After killing him and to conceal evidence linking them to the juvenile’s disappearance and murder, these four defendants and their co-conspirators buried the juvenile’s remains.

The indictment further alleges that in September 2016, Elmer Zelaya Martinez, Erick Palacios Ruiz, Ronald Herrera Contreras, Henry Zelaya Martinez, Oscar Contreras Aguilar, Yonathan Melgar Martinez, Pablo Miguel Barrera Velasco, Anderson Villatoro, Francisco Avila Avalos, and Fredys Baires Abarca conspired together and with others to lure a 14 year-old male [Triminio] to the same park in Fairfax County where he was attacked and killed because he was thought to be cooperating with law enforcement. This juvenile’s remains were also buried.

Each of the following members face life in prison if convicted.

The charges are part of the Justice Department's ongoing crackdown on the violent, transnational gang. Prosecutors are seeking DOJ approval to charge death eligible offenses.

Levin Unloads on Immigration: Dems, Media Propagandists, RINOs ‘Incentivizing Lawlessness, Chaos’

On his Facebook and Twitterpages Thursday morning, nationally syndicated radio talk show host, Fox News Channel “Life, Liberty & Levin” host, author and American lawyer Mark Levin unloaded on immigration, suggesting that Democrats, their media propagandists and RINOs “are incentivizing lawlessness, chaos, and the human misery that comes with it” in demanding amnesty and refusing to secure the southern border.

“By demanding amnesty and refusing to secure the southern border, the open borders Democrats and their propagandists, joined by RINOs, are incentivizing lawlessness, chaos, and the human misery that comes with it,” stated Mark Levin on Twitter and his Facebook page.

Mark Levin’s comments came after President Donald J. Trump signed an executive order halting family separation at the border on Wednesday. As reported by CNSNews.com, Trump said the following before signing the executive order, titled “Affording Congress an Opportunity to Address Family Separation”: “We're signing an executive order I consider to be a very important executive order. It's about keeping families together while at the same time making sure that we have a very powerful, very strong border, and border security will be equal, if not greater than previously.”

President Trump’s signing of the executive order, however, “wasn’t enough” for the liberal media, reported Newsbusters’ Nicholas Fondacaro, as “[t]he liberal broadcast networks of ABC, CBS, and NBC dedicated another 89 minutes of airtime to the issue on Wednesday alone.”

Levin opened his social media comments ripping Democrats and media on the U.S. “zero-tolerance” immigration policy, saying, “The open borders Democrats and media policy: if you’re an alien adult and come to our country illegally with a child, you’re welcome here.”

Turning to previous administrative actions, Levin then detailed a bit of the history behind U.S. immigration policy.

“It was the Clinton administration that settled a lawsuit in 1997 resulting in the release from detention of illegal alien kids in 20 days, thereby separating them from the adults who are being processed through the immigration system,” tweeted Levin.

Levin continued in another tweet: “It is the Obama administration that schizophrenically separated from adults and detained some illegal alien minors, but also allowing illegal alien adults and children accompanying them into the country without upholding immigration law.”
