The Federal Bureau of Intelligence, FBI, has announced the arrest of the ‘top leader’ of MS-13 in the US East Coast.
Officials captured the 24-year-old suspect in Woodbridge, Virginia, just south of Washington, DC.
Fox News reports that authorities are yet to release the suspect’s name.
However, FBI said that the suspect is one of the top three leaders of the MS-13 gang in the US.
Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel watched the arrest unfold from a nearby tactical operations center.
Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche and senior DOJ official Emil Bove were also present.
“They executed a clean, safe operation and the bad guys in custody. And thanks to the FBI, we got one of the worst of the worst of the MS-13 off the streets this morning. Virginia and the country is a lot safer today,” Bondi told Fox News following the arrest.
The operation included FBI operatives and personnel of the Prince William County Police Department, ATF, ICE, and the Virginia State Police.
