The violent street gang MS-13 is terrorizing a neighborhood seven miles from the White House, according to a Wednesday report in The Washington Post.
The gang has been linked to strings of murders in Boston, northern Virginia, Houston, and Long Island, where MS-13 has been tied to more than a dozen killings, the Post reported.
Most of the gang’s victims are undocumented immigrants, not Americans, and they use extortion and intimidation to enforce their will.
“They are preying on the communities that they are living in,” said Michael McElhenny, an FBI special agent in Maryland, according to the report.
