Federal authorities, in the presence of Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel, have arrested an alleged “major leader” for the East Coast of the MS-13 gang in Woodbridge, Virginia, not far south of Washington, D.C.
Henrry Josue Villatoro Santos, 24, is in the U.S. illegally from El Salvador. He is being called one of the “Top 3 members of the MS-13 gang.”
Federal agents are said to have found ammo, silencers/suppressors and weapons including a 9mm handgun and three additional firearms in Villatoro-Santos’ mother’s home, in his bedroom Thursday morning where the arrest took place.
Villatoro-Santos is currently charged as an undocumented immigrant in possession of a firearm.
Following the arrest, Bondi said, “They executed a clean, safe operation and the bad guy’s 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.”
President Trump posted on social media, “Great job by Pam Bondi, Kash Patel, Tom HOMAN, and Kristi N, on the capture of MS13 leader – A big deal!”
