"The charges in this case reflect the Justice Department’s commitment to dismantling and disrupting MS-13, a criminal organization that sows violence, terror, and fear in communities across the country," Attorney General Merrick B. Garland said in a press statement. "We will continue to work closely alongside our law enforcement partners to root out criminal organizations wherever they exist and break the cycles of violence that they perpetuate.

"This indictment is a testament to the strong partnerships we have with our federal and local agencies to help bring violent gang offenders to justice," Houston Police Chief Troy Finner said in a press statement.
"As demonstrated by the allegations in the indictment, transnational criminal street gangs like MS-13 are a plague upon society that must be rooted out in the interest of public safety and national security," added Special Agent in Charge Mark Dawson of Homeland Security Investigations Houston.
