Members of the notorious criminal gang MS-13 say President Trump’s immigration crackdown has been helping them—because witnesses are afraid of being deported if they talk to police, they told CNN. Trump will visit New York’s Long Island on Friday to discuss plans to wipe out the predominately El Salvadorian gang. While MS-13 has existed in the U.S. for decades, the FBI says it continues to grow and that violence in the last two years has increased significantly.
