Jeff Sessions Approves New Tools To Annihilate MS-13

Daily Caller

Attorney General Jeff Sessions officially designated the MS-13 gang as a priority threat Monday, allowing Department of Justice (DOJ) task forces to use every available law to bring down the international organization.

The new designation allows Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Forces to dismantle MS-13 using tax laws, drug laws, gun laws, and “anything else that will cripple the gang.” Sessions announced the change during a Monday speech to the International Association of Chiefs of Police, saying the new tools will go a long way to destroying the multi-national gang.

“Now they will go after MS-13 with a renewed vigor and a sharpened focus,” Sessions said. “Just like we took Al Capone off the streets with our tax laws, we will use whatever laws we have to get MS-13 off of our streets.”

This comes as the most recent effort in a string of DOJ policies aimed at destroying MS-13. The DOJ announced Oct. 3 that nearly 3,800 gang members had been charged in an international operation involving law enforcement groups from the U.S., El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras.
