AG Sessions: 10,000 MS-13 Gang Members in USA; ‘We're Going After Them’

(CNSNews.com) – It's up to the State Department to designate MS-13 as a terrorist organization. But regardless of whether that happens, “We’re going after them,” Attorney General Jeff Sessions told Fox News’s Tucker Carlson Tuesday night.

Sessions said the nation’s top federal law enforcement officers held a meeting earlier on Tuesday to discuss ways of convicting and deporting those gang members who are in the U.S. illegally.

“We can devastate this gang. We’re going after them. We are not going to allow them to take over a block, a corner of our communities and terrorize people with this violence," Sessions said.

The attorney general said there are now some 10,000 members of the violent Salvadoran gang in 40 states.

“These are not geniuses,” Sessions said. “They are involved in the kind of activities that can be identified and they can be prosecuted.” He said with persistence, "we can devastate this organization, and that's going to be our goal.”

Gangs have been a problem since the dawn of time. They ain't going anywhere because of a little operation.

So what then, ya think we should just ignore them? Or perhaps try and stop them or slow them down? Deporting them, arresting them, creating special teams, hiring more folks for those teams... All good and all good towards helping eliminate them, IMO. But you seem to find a way to complain about everything, even when positive steps are being taken to try and eliminate bad things.

It's political. AG making a show because of immigration. Meanwhile the crips, kings, zetas, aryan bros, 18th Street, mongols, mex mafia etc etc etc all get passes right? Gangs are an economic issue.

So then when do they EVER fight back against gangs and such - to where you won't say it's political?

The others I can't speak for without research. I know there aren't getting a free pass, that's for sure. But I also can't say that they are going after any specifically like MS-13. But if political, why not just say they will be hiring people and making efforts to go after ALL of them? MS-13 is the most lethal, so why not start with them first?

We've been losing the fight since the beginning. New strategy needed. As long as there is severe economic struggle you can't fight your way to winning. Put a gang member in jail or deport him and another takes their place if the conditions in the community don't change. A holistic approach is needed.
