The US Attorney's office reports Carlos Geovanni Martinez-Aguilar, 38, was sentenced to three years in federal prison this week after admitting he came back to the US after being deported.
Martinez-Aguilar, who helped set up MS-13 in the Boston area and who was active on the North Shore, was booted from the US in 2003 after being convicted of unarmed robbery, the US Attorney's office reports. Two years later, however, he was arrested in Lawrence on armed-robbery charges, but posted bail and fled before police realized he'd given them a fake name.
Federal authorities eventually tracked him to the Dallas area, where he was arrested last fall.

When Trump builds a YUGE wall between us and El Salvador MS-13 will cease to exist.

I've heard Salvadorans are his least favorite Mexicans.

It's called the United States border patrol. Now how this guy got past them, I'd like to know.
You'd like to know what?

You'd like to know how a single traveler eluded the border patrol crossing somewhere over our 1,989 miles of US/Mexico border, our 1,538 miles of US/Canada border, or our approximately 5,000 miles of coastline?

Oh no, I totally believe that somebody was able to breach the border. Which leads me to my preferred rhetoric du jour: We don't have an immigration problem, we have an emigration problem.
The border is secure enough to keep most undesirables out. That's not the problem. The problem is that we did such a lazy job of kicking this guy out of civilized America, he waltzed right back in.
And your coastline argument matters little. They're not sailing all the way to Old Orchard Beach to sneak in, and the Coast Guard has the important parts on lock.
Nice..

Now he can run the operations from jail, surrounded by his gang. 3 hots and a cot. Good for him!
