U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions specifically cited gang violence on Long Island as he called for enhanced border security and immigration reform.
At a meeting with law enforcement and other federal agencies, Sessions mentionedthe recent murders of four young men in Central Islip as well as other murders that are believed to be by MS-13 around the country.
“They are not content to simply ruin the lives of adults, MS-13 recruits in our high schools, our middle schools and even our elementary schools.”
He threatened to find gang members, devastate their networks, starve their revenue sources, deplete ranks and seize profits.
Sessions also called out sanctuary cities, saying they’re undermining the process and helping to harbor criminal immigrants.
President Trump tweeted early Tuesday morning about the gang MS-13, blaming the spread of the gang on illegal immigration.
