U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrested two individuals linked to the MS-13 gang in Omaha, Nebraska, on July 9, 2025. Among those detained was a high-ranking MS-13 member described as a kingpin, who is wanted in El Salvador for the aggravated homicide of five victims and is listed among the country's top 100 most wanted fugitives. The second individual arrested is also connected to MS-13 and reportedly has an INTERPOL notice for drug trafficking. Both men were living in the United States illegally. ICE officials emphasized their commitment to locating and deporting criminal illegal aliens. The arrests follow criticism that the Biden administration had previously allowed the kingpin to remain free in the U.S. despite his criminal background. The operation was part of a broader effort to dismantle MS-13 leadership within the U.S. and address violent crime linked to the gang.
