'These aren't people. These are animals.'

For 15 years, the girls lived parallel lives. Left behind in El Salvador by mothers bound for the United States, they grew up a few miles apart in San Vicente, entering adolescence just as the city sank into gang violence.

They fled within weeks of one another, traveling north in 2014 along the same smuggling route before ending up in the Washington suburbs.

It was there that Venus Romero Iraheta and Damaris Reyes Rivas finally met, after becoming entangled in the same violent street gang, MS-13. And it was there, in a wooded park in Springfield, Va., that Venus stabbed Damaris 13 times.

Even amid a nationwide surge in MS-13 slayings, the 2017 killing stood out. Female victims are nothing new for MS-13, which is infamous in Central America for making young women choose between rape and execution. But in a gang as chauvinistic as it is fearsome, female killers are almost unheard of.

As Iraheta, now 18, awaits sentencing for murder later this month, authorities say the killing may be a sign of growing female involvement in MS-13 in the United States.

Unlike their counterparts in Central America, some MS-13 cliques in the United States now allow female members, said Michael Prado, assistant special agent in charge of the Washington office of Homeland Security Investigations, a branch of Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

“In that regard they are somewhat progressive,” he said. “The [cliques] here are a little bit more, for lack of a better term, Americanized.”

In response, ICE has begun instructing its agents to scrutinize girls and young women as closely as males for MS-13 involvement, Prado said.

“There are female MS-13 members engaged in some extremely heinous and violent activity,” he added.

Some turn to MS-13 to escape poverty, homelessness or sexual abuse, only to be prostituted by the gang, immigration advocates say. Others are attracted to its reputation — often invoked by President Trump — as the most dangerous gang in the world.

STFU! Racist white men are killing more people in America than anyone.

Your opinion piece doesn't prove shit.
 
Racist white men are cowards. They use code words like MS 13, but can't speak their truth. If you mofo are so bad ass, say what you really mean and stop using code words. Tell a Mexican to his face he's an animal.

MS-13 gang member bragged about killing teen

Joel "Animal" Martinez, 23, gleefully described the fatal stabbing of a 15-year-old rival gang member in Chelsea, Massachusetts, just across the river from Boston, according to audio and video from federal authorities.

The member of international crime gang MS-13 didn’t know he was talking to a cooperating witness when he detailed Irvin Javier de Paz Castro’s final moments. “I stabbed the a**h*** three times, and it was a beautiful thing! Just beautiful,” Martinez said, an FBI transcript shows.

Martinez told the witness, identified in court documents as CW-1, that the victim asked Martinez if he was going to kill him, to which Martinez responded “f*****g yes,” documents show. He then details how de Paz Castro tried to flee after Martinez stabbed him, running a “short distance” before falling. Martinez caught up to him and “finished him off,” court documents said.

A horrific gang killing in Woodbridge involving a victim who was found inside his burning car took a shocking turn Wednesday. Santos Arquimidis Sorto Amaya was just leaving his home to go to work when four MS-13 members abducted him, shot him and then put his body in his own car and set it on fire at Veterans Park, police said.

By all accounts, Sorto Amaya, 25, was a hard worker. His family called him Qui-mee. He immigrated from El Salvador to work in construction for his uncle, Rosaly Alfaro.

"I loved my nephew like he was my son. Most of the time when he was in the United States he spent the time with me in my house with my kids and my wife. He was such a good guy, which has been a big loss to us," said Alfaro.

Sorto Amaya rented a townhouse on Anderson Court in Woodbridge with some roommates and always left for work early.

On March 13, he was seen leaving as usual. But then, right in front of his townhouse, Prince William County Police said he was abducted by four suspects, who then shot him multiple times. At some point, they put his body in the trunk of his own car and drove it to Veterans Park where they set it on fire two days after they killed him.

"He was a really, really nice person. We cannot believe that this happened to him. It's just horrible," said Alfaro.

Sorto Amaya's mother, brothers, sisters and six-year-old daughter still live in El Salvador. His uncle said Sorto Amaya came to Virginia to make money for his family. He says his nephew never had anything to do with gangs or violence and spent much of his free time at church.

The suspects all are part of MS-13, a Salvadoran gang that began in Los Angeles.

An MS-13 member pleaded guilty in federal court in Boston to racketeering conspiracy.

Jose Vasquez, a/k/a “Little Crazy,” 24, pleaded guilty to conspiracy to conduct enterprise affairs through a pattern of racketeering activity, more commonly referred to as RICO or racketeering conspiracy. U.S. District Court Judge F. Dennis Saylor IV scheduled sentencing for Aug. 30, 2018.

Vasquez was a member and local leader of the Trece Locos Salvatrucha or TLS clique of MS-13. Vasquez personally participated in racketeering activity on behalf of MS-13. Among other things, on Sept. 8, 2014, Vasquez and another MS-13 m

An MS-13 member who goes by the gang name “Animal” received a 40-year prison sentence this week for a conspiracy that included the murder of a 15-year-old boy, the U.S. attorney’s office in Massachusetts said Tuesday.

The nickname, which the prosecutors highlighted in the headline of a press release, is particularly telling, coming just a week after President Trump called members of the violent, immigrant-fueled MS-13 gang “animals.”

Joel Martinez, 23, admitted he murdered the 15-year-old as part of his initiation as a “homeboy” in Mara Salvatrucha, the gang’s full name.

“I stabbed the culero three times,” Mr. Martinez said, according to prosecutors. “He stared at me and he asked me if I was going to, if I was going to stab him. I told him, ‘Yes, the Mara rules you.’”
