Henriquez, et al., a grand jury in the Eastern District of New York previously indicted 14 members of the\u00a0<em>Ranfla Nacional<\/em>, who functioned as MS-13\u2019s \u201cBoard of Directors.\u201d\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">As further alleged, the defendants have engaged in a litany of violent terrorist activities aimed at influencing the government of El Salvador policy and to obtain benefits and concessions from El Salvado; targeting El Salvado law enforcement and military officials; employing terrorist tactics such as the use of Improvised Explosive Devices (\u201cIEDs\u201d) and grenades.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">Also, allegedly operating military-style training camps for firearms and explosives; using public displays of violence to intimidate civilian

font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">Several of these defendants have played prominent roles in MS-13\u2019s past and current negotiations with the government of El Salvador, officials stated.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">Further, these defendants authorized and directed violence in the United States, Mexico, and elsewhere to expand MS-13\u2019s influence and territorial control. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">\u00a0The MS-13 cliques in the United States engaged in extreme violence, including countless murders, attempted murders, assaults, and related offenses. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">For example, this Office\u2019s Long Island Criminal Division has prosecuted hundreds of MS-13

font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">Several of these Defendants, including Arevalo-Chavez, Hernandez-Rivera, and Menjivar-Portillo, coordinated MS-13\u2019s expansion into Mexico (the Mexico Program), at the direction of the\u00a0<em>Ranfla Nacional<\/em>, which was a coordinated effort to maintain MS-13\u2019s continuity of operations in response to law enforcement pressure previously exerted by the United States and the government of El Salvador.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"> <img

\/>Additionally, the Mexico Program included forging alliances with Mexican cartels and engaged in narcotics trafficking, immigrant smuggling and extortion, kidnappings, and weapons trafficking. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">As alleged in the indictment, the MS-13\u2019s Mexico Program murdered some

style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">Finally, drug trafficking was an important part of MS-13\u2019s money-making operation,
