WOODBRIDGE, VA — Congressman Eugene Vindman (Va.-07) today released the following statement after a top MS-13 leader was arrested in Virginia’s Seventh District.
“Today’s arrest of a top MS-13 leader is a major win for public safety — and a reminder of the real threats that violent gangs pose to our communities. MS-13 is responsible for brutal crimes, drug trafficking, and human exploitation across the United States.
“As a former prosecutor, I’m especially grateful to the Prince William County Police Department, the Virginia State Police, and all our federal and local law enforcement partners who work together every day to keep our communities safe.
“The urgency to get violent criminals off our streets is exactly why I voted for bipartisan legislation to give law enforcement the tools they need to protect Virginians. I will always support those who put their lives on the line to protect our families.
“Virginia’s Seventh District — and our country — is safer today.”
