November 2022, video purporting to show systematic destruction of monuments (including on graves and headstones) to MS-13. ref> https://www.reddit.com/r/interestingasfuck/comments/yp9w94/el_salvadors_fight_against_gangs_takes_a_new_turn/</ref> Maybe too new, but this seems like it might be a significant cultural action.
Salvatrucha also has the colloquial term trucha in it. Which in cholo slang means look out. Salvatrucha is a portmanteau of salvadorian and A Look out(someone watching out for cops etc.). Thanks for your time!
The rise in violence has hit especially hard on Long Island and in Boston, Houston and the D.C. area, with authorities linking dozens of killings to the gang. MS-13's new push has been fueled by the recent influx of teenage immigrants like Danny, who traveled to the United States without guardians to escape poverty and gang violence only to fall back into it here, according to a Washington Post investigation that included reviews of dozens of court cases as well as interviews with local and federal law enforcement, attorneys, families and immigration experts.

This internal migration has coincided with a spike in the number of UACs arriving
in the United States. Many of these UACs have settled in areas where the MS13 has
a presence, and a significant number have been charged with crimes in or near the
areas where they settled. (Jouvenal, 2017) Law enforcement experts consulted by
InSight Crime said they believed there was coordination – from the top down – to
There is no evidence that gangs determine or finance international migration.
InSight Crime and CLALS / MS13 in the Americas 61 position these migrants. Some experts even said the migrants were “coached” by the
leaders, so they could successfully get past US immigration officials

Hi, requested addition to MS-13 gang criminal activity :
Human sex trafficking of women
Reference: I happened to meet a Texas Game Warden pulled off his state duties to help Federal Agents like the Border Patrol or other such agents !along the border. Many tragic things but in particular was human trafficking. This included finding womens' bodies left in desert as I recall.
But in particular. he said while he could not give details for security reasons, they had just raided an MS-13 gang who were holding women in cages.
I am a free Lance writer writing a promo piece for new movie Sound of Freedom, an action drama based on true story of Tim Ballard who has dedicated his life to rescuing sexually trafficked children as young as 3 - 5 years. Far more serious than most people realize. Thanks! Aleithia888 ( talk) 13:32, 12 July 2023 (UTC)

In "Publicized Crimes > Cases", the article states:
In 2011, the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in New Haven, Connecticut, was vandalized several times with the "MS-13 tag" and "kill whites" in orange spray paint.[150]
All web search results for this claim go to links copying the Wikipedia page. The linked citation goes to a family guy clip about Peter Griffin joining a gang on a make-your-own newsfeed site. This is obviously vandalism, and should be removed. Tttttag ( talk) 22:53, 31 January 2024 (UTC)
Actually, on further research, it seems that this event did happen. The citation should still be changed to not a family guy clip. Also, the event happened in 2008 and not 2011. https://www.newhavenindependent.org/article/vietnam_memorial_defaced_again — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tttttag ( talk • contribs) 23:02, 31 January 2024 (UTC)
