MS-13: America's most dangerous street gang? (CNN)

President Donald Trump’s administration is deporting so many MS-13 gang members that officials in Central America have recently held emergency meetings to address the issue.

According to a Washington Post report, officials in El Salvador are growing increasingly worried over the number of MS-13 gang members returning from the U.S. They worry that a large increase of violent gang members in the streets could intensify El Salvador’s established problem with violent crime.

Citing Salvadorian government statistics, the Post reports that nearly 400 gang members have been deported to El Salvador in the first five months of Trump’s administration, compared to just 534 last year under former President Barack Obama.

In response, Salvadorian politicians have proposed new legislation to monitor and track the returning gang members.

“If gang members return, of course, this worries us,” he said.
