MS-13 Fugitive Taken Into Custody In Maryland And Faces Charges

US Customs and Border Protection agents apprehended Luis Antonio Garcia Garcia, an MS-13 fugitive originally wanted by El Salvador authorities, during an operation in Maryland. On Tuesday,

Garcia, known as “El Shaggy” inside MS-13, escaped to the United States after being charged in El Salvador with aggravated homicide and membership in an unlawful group following an April 2008 shooting. Salvadoran authorities believe that he shot a man multiple times, resulting in the victim’s death.

ICE’s Enforcement and Removal Operations in Hyattsville, Maryland, previously arrested Garcia in the United States in January 2015. In August 2015, he was deported to El Salvador after serving a 12-month term in Washington, D.C. for drug offenses such as attempted distribution and possession with intent to distribute cocaine.

Garcia was detained and is now facing legal ramifications under the present administration.
