DHS: ICE Arrested 131 Gang-Affiliated People in One Week, Including 22 MS-13 and 13 Tren de Aragua Members
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested 131 gang-affiliated people between October 4 and October 10, including 22 affiliated with MS-13 and 13 with the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua, according to a statement the Department of Homeland Security provided to Fox News Digital. DHS said ICE has made 12,018 gang-related arrests since President Donald Trump returned to office in 2025.
Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin said in the statement: 'In less than a week, the brave patriots of ICE have arrested more than 100 gang members across the country, including members of MS-13 and Tren de Aragua. Arresting and deporting illegal aliens, especially gang members, is how we make America safe again.'
Among those arrested, DHS said, was Gustavo Adolfo Flores-Ramirez, a Salvadoran national whom the department identified as an MS-13 member. He was arrested in Las Vegas and is wanted in El Salvador for aggravated homicide, aggravated femicide, rape of a minor or incapacitated person, illegal handling or possession of firearms, illicit grouping and crimes involving public peace, according to DHS. The department said he was arrested in the United States in September 2021 and deported to Mexico, and later reentered the country illegally at an unknown date.
The figures and case details are from DHS's weekly enforcement summary; gang affiliations are ultimately determined through judicial proceedings. (GSM, based on reporting by Fox News and the New York Post)
