On Thursday, The Independent Journal Review posted an article about the arrest of Rene Saul Escobar Ochoa, an MS-13 gang member, in Omaha, Nebraska.
The article reports:
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents arrested the high-ranking MS-13 gang member in Omaha, Nebraska, according to the agency. The individual, whom the administration has yet to identify, is a Salvadoran illegal migrant wanted in his home country for the murder of five different people and listed as one of El Salvador’s “top 100 most wanted” criminals.
In addition to the aggravated homicide of five victims, the high-ranking gangbanger is accused of attempted aggravated homicide, deprivation of liberty and terrorist organization affiliation, according to ICE.
Arrested alongside the MS-13 kingpin was his associate, Rene Saul Escobar Ochoa, also a member of the gang and living in the U.S. unlawfully, according to the agency. Ochoa allegedly ordered fellow MS-13 members to carry out a number of crimes, including multiple homicides, drug trafficking, imprisonment and extortion.
The article concludes:
“When ICE agents move in to make an arrest, it is extremely important that the public not interfere,” ICE acting Director Todd Lyons stated. “The misinformation, and sometimes blatant lies, being spread around the country could result in someone stepping into a federal operation and suddenly finding themselves face-to-face with a killer who has nothing to lose.”
“Our ICE officers and agents are protecting your neighborhoods, even when you don’t know the threat is there, so either support them or get out of the way,” Lyons continued.
On July 4, nearly a dozen violent assailants, equipped with tactical gear and weapons, allegedly ambushed an ICE facility in Alvarado, Texas, resulting in one local police officer getting shot in the neck after they unloaded rounds of bullets at agents. On that same day, several rioters allegedly attacked federal agents at an ICE facility in Portland, Oregon.
Part of the violence we are seeing against ICE is the result of our government allowing Antifa and similar groups to engage in violent protests for years without consequences. How many people died in the summer of 2020? How many businesses were destroyed during that summer? How many people were actually charged with a crime? We are at a place now where the home-grown terrorists are attempting to prevent the deportation of the imported terrorists.
