Attorney General Jeff Sessions is further escalating the Trump administration's drive to eradicate the violent gang MS-13 by designating the group as a legitimate target for federal interagency task forces typically focused on drug trafficking and money laundering.
Speaking to police chiefs in Philadelphia Monday, Sessions announced that he's putting the El Salvador-based gang in the cross-hairs of the federal government's Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Forces—alliances that coordinate law enforcement agencies such as the Drug Enforcement Administration, the International Revenue Service, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms.
