Operation Matador is a joint law enforcement initiative that uses the resources of ICE Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO), Customs and Border Protection (CBP), and local police departments to target MS-13 gang activity in the New York City metropolitan area.
A recent ICE press release announced that since May 2017, Operation Matador has led to the arrest of 475 gang members and associates. The operation specifically targeted MS-13, but 15 of those arrested are members of MS-13's primary rival, the 18th Street Gang.
