Tuesday, MS-13 gang member Joel Martinez was sentenced to 40 years in prison for the murder of a 15 year-old boy from a rival gang.
The Boston Globe reported on May 14 that Martinez "was captured on video bragging about the slaying." The Globe also noted that the killer's nickname ia the singular version of the word President Donald Trump used two days later to describe MS-13 members.
In its story on Martinez's sentencing, the Associated Press violated its own Stylebook rules when it failed to note that Martinez is in the U.S. illegally.
