A recent study conducted by the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) on MS-13 criminal arrests shows a surge of the gang's activity specifically in areas subject to sanctuary policies and large numbers of resettled unaccompanied alien children (UACs). According to the report, 506 MS-13 members were charged with or arrested for crimes, including 207 arrests for murder in 22 states, with 92 cases in California, 84 in Maryland, 80 in New York, and 63 in Virginia -- all states that have resettled a large number of UACs.
Since 2012, the federal government has resettled 300,000 minors and families from Central America, resulting in an influx of UACs. This increased number of UACs has supplied the gang with tens of thousands of new recruits, as young as 10 years old.
