Sources tell Fox News that over 100 gang members from El Salvador have been apprehended at the U.S. border since October.
Last week alone, nearly 400 migrants were apprehended trying to cross into the United States and on Monday, more than 100 were caught scaling the border wall in Arizona.
Since the shutdown began, border officials in the Rio Grande Valley Border Patrol Sector in Texas have arrested over 14,000 illegal immigrants and confiscated over 14,000 pounds of marijuana and 800 pounds of cocaine, border patrol sources told Fox News.
Since October, authorities have also arrested more than 100 people believed to be El Salvadorian gang members in the same sector, the same sources added. The notorious MS-13 gang that originated in Los Angeles prisons before infiltrating the rest of the U.S. is mainly comprised of El Salvadorans.
