The Senate confirmed Kash Patel as the new FBI director, and Mexico arrested and handed over alleged MS-13 gang leader Francisco Javier Román-Bardales to the U.S. The arrest was a result of international cooperation, and Román-Bardales is wanted for various crimes related to MS-13 activities in the U.S., Mexico, and El Salvador. The MS-13 gang, designated as a foreign terrorist group by the State Department, originated in Los Angeles and has since spread to Central America, recruiting members and spreading violence in multiple countries. The recent extradition of Román-Bardales and other gang members is part of ongoing efforts to combat organized crime and improve border security. President Trump has also deported Venezuelan immigrants and threatened tariffs on Mexican goods in exchange for better cooperation on drug enforcement. Román-Bardales, known as “El Veterano de Tribus,” was wanted for his involvement in violent acts, extortion, and drug distribution. The extradition of Román-Bardales highlights the coordinated efforts of international law enforcement agencies to combat transnational criminal organizations like MS-13.
