Sixteen alleged members of a Central American gang were charged Thursday for a range of crimes—including murder, assault and racketeering—in connection with three brutal slayings that rocked Brentwood on Long Island last year.
The U.S. attorney’s office for the Eastern District of New York accused the alleged members of the MS-13 gang of killing two Brentwood High School students by beating them with a bat and attacking them with a machete in September. Prosecutors also alleged they stabbed and beat to death fellow gang member Jose Pena, also a Brentwood High School student, in June.
“These were terrible, heinous crimes,” U.S. Attorney Robert Capers said.
The 13 adult defendants’ ages range from 18 to 29. Some go by nicknames: “Muerte,” “Big Homie,” and “Smiley.” Three additional defendants are minors.
Prosecutors are considering the death penalty for some of the defendants. Most of the others could be sentenced to life in prison, if convicted.
Ten of the adult defendants are illegal immigrants, Mr. Capers said. He declined to say whether federal immigration agents had inquired about them.

I don't think we have the death penalty here in ny anymore. But yes, Mr trump does need to do something about these illegals. It's so ridiculous that we have to keep paying for these pieces of trash. However, we do not need any expensive wall because they will just go under it. What we do need is welfare taken away from them (and don't try to tell me that they get no welfare because you would be wrong if you said that), reform the anchor baby laws and bring in an everify system and also bringing back the draft would help too and watch them all jump back over the border. So no need for an expensive wall at all!
But "diversity" is our strength!
These misunderstood individuals are just doing the jobs that Americans refuse to do...
Three additional defendants are minors - Some of the "helpless" children fleeing from Honduran violence we heard so much about in the prior administration?
NYS doesn't have the death penalty but the feds still do.
Of course there are exceptions but data points to undocumented immigrants committing less crime then documented immigrants. The Cato (not a liberal group) agrees.
For this to be an equal argument you need to determine home many crimes undocumented immigrants stopped and/or how many people undocumented immigrants helped than find the difference.
If undocumented people saved 100 lives and one undocumented person took 1 life then then we have 99 lives saved verses 101 lives lost without undocumented people.
People are too emotional about solving this issue. Stick to the math and do what the numbers say.

Couldn't help but noticing that when Ch7 covered this story they failed to report that 10 of the 13 adult defendants were illegal immigrants. These savages who beat, stabbed and hacked the teen-agers to death are the kind of people our Mayor is trying to protect. Do you think he is somewhat misguided?
Doesn't change the fact that the US has a serious problem with radical white supremacists right now, who frankly all need to be shot in the head.
Sure, we don't have an "illegal immigrant" problem, that is all made up. I mean that is what the elected officials in NYC and Queens keep saying.
Liars to the right of me, liars to the left of me.
I guess you guys are unaware that MS-13 is a gang that started in Los Angeles.
Funny you mention the libertarian Cato institute that's been trying to justify open borders for the last 20-30 years (open flow of labor is a tenant of libertarian and neo-liberal ideology, more labor = lower wages)
To the last anon, you are truly an asshole. Of course we have "white suprematists " that we need to deal with.. But that does not mean that we should be abliged to take in more subhuman scum from other parts of the world. When we fix all of our own homegrown shit bags then maybe we can start a discussion about letting some new third world scum in. But for now we have enough criminals you shit head.

sounds like the mayor's troll
what a load of crap
just as the news doesn't mention when illegals commit crimes
almost immediately, before facts are in the news says its white supremacists or some other right wing nut - you never hear the correction
all we heard this week was right wing antisemitic nuts were threatening Jewish Centers.
guess what?
The idiot is a black left wing Socialist Bernie Sanders LOVER here's the story
this will go away real quick and you will never hear about it again
it don't fit their narrative
as Mika Brzezinski says "Our Job" Is To "Control Exactly What People Think"
"If undocumented people saved 100 lives and one undocumented person took 1 life then then we have 99 lives saved verses 101 lives lost without undocumented people."... Hey Troll, undocumented (illegals) don't save any lives. Illegals avoid the cops like the plague despite what the Mayor's Police commissioner says. I seriously doubt that illegals have saved any lives. Any crimes committed by an illegal, especially one that has previously been arrested, is a crime that never should have occurred in the first place. Grow up.

Really? You piece of shit.
Tell that to the innocent inner city folks, like the ones in Chicago.
You mentally disturbed garbage.
Go look for the russian hacking evidence asshole.
and the illegal immigrants are all such victims. you Americans are so evil....
Wow, the CATO institute? You mean the folks who stopped New Yorkers from getting an extension on the Unemployment Insurance benefits who were forced out of their jobs by 9/11? and 9/11 was commandeered by immigrants who lived in the USA.
Looks like the Colombian and South American Narco terrorists are bankrolling the CATO institute.
No doubt that these lowlife gangbangers deserve to be locked up or even sent out of here by catapult. But the problem with this as the nation seen in the last month is the execution of these fishnet style detainings, which is a heavy distraction from what Figurehead Trump and his pluto-cabinet are doing to heavily enrich themselves with their financial ties from all the deregulating and dismantling of environmental and banking laws. And of course with their warped attempt at ending the ACA without a proper or better replacement for it, and equally warped plans to end Medicaid.
All of what Don Worthless and the syncophantic spineless and greedy bastards in Congress are doing is waging war on Americans and those striving to be Americans themselves.
Of course, these immigrants made it hard because they never found the time to become naturalized citizens.
"I guess you guys are unaware that MS-13 is a gang that started in Los Angeles."
Entry into MS-13 requires that you be here illegally.
Update: Ch 7 now two days later admitted that "several" of those arrested for these barbaric crimes were illegal. Sometimes it's what you don't say.
