Teens charged in
gruesome killing entered U.S. as 'kids', Two 17-year-olds members of MS-13 gang, by Leo Hohmann, 2/11/16,

Two Central American
teens charged in the recent execution-style killing of a Massachusetts man came
to the U.S. as unaccompanied alien children or UACs under President Obama’s
“open-border free-for-all,” according to a
Judicial Watch report. The two 17-year-old
boys also have ties to the notorious MS-13 gang, according
to the Boston Herald.
Upward of 130,000 women
and children from El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras have poured across the
U.S.-Mexico border since the summer of 2014 and the administration has
distributed them into communities nationwide with the help of the Catholic,
Lutheran, Baptist and various evangelical churches.
WND
reported Wednesday that a new
study by a Catholic organization found that nearly 80 percent of those coming
from Honduras were not fleeing violence but merely seeking economic
opportunities.
WND
also reported last month that Obama
was reclassifying the next wave of Central American migrants as “refugees.”
This will give them a legal status that makes them eligible for a host of
government welfare benefits.
The Obama administration
has for months been employing a “catch and release” strategy for Central
American children and families who show up at the southern border. More than 50
percent of those caught and released have not reported for their deportation
hearings.
Third alleged killer
still at large
Boston media now reports
that the 17-year-olds charged in the grisly Jan. 2 killing entered the U.S. as
UACs and both have ties to MS-13, according to authorities cited by the Boston
Herald. A third suspect is also wanted in the case but remains on the loose,
considered armed and dangerous.
The two teenage boys
charged this week resided in Everett and one of them, Cristian Nunez-Flores,
migrated to Massachusetts from his native El Salvador in the summer of 2014,
which is when the influx of Central American minors began to heat up.
The teen’s parents
remain in El Salvador, according to the Herald. The other suspect has been
identified as Jose Vasquez Ardon, who is also a recent arrival from Central
America.
‘Baby-faced boys’
Prosecutors say the two
suspects, described by the
Boston Globe as “baby-faced boys,”
shot a 19-year-old in the head at point-blank range. Both have pleaded not
guilty and are being held without bail. They needed the assistance of a Spanish
interpreter during court proceedings.
In a chilling retelling
of 19-year-old Omar Reyes’ final moments, assistant Middlesex District Attorney
Carrie Spiros said Reyes told his girlfriend he had “a bad vibe” about leaving
her apartment and meeting up with the two suspected killers. But he feared he’d
get a beat down if he didn’t go, the Herald reported. Prosecutors say he was
shot in the head on a bike path beneath the Tileston Street Bridge in Everett
on Jan. 2.
With a third suspect
still unidentified and his whereabouts unaccounted for, Malden District Court
Judge Lee G. Johnson sealed the police reports on the case.
Congressmen send letter
demanding answers
This week two federal
lawmakers – a senator and a congressman – sent a
letter to the administration
demanding answers on exactly how and when the teens entered the U.S. The
lawmakers, Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, the chairman of the Senate Judiciary
Committee, and Rep. Bob Goodlatte, R-Va., chair of the House Judiciary
Committee, also want to know if the administration had knowledge about the
suspects’ gang connections.
“Please provide a
complete copy of the alien file for Jose Vasquez Ardon and Cristian
Nunez-Flores,” the lawmakers state in a letter to the Department of Homeland
Security and Health and Human Services, the agency that’s mostly handled the
barrage of UACs and the relocation process.
“Please provide any
other information collected or maintained by DHS and HHS regarding either Jose
Vasquez Ardon or Cristian Nunez-Flores,” the request states.
Shortly after the first
batch of UACs arrived in mid-2014, Judicial Watch reported that many had ties
to gang members in the U.S., specifically MS-13.
Recruiting gangsters at
migrant shelters
Homeland Security
sources directly involved with the UAC crisis told Judicial Watch that street
gangs, including MS-13, went on a recruiting frenzy at U.S. shelters housing
the illegal alien minors and they used Red Cross phones to communicate.
The MS-13 is a feared
street gang of mostly Central American illegal immigrants that’s spread
throughout the U.S. and is renowned for drug distribution, murder, rape,
robbery, home invasions, kidnappings, vandalism and other violent crimes.
The Justice Department’s
National Gang Intelligence Center (NGIC) says criminal street gangs like the
MS-13 are responsible for the majority of violent crimes in the U.S. and are
the primary distributors of most illegal drugs.
Last year three MS-13
gang members were charged with the brutal rape of a girl in New York. Police
raids last month put the gang back in the spotlight in the Boston area. “Just a
few weeks ago dozens of MS-13 members were indicted in Boston for serious
crimes including murder, conspiracy to commit murder, drug trafficking, firearm
violations, federal racketeering and immigration offenses,” according to the
Judicial Watch report.
“Several of the
defendants are responsible for murdering at least five people since 2014 and
the attempted murder of at least 14 in Chelsea and East Boston, according to
the federal indictment. MS-13 members also sell cocaine, heroin and marijuana
and commit robberies to generate income to pay monthly dues to incarcerated
gang leadership in El Salvador, federal prosecutors say. The money is used to
pay for weapons, cell phones, shoes, food and other supplies for MS-13 thugs in
and out of jail in El Salvador.”
