The gang consists of migrants who were deported from the United States, many for committing crimes. The gang, and others in Central America, have become increasingly violent, carrying out beheadings and grenade attacks in Central America and hacking their enemies with machetes in cities along the U.S. East Coast.

Because he had 35 other alias, it took immigration investigators about two weeks to determine the man in custody was Rivera-Pa

The gang formed in the United States in the 1980s in a Los Angeles prison. The 13 and 18 signify the city streets in L.A. where they hung out

How Rivera-Paz got passed the Border Patrol checkpoint in Falfurrias is unknown or how managed to cross the border and into the Valley.
"I'm not sure as far as how he entered illegally," Cervantes said. "The information hasn't been forwarded yet."
