A member of the violent Mara Salvatrucha street gang, who previously was arrested as a murder suspect, is back in custody after being arrested near Yuma by U.S. Border Patrol agents.

The unidentified gang member, a citizen of El Salvador, was arrested Monday night after he illegally entered the country, the patrol said.

Agent Ben Vik, a spokesman for the patrol's Yuma Sector, said the gang member has a record of arrests in California, Nevada and Arizona on suspicion of such offenses as murder, attempted murder, evading a police officer, fugitive from justice, robbery, numerous drug offenses, possession of stolen property and violation of a deportation order.

Vik said he did not know if he had been convicted of all those offenses, but said he served a two-year prison term for a cocaine conviction in early 1990s as well as prison terms for two separate robbery convictions in 1995 and 2002.

“Border Patrol agents encounter criminals on a routine basis,â€

A fingerprint check identified the alien arrested Monday night as an aggravated felon with a history of criminal activity dating back to 1993, mainly in the San Francisco area, Vik said.

"He is a member of the San Francisco Mara Salvatrucha clique. He had planned to return San Francisco," Vik said.

Ah yes, the sanctuary city of San Francisco! Was he one of the "juveniles" that SF was harboring? Jail doesn't stop him, SF helps him, he will commit more crimes, if deported again he will be back. What to do with violent career criminals like him? Death penalty is the only answer.

Oh, let's give this guy a break. He probably didn't know that crossing illegally is a crime, and murder is probably legal in El Slave-ador (bad pun intended.)
PS: I need more emoticons, please.

"He is a member of the San Francisco Mara Salvatrucha clique. He had planned to return San Francisco," Vik said.

He would have been home free had he made it back to SF, where he would have been given a second chance to elevate his status to a real murder instead of merely a murder suspect!

The illegal alien is a felon and has a history of being charged with murder, robberies, and re-entering the U.S. illegally. He should have the book thrown at him and then get deported when his sentence is up. GET RID OF ALL ILEGAL ALIEN GANG MEMBERS!

IMO, illegl aliens that keep getting deported only to come back again, should have a REAL HARSH PUNISHMENT WAITING FOR THEM. Enough of us playing cat and mouse games!
