Two members of the brutal East Boston-based street gang, MS-13, were busted, including a woman who had been deported for violent crimes, but managed to sneak back into the country.

The arrest of 20-year-old Dinora Chavaria marked the second arrest of an MS-13 member who returned to Boston just months after being deported for criminal convictions.

It was unclear where she was arrested, or how she got back into the United States, officials from the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency said.

Both busts are part of ``Operation Community Shield,'' a federal anti-gang initiative launched in March to target members of the gang in six cities across the nation.

The initiative is modeled after the North Shore Gang Intelligence Unit, which was started five years ago by Sgt. Detective Joseph Fiandaca in East Boston.

Another member of the East Boston-based MS-13, or Mara Salvatrucha gang, Oscar Aviles, 20, was also arrested. Chavaria and Aviles have long criminal records with entries for assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, officials said.
