45 arrested in NY area following gang sweep

NEW YORK (AP) - Law enforcement officials say they have arrested 45 suspected gang members or affiliates during a recent crackdown in the metropolitan New York area.
They say the joint initiative by federal and local law enforcement included 39 linked to the MS-13 gang. Authorities say the gang has been responsible for nearly 20 killings on Long Island in the past 18 months.
Many of those killings have centered on the Brentwood and Central Islip communities. Victims have included high school students.
The majority of arrests were in Suffolk County, where authorities rounded up 33 suspects on a variety of charges.
Those arrested, all of them male, include nationals from El Salvador (27); Honduras (11); Mexico (5); and Guatemala (2).
Authorities say 12 of the MS-13 members crossed the border as unaccompanied minors.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested 39 alleged New York City-area MS-13 members over the last month, officials said Wednesday.
ICE worked with the NYPD, as well as the Nassau and Suffolk County Police Departments, to make the busts.
In total, they arrested 45 alleged gangbangers as part of their new "Operation Matador" initiative, which focuses on fighting MS-13 and other "transnational criminal gang activity" in New York City and Long Island, the feds said.
Twenty of those arrested have criminal records — including weapons and assault convictions, ICE said in a statement.

Immigration arrests have steadily risen since President Trump took office, vowing to deport undocumented immigrants with criminal records.
All of those arrested are men, authorities said.
Twenty-seven of the detainees come from El Salvador, 11 from Honduras, five from Mexico and two from Guatemala.
Thirty-three of the arrests were in Suffolk County. There were eight arrests in Nassau County, three in Queens, and one in Brooklyn, authorities said.
Twelve of these men — "all of which were confirmed MS-13 gang members" — entered the U.S. as unaccompanied minors, ICE said.
