Experts warn that the gang is recruiting vulnerable migrant youth,
exploiting their need for protection and financial stability.
“They target young migrants, offering them a sense of belonging but demanding total loyalty,” said one gang expert.
Law enforcement is intensifying surveillance efforts to prevent the gang from establishing further strongholds in key cities.
Border Patrol agents have been instructed to share intelligence on suspected members with federal task forces.
Authorities fear that as the gang grows in size and power, its criminal activities will become more brazen and violent.
