After turing them over to border patrol the officer said this was the first time he has confronted the dangerous MS-13 gang noting, "Once I asked him to lift up his shirt, that's where I observed he had MS-13 tatooed on his chest and his back....he was more tough, and more you know aggressive."

The officer who preferred to remain unidentified said, "In my opinion I believe to spread you know, spread the outbreak of gang members, to recruit more people."
