Mexican authorities have expelled five individuals identified as alleged members of the Mara Salvatrucha and Barrio 18 gangs. The individuals were removed from Mexico due to their irregular immigration status and suspected criminal affiliations. Reports indicate that one of the expelled subjects was allegedly attempting to establish operational ties with a Mexican cartel.
The operation involved coordination between Mexican and Guatemalan authorities. The Guatemalan National Civil Police (PNC) received the group at the El Carmen border crossing and subsequently transferred them under custody to El Salvador. While initial reports mentioned six individuals, subsequent updates clarified that five specific subjects were expelled as part of this security operation.
