More than a dozen alleged members of the feared MS-13 street gang were arrested during early morning raids Tuesday in Ohio and Indiana, the Department of Justice said. Besides the 10 members charged in the federal indictment, federal officials said an additional five people were arrested and charged with federal immigration offenses. "MS-13 members have killed children and pregnant women, extorted immigrant-owned businesses, and trafficked underage girls to sell them for sex. Federal officials say the gang has more than 10,000 members and associates operating in at least 40 states, including Ohio. The vicious street gang has garnered national headlines for its brutal killings, including those of four young men who were hacked to death in a New York park in April.
