The Justice Department has moved to drop a criminal case against the alleged East Coast leader of the MS-13 gang less than a month after he was charged, saying they plan to deport him instead.
The Justice Department moved to drop charges Wednesday against a man they had alleged to be a “major leader” of the MS-13 gang just weeks after publicly lauding his arrest – a move his lawyer says is the first step towards immediately deporting him to El Salvador.
The man’s lawyer wrote that he was “keenly aware of the unusual nature of this motion. But these are unusual times.”
