MS-13 Gang Member Arrested In Southwestern AZ

U.S. Border Patrol agents in the Yuma Sector have arrested an MS-13 gang member near San Luis.

They say record checks identified the subject as a Honduran national and active member of the MS-13 gang who was last removed from the country through Phoenix in February 2013.

The subject was arrested Wednesday and is in custody of the Border Patrol's Yuma Station.

The person's name and age wasn't immediately released Thursday.
