Rep. Bob Good (R-VA), along with a group of House Republicans, has announced a plan to declare El Salvador’s evil MS-13 Gang a “foreign terrorist organization.”
“The Biden administration’s anti-American immigration policies have failed to prioritize the safety and security of the American people, favored illegal aliens, and created an out-of-control border crisis,” Good wrote. “This President’s open border policies have allowed MS-13 to infiltrate cities around the United States infecting American communities with violence and drugs.”
The legislation, titled the Every Town a Border Town Act, would ensure that the government has a broader scope to prosecute gang members for economic and violent crimes.
Reps. Ted Budd (R-NC), Paul Gosar (R-AZ), Scott Perry (R-PA), Mary Miller (R-IL), Louie Gohmert (R-TX), Matt Gaetz (R-FL), Madison Cawthorn (R-NC), Brian Babin (R-TX), Randy Weber (R-TX), Jeff Duncan (R-SC), Rodney Davis (R-IL), Lauren Boebert (R-CO), Andrew Garbarino (R-NY), Dan Bishop (R-NC), and Ralph Norman (R-SC) are co-sponsoring the legislation.
“We must enhance the safety of the American people by providing federal law enforcement with all the tools they need to stop these criminal gangs from terrorizing us and effectively making every town a border town,” Good continued.
