Alleged MS-13 leader asks judge for delay after DOJ moves to dismiss case

A man from Salvadoran, who is said to be the Prosecutor General Pam Bondi is the chief leader of the MS-13 gang, asks a judge not to reject a criminal case against him, although earlier the Department of Justice wants to end the case in favor of his deportation from the United States

Henry Jose Vilatoro Santos, who is said to be in the United States illegally, asks a magistrate judge in the US District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia to delay the dismissal, as he fears the US government will immediately move to deport him to prison in Salvador prison in prison for a secot.

Villatoro Santos was arrested at a residence in Virginia on March 27 with a highly advertised operation for an early morning. After he was removed under an exceptional administrative immigration order, a search of his room appeared weapons and “indicators of the MS-13 Association”, according to a statement from an American immigration and customs officer.

The director of Bondi and the FBI Kash Patel attended the attack in the early morning. At a press conference later the same day, Bondi said the man arrested in the operation was “one of the best leaders of MS-13” and “East Coast Leader” for the band. “He will not live in our country much longer,” she added.

Villatoro Santos was accused of the federal court for illegal possession of a firearm and was ordered to be detained in anticipation.

On Wednesday morning, the government filed a brief request to dismiss the case. The proposed explanation was simple, but there was no details. “The government no longer wants to pursue the instant prosecution at the time,” the proposal said.

“As a terrorist, he will now face the removal process,” Bondi said in a statement on Wednesday.

This led to the special circumstance of the defendant Villatoro Santos with the request of the court not to terminate the case immediately.

“The danger of the Villatoro Santos to be illegally deported from ice without a proper process and removed in Salvador, where he will almost certainly be detained immediately in one of the oldest prisons in the world without challenging his right, in this case, and the case of the government, as in the light of the government His welcome, in this particular case, to be late, to be late to give away, to be late.

Elside noted that he was “aware of the unusual nature” of movement.

“But these are unusual times,” he wrote with the request of the court to delay the entry of any dismissal order for two weeks to allow Villatoro Santos enough time to seek help from immigration council.
