- MS-13 is a gang so deadly and violent that the Trump administration tried to officially label them a terrorist group. But how does this gang really operate?
How do they fit into the drug trade which is transforming Central American countries into narco-states? How have they virtually taken over entire cities?
This is how America gets MS-13 totally wrong - totally misunderstanding what this gang is and how they actually work. We go inside El Salvador's deadliest street gang.

Nice to see us all gathered here for VICE's weekly cartel video
Thought you knew 👍💥✔
Yes sr or mam lol
Weekly propaganda... the demand is in northe america... so someone will fulfill it.... America need to stop it from inside not outside.... but big percentage of the ppls are brainwashed...
MS is not a cartel though
Where am I?
I feel like I’ve seen this video 5838 times but here we go
yea vice is on a decline
Same, I don’t think I learned anything from any of those viewings.
Exactly. So many cool stories they could be doing on 💊DRUGS💊, but instead the same old thing over & over. They need wipe the slate clean. I sware they go out of there way to find the biggest posers to do these.
stop watching so many cartel videos
Its just a compilation of all their former videos on MS-13. They just added some new stuff , but everything else is many years old.
Leave it to Vice to paint MS13 as misunderstood metal heads. Smh
Haha that was funny
thats not what they are painting them as at all. They said thats what they were when ms13 first started, before they became violent gangsters
I remember my dad telling me about how he saw MS-13 and 18 start in El Salvador. He says the same exact thing, that at first it was just groups of kids/teenagers hanging out listening to music, then they started with thefts, then eventually turned into what they are now.
Pretty much thats how they all started.
Someone gets beat up then it escalates until they completely take over and start power vacuums or in this situation reach continuous Stale mate in a battle of attrition.
Or both
They started in the US bucko. They formed as a result of bullying Mexican gangs in the states then were deported back to a American funded, Civil War torn El Salvador were they thrived and grew
so what?
Most of organizations usually start like that ....they eventually turn worse
20 Homicides a day in Honduras? Chicago Mayor Lightfoot: "Those are rookie numbers, you gotta get those numbers up!"
El Salvador is taking the 13th/18th members one by one, yet these articles say how Inhumane the authorities are treating them but forget how them gangs treated their victims.
We should celebrate every time a cartel leader or gang member is sent to hell for selling death. Greedy and ugly people with no right to live.
Well said. The more comments
Great job el salvador
Why isnt this number one 1? 😤
Ms13 should be rounded up and put up against a wall and shot firing squad style

@@fofofofo3076 thank you
like you have to be like that if you want to survive, Lord Jesus bless you there my El Salvadoran friends.
They are getting very powerful on Long Island, NY. They murdered my friend's brother for not joining. It's hard to stop a group that recruits that way. We've got to protect our kids so they don't face that choice. Die or join. It's not some movie plot. It's real.
Wow. So sorry for your loss. What’s the answer?
@@GladysAlicea Thank you but I never actually met my friend's brother. It happened before I met my friend. I don't have an answer but one thing that we are doing that almost guarantees them new recruits is that we take unaccompanied minor immigrants and move them to an immigrant community, thinking this will help them adjust, and they become prey for the gangs. They have nobody to protect them and are usually afraid to go to police for help. The gang bullies the kid until he joins or they kill him. People don't seem to believe that children are actually facing this decision. Join or die. It's real. We're taking children leaving a hellish existence and putting them into another hell where they have a great chance of death or long prison sentences. Maybe they'd be better off living in communities that don't have such a high population of new immigrants? Especially because it is known that this is happening.
MS-13 preys on its own immigrant community and that's how it increases its power and numbers. Maybe we could spread immigrants around the country in a smarter way, especially if they don't have a preference on where they want to live. It may sound extreme but the problem is very serious. We could explain to them what situation they face if they live in an immigrant community and offer them an opportunity to live elsewhere if they want.
@@GladysAlicea
War on gangs, revoke rights away from criminals, concentration camps, and death penalty that's the answer -- it worked in El Salvador, Philippines, and China. However, we know usa governors aren't gonna do that because is more profitable keeping them in jail.
In Long Island? That’s wild.
@@jonadams5547 Not sure if that is a joke, bc we say "on Long Island" not "in Long Island". But yeah, they are very powerful here.
its mindblowing how homicidal gang members answering questions calmly like one minute they were shooting someone in the head then next minute they were sitting down and answering interviews
They grew up in and around violence, and there's so much death that they basically become desensitized when it comes to killing. I've heard stories of young boys recruited for the cartels in Mexico, they say they give them someone to kill for the first time so they get "used" to it. It's sad, the crime and poverty, I'm Guatemalan/Mexican but born and raised in the States and honestly, none of this shocked me. I've heard worse. 😔
When you're immune from punishment it's far more easy to be calm and collected... MS-13 is every conservatives worst nightmare even when compared to abortion and gay marriage
Tribal mind. Kill The enemy tribe. Its build in to us. Everyone can dig that part of them out. Look at American polical party supporters. Its not far away for them

America's war on drugs creates the perfect marketplace for this to happen. It's not a surprise people risk their lives to leave. I'd do anything to keep my kid safe and I'm sure most would do the same for their families
It’s within their interest to leave the gang mostly untouched, so we can feed the prison systems in America, this desperation is perpetuated domestically.
True El Salvador government and leaders also responsible too though
You forgot to mention a corrupt government as well .
The US has definitely made this problem worse, but gang and organized crime as well as absurdly high rates of violence have been endemic in central and parts of South America for the better part of a century. Even as far back prohibition Mexican criminal organizations have been exploiting our black markets and tragic addiction for profit.
It all started over an ice cream vendor ? Unknown to MS13 n MS 18 are from central america the Usa has a its nazi propgram in operation or the perfect place to peddle drugs illegal n legal onto their own people n then blame El Anybody : Your on the money my man , keep ur own power dont empower our societies elite aryans by thinking they have power you dont .

The definition of "cartel" and morphed for most people since it became primarily associated with the drug trade.
right, it used to refer to a group of guys that would haul freight using carts
Originally it meant a large syndicate that attenpts to maintain a monopoly on something (which DTOs commonly do). These days the term means "a gang of gangs."
@@samsonsoturian6013 well they used to have a monopoly, but soooo many different players came into the game. Mainly, starting w home grown meth labs, fentanyl coming in from China, and can’t forget about good ol’ Cali homegrown.
@@halfforeignamericana5451 Not exactly. There once La Federacion which had a near monopoly on the Mexican drug trade. Their leadership was wiped out, and their component parts started building their own regional drug empires (among them Sinaloa, El Chapo's crew). These days the biggest empires no longer have any connection to La Federacion.
It’s not the real problem, ugly and greedy persons on every level in the trade should be executed.
Selling death should lead to their own death, simple. The self sanitation between the gangs are to slow and innocent people gets involved.
Well said!
Hey! Long time without a new video about Honduras, which will probably be the main character if we talk crime :D

FAH Q lol
This has been going on for decades....I went to school with children of, and some of the MS13 gang members. I personally know some of them. Even became friends cuz we lived in the same neighborhood. They are well within the borders of America.
Actually....not too long ago, a high school basketball coach tried robbing MS gang members in the state I referenced earlier. They killed him of course.....
MS-13 started in the 80s and was not a product of the war on drugs but a product of civil war in Central America when the guerrillas began fleeing Central America to the US where they lived as undocumented workers most of their lives. Violence begets violence. The US based gangs really created havoc bc they began to organize making them stronger and bigger as the years passed. Most of them are low level street dealers that rob, kidnap and murder. It is horrible just how much they have torn that country up. I am Salvadoran and my mom had to sell her property and a rock bottom price bc the gang members murdered her tenant and took up residence in the home my mom inherited from my grand parents
The video literally just portrayed how this has been going on for decades. Who was that statement even for?
@@isabelreyes6387 The Salvadoran Civil War you are referring to started in 1979. Drug gangs in general are a product of the war on drugs.
@@barryallen871 Some Salvadorans fled their Civil War and got asylum here. Once here they were preyed upon by LA street gangs so they form La Mara Salvatrucha, (later called MS-13) for protection and to fight back. Then they got deported/exported to El Salvador if they finished a jail sentence here. Now these LA street gangs are multinational and are more and more closely working with cartels, on the west coast here primarily under the supervision of La Eme. (The Mexican Mafia,) which is a powerful US prison gang. The number 13 denotes that affiliation.
I just left El Salvador and it is quite crazy how much has changed!
Worse, better?
Depends who you ask and where they live. Some ppl say the gangs are stil very much present, but aren’t walking around as freely and comfortable as before for fear of being caught.
In more rural areas, they are still extorting and making ppls life hell. The president mainly cares about keeping tourist areas free and clear of gangs.
@@GhostSal better much better El Salvador went from the most violent country in the world to now the safest in all Latin America can't say the same for Honduras. Honduras is still very much dangerous

This is why we need to treat drug addiction as an illness. Treat the people, reduce the dependency on drug dealers, reduce their cashflow. If America can change its mentality on treating instead of punishing, other countries will benefit as well.

If you don't, you will miss going to heaven and end up in the lake of fire. It is terrible so I beg you to make the only correct decision for God to allow you to go to heaven.

They been fighting the MS 13 for years and still haven't been able to bring them down
I don't think they are really trying.
El Salvador is bringing them down, we brought down the homicide rate and are one of the safest countries in CA thanks to Bukele's new measures.
We are not seriously fighting them
They don’t fight anything, they lock them up and make them even deadlier and more resourceful.
@@rollingrizzo1291 You’re right. That’s why we’ll bring back the death penalty (:
It's not about realising what they have done with the war on drugs; they knew all along what would happen. Instability, they love it.
💔🇸🇻 . . . There’s more to it. Historically, corruption and bloodshed has cover the land. This a big piece of the puzzle but keep in mind not the only one.
Las pandillas escuchando a Black Sabbath en los angeles WAJAJAJAJKAA SE VE QUE NO SABEN NADA DE NADA, al escuchar esto dejé de ver el vídeo de una vez 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
for some it's "the war on drugs"
for others it's "the war",,on drugs,,
M.S-13 in Colombia are growing !
Damn Fam.
5:00
covers his face but not his tattoos and voice
it must be his first day being a gang member
The problem is the consumer and that largely stems from moral apathy on the part of high traffick recipient cultures and countries.
Boredom you mean and an escape from the pointless lives 😁
@@UKCHEEZ no, I mean, they don’t really care how they get the stuff they buy or who gets hurt to make it…
Drugs and free will were here before governments. Just saying
@@djb3273 Fair enough, so were mammoths and sabre tooth tigers…
@@dotsmassacre bro this is just a repeat of prohibition with alcohol. Its all about money at the end of the day. So many people would be without jobs if there was no war on drugs
It is surprising how they can film gangsters but can't arrest them
I guess I don't understand... The reason something starts is not necessarily the reason something is going to end
It seems they have decided not to mention the dichotomy of US foreign policy involving those three nations leading up to this epidemic of gang violence spanning through the 1960s to the present date. I am curious as to why this does not play a bigger role in this presentation?
Maybe because that would be a whole different video? Vice is attempting to show that for as long as the war on drugs continues, these once, small time groups turn into powerful, international gangs and smugglers. End the war on drugs, tax the sales and use those taxes to fund rehab and clinics. War won.
Exactly! Especially in Guatemala!😤
Agreed!
Yes, so much more to this. What about the fruit companies who took a lot of land and leaned on the US government and local government to have things go their way which set a lot of things in motion against the local people.
@vice you guys should make a video about the people being incarcerated in El Salvador that have nothing to do with the gangs. Yeah the government are taking them out the street but they are also targeting the poor communities. My step dad and a few Christian guys I went to church with when u was a kid, are locked up now under the regime ruling
I support this
Vice has a deep blue tint. I don’t think they want to deal with the dissolutions of a god-king. Bukele has lost His mind.
“El pulgarcito de America” will continue to be under this mess until they realized that nor communism nor socialism will ever work and that every single lier that came to power, right or left has ransack the place with smoke and mirrors.
Truth to be told, I have no idea if there’s hope in our generation for Central American or specifically, for my beloved El Salvador.
Take courage and if there’s anything in your hands to do, do it! If there’s just one more thing, do it! Like Paul said: “be men” Go! If there’s one more prayer, pray it.
I pray God has mercy of your friends. Only Jesus can save us. Let His Kingdom come and His will to be done on El Salvador as in heaven.
Also one on El Salvador’s new “cool” dictator, its youngest ever. Frightening to watch, but if US hadn’t done everything in its power to ensure Central America never progressed and threatened its power, the region would be better off.
@@GladysAlicea i’ll never forgive the US for their involvement in what turned into an 11 year civil war that killed thousands of innocent lives. nothing good came out of that. refugees fled, started MS-13 in LA, just for the US to deport those same refugees back to the country that they tore up, and have MS-13 flood El Salvador to cause terror. All of this was due to the US involvement.
Lmaooo u cappin they not locking up random people😂they locking up
Gang members and people who have ties to them😂😂😂
If you’ve ever watched 18 with a bullet, i wonder how Happy and duke are now after all these years
Duke is the leader now and still alive and locked up...Diablo was assassinated
Let this sink in 18st is a Mexican gang that became the biggest gang in El Salvador and Los Angeles
The same could be said about alcohol production, distribution and sales, it can also lead to personality changes, addiction and violent behaviour.
And is the cause of many deaths every year.
Absolutely! But alcohol is socially acceptable, so in the cities, there is a liquor store on every corner.
@@atmosrepair In Washington state you can just buy liquor in your local Safeway grocery store(or pretty much anywhere). I'm not sure if the even have liquor stores.
Life is unpredictable and possibly fragile...
Have u thought about whether u go 2 heaven or hell after this life? Cuz life is short & fragile. Look at how many peeps die each day...but there's hope...
It is alright to be concern or not know about what happens after this life. Fortunately there's a way to not suffer, not be in danger, not be poor, not get hurt, not have to work in vain, not have to feel any kind of negative vibe, and not to get tired anymore.
Imagine you will be invincible, immortal, and holy with a new, upgraded body to the core! Imagine everyone around you will be the same as you. Isn't that a delightful thought? It's true you or anyone can have eternal life.
All you got to do is to accept Jesus Christ 🙏 as your Savior! Once you do, He will let you into heaven during your day when you finally see Him!
God does like you. You have to reach our to Him by prayers 🙏 ❤️ ♥️. Let Him know your issues 🙏 He is listening to you.
You can safely use alcohol in moderation and not have an addiction. There is no amount of cocaine that is safe to use.
