opposition to ms-13 in the u.s. has taken varied forms. in 2004, the fbi created the ms-13 national gang task force. the fbi also began cooperating with law enforcement in el salvador, honduras, guatemala, and mexico, and set up its own office in san salvador in february 2005. the following year, the fbi helped create a national gang information center (ngic), and outlined a national gang strategy for congress. in addition, the office of u.s. immigration and customs enforcement initiated operation community shield. in 2008, the ms-13 task force coordinated a series of arrests and crackdowns in the u.s. and central america that involved more than 6,000 police officers in five countries. seventy-three suspects were arrested in the u.s.; in all, more than 650 were taken into custody.by 2011, this operation had made over 20,000 arrests, including more than 3,000 arrests of alleged ms-13 members. in october 2012, the u.s. treasury department announced a freeze on american-owned assets controlled by the organization and listed ms-13 as a transnational criminal organization. while the three leaders (josé luís mendoza figueroa, eduardo erazo nolasco, and élmer canales rivera) were imprisoned in el salvador, they continued to give orders. as a result, the u.s. treasury department imposed further sanctions in 2015, allowing the government to seize all assets controlled by these men; any business with these leaders would no longer be allowed. in january 2016, over 400 boston police officers were involved in the arrests of 37 ms-13 members; 56 were charged altogether. guns, knives, and money were also seized at the homes of the gang members. massachusetts state police lt. col. frank hughes commented in a public conference, "in my 30 years of law enforcement, i've never seen a more violent gang out there. these are very very violent individuals. the violence is unspeakable." the charges included immigration violations, racketeering, and firearm and drug trafficking. on november 16, 2017, the u.s. department of homeland security (dhs), u.s. department of justice (doj), and immigration and customs enforcement (ice) officials announced that they arrested a total of 267 alleged ms-13 gang members and associates in operation raging bull, which was carried out in two phases. the first phase was in september 2017, and resulted in 53 arrests in el salvador. the second phase was between october 8 and november 11, 2017, and resulted in 214 arrests in the u.s. charges included drug trafficking, child prostitution, human smuggling, racketing, and conspiracy to commit murder.
