This ought to make the left happy; a major gang leader, who is on the FBI's Most-Wanted list, has been captured in Mexico and is headed to the United States, not to be handed a bus ticket and a cell phone, but to face trial. FBI Director Kash Patel announced the capture on Tuesday.

An alleged MS-13 senior gang leader on the FBI's "Ten Most Wanted Fugitives" list is being extradited to the U.S. after his arrest in Mexico, FBI Director Kash Patel announced Tuesday.

Francisco Javier Roman-Bardales was arrested on Monday in the mountains of the Gulf coast state of Veracruz by Mexican soldiers and federal agents. The FBI was offering a $250,000 reward for information on Bardales prior to his arrest.

Information was obtained, it seems. Since Roman-Baraldes was captured in Mexico, we presume the Mexican authorities made the bust, but Director Patel noted that the MS-13 leader is already in the United States, and he will be standing trial here.

"I can now confirm that last night, working with the Justice Department and other interagency partners, the FBI has extradited one of our 'Ten Most Wanted' from Mexico — one we believe to be a key senior leader of MS-13, Francisco Javier Roman-Bardales," Patel announced in a statement.

"He was arrested in Mexico and is being transported within the U.S. as we speak, where he will face American justice. This is a major victory both for our law enforcement partners and for a safer America. Thank you to our brave personnel for executing the mission. And thank you to Mexico’s SSPC and FGE teams for their support of the FBI in this investigation and arrest," he added.

It is belaboring the obvious to note that the world is a better place with this goblin behind bars. We should also note that he has plenty of compatriots right here in the United States, many, if not most, in the country illegally.

Roman-Bardales' capture is sending a message that they can be caught even south of the border.

He faces serious charges:

The FBI said Bardales faces charges in the Eastern District of New York relating to "several offenses for his alleged role in ordering numerous acts of violence against civilians and rival gang members, as well as his role in drug distribution and extortion schemes in the United States and El Salvador."

While the notion of Roman-Bardales facing an American trial is rather satisfying, it raised the question as to why he was brought to the United States at all, give the deal with have with El Salvador to keep people like this locked up. Roman-Baraldes is a member of a designated terrorist organization, and MS-13 has certainly lived up to that designation. But seeing him tried and (we hope) convicted will be satisfying as well. Better still, he may give up some of his fellow gang leaders. Omerta doesn't always seem to be a big deal with these guys. It's not the best time to be a drug cartel or gang member, and the screws are going to be tightened further still. 

There are a lot more gang and cartel members waiting, but targeting their leadership is a great way to proceed.

Thanks to President Trump, illegal immigration into our great country has virtually stopped. Despite the radical left's lies, new legislation wasn't needed to secure our border, just a new president.
