We have been out since about 4.30 this morning. The great men and women of law enforcement have been working on this operation for days and days and probably weeks. This morning, early this morning, one of the top leaders of MS-13 was apprehended. He was the leader for the East Coast, one of the top three in the entire country. Right here in Virginia, living half an hour outside of Washington, DC. He is an illegal alien from El Salvador, and he will not be living in our country much longer. He's in custody this morning, one of the top leaders right here near our nation's capital. I just cannot thank Governor Yunkin enough for his leadership in this effort. This has been a joint effort with state and local agencies. FBI Director Patel, thank you so much.
