We need to separate fact from fiction about MS-13.

It’s one of Trump’s favorite talking points: how the gang MS-13 is taking advantage of loose immigration laws and spreading violence and drugs. But is the gang really invading the country, and is it a growing problem? In our latest Vox + ProPublica collaboration, we break down all the talk about MS-13 and separate fact from fiction.

CIA much worse than your boogeyman "MS-13". In fact, U.S. military have committed more crimes than MS-13 😂 Remember, U.S. Troops mass murdered over 1 million Iraqi's.

The woman who claims to be following them and portrays them as normal is dangerous.

Please don’t be fooled. The two largest and well funded gangs in California are the Walnut Creek police department and Contra Costa County fire department. These are racist gangs. They harass, try to terrorize and if given the chance will frame innocent people of color with crimes. Only Love can conquer these sins.
God is Love.

The harsh reality is, they are just kids. Kids from a war torn 5th world poverty stricken country who don’t know any better and feel abandoned by everyone except the gang.
