Attorney General Sessions to Visit Long Island to Discuss MS-13 With Police Commissioner Sini

Commissioner Sini

“Suffolk County Police Commissioner Timothy D. Sini and other high-ranking law enforcement officials in the region will be meeting with Attorney General Jeff Sessions in Central Islip on Friday to discuss our ongoing efforts to combat gang violence.” stated –Assistant Police Commissioner Justin Meyers.

They are to meet at the court house in Central Islip April 28, 2017 at 9am.  Below are remarks by Attorney General Jeff Sessions at Meeting of the Attorney General’s Organized Crime Council and OCDETF Executive Committee, Washington, DC United States ~ Tuesday, April 18, 2017.

Sessions stated “So let me state this clearly. Under President Trump, the Justice Department has zero tolerance for gang violence.  Transnational criminal organizations like MS-13 represent one of the gravest threats to American safety.  These organizations enrich themselves by pedaling poison in our communities, trafficking children for sexual exploitation and inflicting horrific violence in the communities where they operate. 

MS-13 has become a symbol of this plague that has spread across our country and into our communities.  There are over 30,000 members abroad with their headquarters in the El Salvadoran prison system.  According to the National Gang Intelligence Center, MS-13 now has more than 10,000 members in at least 40 states in this country – up significantly from just a few years ago. 

Because of an open border and years of lax immigration enforcement, MS-13 has been sending both recruiters and members to regenerate gangs that previously had been decimated, and smuggling members across the border as unaccompanied minors.  They are not content to simply ruin the lives of adults – MS-13 recruits in our high schools, our middle schools and even our elementary schools.”

In the last 2 months ICE has taken into custody 2 MS-13 gang members in Huntington that were doing exactly what AG Sessions was talking about in the above message. Those 2 MS-13 gang members are in a holding facility waiting for deportation. We cannot have gangs controlling the schools and the streets and Commissioner Sini knows that and has added more resources to get Huntingtonian’s safe.
