President Donald Trump's administration intensifies its crackdown on transnational gang violence with a substantial reward for the capture of a notorious MS-13 kingpin.

According to Fox News, the FBI has renewed its call for public assistance in capturing Yulan Adonay Archaga Carías, offering a $5 million reward for information leading to the arrest of the Honduran MS-13 leader who continues to orchestrate criminal activities affecting American communities.

The 43-year-old gang leader, also known by aliases "Alexander Mendoza" and "Porky," currently holds a position on the FBI's Top 10 Most Wanted list for his alleged involvement in numerous criminal enterprises, including drug trafficking, weapons distribution, and orchestrating murders of rival gang members.

FBI Director Pledges Unwavering Pursuit of MS-13 Leadership

FBI Director Kash Patel expressed the bureau's determination to apprehend Archaga Carías, emphasizing the significance of dismantling MS-13's leadership structure. The pursuit of Archaga Carías represents a crucial component of the Trump administration's broader strategy to combat transnational criminal organizations.

Attorney General Pamela Bondi highlighted the urgency of capturing the MS-13 leader, stressing the devastating impact his organization has on communities across the Western Hemisphere. The Department of Homeland Security has designated MS-13 as a foreign terrorist organization, reflecting the severity of the threat posed by the gang.

The renewed focus on Archaga Carías comes after the successful capture of three other FBI Most Wanted fugitives during the early months of Trump's second term, demonstrating the administration's commitment to apprehending high-profile criminals.

Extensive Criminal Enterprise Under Archaga Carías Leadership

As the alleged supreme leader of MS-13 operations in Honduras, Archaga Carías has established a sophisticated criminal network that extends well beyond Central American borders. His organization allegedly facilitates the movement of multi-ton cocaine shipments through Honduras destined for the United States.

The FBI's investigation has revealed that Archaga Carías maintains control over MS-13's criminal activities throughout Honduras while providing crucial support to gang operations in both Central America and the United States. This support includes the distribution of firearms, narcotics, and financial resources.

Law enforcement officials emphasize that Archaga Carías personally participates in violent activities, including ordering and carrying out murders of individuals associated with rival gangs and others who oppose MS-13's operations.

Recent MS-13 Developments Across Americas

The pursuit of Archaga Carías parallels significant developments in the fight against MS-13 throughout the region. El Salvador's President Nayib Bukele has implemented aggressive measures against the gang, resulting in the imprisonment of over 80,000 suspected MS-13 members in specialized facilities known as "Terrorism Confinement Centers."

Recent events in the United States have highlighted the ongoing challenges posed by MS-13, including the deportation of suspected member Kilmar Abrego Garcia to El Salvador. Investigation records from Homeland Security Investigations indicated Garcia's potential involvement in labor and human trafficking operations.

The FBI's successful capture of MS-13 senior leader Francisco Javier Roman-Bardales on March 18 represents a significant victory in the ongoing campaign against the gang's leadership structure.

Final Push Against MS-13 Leadership Structure

The multi-million dollar reward for Archaga Carías's capture represents the Trump administration's strategic focus on dismantling MS-13's command hierarchy. President Trump has prioritized the fight against MS-13 since returning to office, with the recent capture of three FBI Most Wanted fugitives demonstrating the effectiveness of this approach.

The ongoing manhunt for Archaga Carías involves coordination between multiple federal agencies, including the FBI, Department of Homeland Security, and international law enforcement partners. The substantial reward reflects the high priority placed on bringing this influential gang leader to justice.

FBI Director Patel's Statement emphasizes the bureau's unwavering commitment:

Dismantling and ultimately eliminating MS-13 continues to be one of the FBI's highest priorities, and we're not stopping until that mission is complete. Alongside our dedicated law enforcement partners, the FBI will find Archaga Carías – a terrorist whose reign of terror at the helm of MS-13 is coming to an end.
