FINAL INSTALLMENT

AMERICANS have been gripped by the fearsome tentacles of organized crime since the rise of the Italian Mafia in the 1920s. Finally, thanks to courageous work by crime-busting lawmen, the Sicilian-inspired mob is on the wane. But taking its place are gangsters even more bloodthirsty — the ruthless Russian mob and MS-13, a California gang that’s spread across the U.S. — by chopping off rivals’ heads! Here is GLOBE’s explosive three-part series about organized crime in America, based on a 10-month investigation.

American Gangsters

CRUEL, greedy and barbaric, the bloodthirsty MS-13 street gang has turned America’s Latin neighborhoods into war zones — but the El Salvador-spawned outlaws messed with the wrong guy, fed-up President Donald Trump!

As one of his first orders of business, Trump unleashed federal lawmen on the MS-13 butchers — who are frequently illegal aliens from Central American nations — and demanded an end to the reign of urban terror marked by public beheadings and terrible torture.

The response was swift — and devastating!

By summer, the gang suffered “a huge blow” when 41 tattoo covered thugs were collared on Long Island in New York for a string of 32 grisly slayings and “a horrific frenzy of violence.”

Authorities say four of the New York victims were hacked to death as “initiation killings” after they were lured into a park by sexpots connected with the machete-wielding outlaws, whose chilling motto is “kill, rape, control.”
