A reputed MS-13 gangbanger who had repeatedly snuck into the US illegally was finally nabbed by federal immigration agents — and could be headed to El Salvador’s notorious mega-prison.
Wilmer Alexi Garcia-Manzanarez, who is wanted on terror and homicide charges in his native country, was picked up by ICE agents near Boston and hauled back home on Nov. 3, the feds said this week.
Garcia-Manzarez, who first crossed the US from Canada in 2001, has also amassed a rap sheet here, with convictions for burglary, menacing with a weapon, property damage and drunken driving.
“The removal of Wilmer Alexi Garcia-Manzanarez means that the residents of Massachusetts are exponentially safer,” ICE Boston Field Office Director David Wesling said in a statement.
“Garcia-Manzanarez represents a significant threat to our Massachusetts communities,” Wesling said. “Aside from his significant criminal history in the US, authorities in his home country wanted him to face charges for homicide and terrorist affiliation related to gang membership.”
The feds said the vicious gang leader has been reported several times after he was initially nabbed at the northern border on March 6, 2001 — and defied an immigration judge’s order the following year.
Eventually shipped home, Garcia-Manzanarez snuck into the US at least three times between January 2007 and October 2012 after a series of deportations, the agency said. --->READ MORE HERE

Wilmer Alexy Garcia-Manzanarez had outstanding murder warrant in El Salvador, was deported three times before
An El Salvadorean MS-13 "terrorist gang leader" who tried to "game" the U.S. immigration system under the Biden administration has been deported to his home country, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced Thursday.
Wilmer Alexy Garcia-Manzanarez was originally arrested by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in February 2024, "but the Biden administration allowed the criminal to try and game our immigration system by claiming fear of returning to El Salvador where he had an outstanding warrant for murder," according to the department.
"The Biden administration let this MS-13 gang member and wanted murderer claim fear of returning to El Salvador despite having a final order of removal and three prior deportations. Of course, a wanted murderer does not want to return to his country to face justice for his crimes," DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said in a statement.
"Thanks to President Trump and Secretary Noem, this criminal illegal alien is OUT of our country," she added. "The days of the world’s criminals indefinitely remaining in our country are over."
Homeland Security said Garcia-Manzanarez "also committed several heinous crimes in the United States, including burglary, menacing/intimidation with a weapon, driving under the influence of alcohol, property damage, and driving without a license."
He was sent back to El Salvador on Nov. 3. --->READ MORE HERE
