In addition, an alleged "MS-13 gang member and foreign terrorist" associate who is also wanted in the Central American nation for allegedly "giving orders" to members of the gang to commit a range of serious crimes such as murder and drug trafficking was also taken into federal custody, according to ICE.
The arrest was considered "targeted enforcement action" in Omaha, with authorities saying the two were a "serious threat" to the area.
The two were both living illegally in the U.S., and the investigation is being done by ICE and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives.
