CRS Report for CongressPrepared for Members and Committees of Congress Gangs in Central America Clare Ribando Seelke Specialist in Latin American Affairs January 28, 2013 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 RL34112 Gangs in Central America Congressional Research Service Summary Congress has maintained an interest in the effects of gang violence in Central America , and on the expanding activities of transnational Gangs with ties to that region operating in the United States. Since FY2008, Congress has appropriated significant amounts of funding for anti- gang efforts in Central America , as well as domestic anti- gang programs. Two recent developments may affect congressional interest in Central American Gangs : a truce between rival Gangs has lowered violence in El Salvador, and the Treasury Department has designated the Mara Salvatrucha (MS-13) as a significant transnational criminal organization (TCO). MS-13 and its main rival, the 18th Street gang (also known as M-18), continue to threaten citizen security and challenge government authority in Central America .
