Eight MS-13 Gang Members Plead Guilty to Multi-Year Racketeering Conspiracy Involving Murders and Witness Tampering

Eight members of the violent transnational criminal organization Mara Salvatrucha, commonly known as MS-13, pleaded guilty today to charges stemming from a multi-year racketeering conspiracy that included multiple murders and acts of witness tampering. The defendants—identified as Walter Antonio Chicas-Garcia, 28, aka “Mejia,” Wilson Jose Ventura-Mejia, 29, aka “Discreto,” Miguel Angel Aguilar-Ochoa, 40, aka “Darki,” and Marlon Miranda-Moran, 26, aka “Chinki,”—are all citizens of El Salvador and were unlawfully residing in Houston, Texas at the time of the offenses.

According to their plea agreements, Chicas-Garcia, Ventura-Mejia, and Aguilar-Ochoa will each be sentenced to 50 years of imprisonment while Miranda-Moran will be sentenced to 35 years of imprisonment.

“These defendants carried out brutal murders in the name of MS-13, killing victims with machetes, baseball bats, and their bare hands, and then sending photos of the victims’ bodies to MS-13 leaders in El Salvador,” said Acting Assistant Attorney General Matthew R. Galeotti of the Justice Department’s Criminal Division. “The defendants committed these unthinkable acts to maintain their status in a gang that spread fear in local neighborhoods and targeted those brave enough to cooperate with law enforcement. Today’s guilty pleas send a powerful message that the Justice Department will aggressively pursue and hold accountable MS-13 members who use violence and murder to terrorize our communities.”

On August 11, four additional MS-13 members—Defendants Luis Ernesto Carbajal-Peraza, 33, aka “Destino,” Edgardo Martinez-Rodriguez, 35, aka “Largo,” Carlos Alexi Garcia-Gongora, 27, aka “Garcia,” and Wilman Rivas-Guido, 29, aka “Inquieto” —also pleaded guilty to the same racketeering conspiracy. All four are citizens of El Salvador and were residing in the Houston area. The parties stipulated to a sentencing range of 40 to 45 years of imprisonment for Carbajal-Peraza, and 45 to 50 years for Martinez-Rodriguez, Garcia-Gongora, and Rivas-Guido.

According to court documents and statements made in court, MS-13 is a violent international street gang involved in a variety of violent criminal activities across the United States, including Texas, Virginia, Maryland, New York, and California. MS-13 also has a large international presence in El Salvador and Honduras. To protect MS-13’s power, reputation, and territory, members and associates must use intimidation and violence, including murder and assault with deadly weapons, such as machetes.

As part of their plea agreement, the defendants admitted to being members of MS-13 and participating in a criminal enterprise responsible for multiple murders, extortion, drug trafficking, robbery, and obstruction of justice in and around the Houston, Texas area from 2017 through 2018. High-ranking MS-13 leaders based in El Salvador ordered and approved of the murders, sometimes listening by phone as MS-13 members carried out the murders. MS-13 members participated in the murders to increase or maintain their own position within MS-13’s ranks. MS-13 targeted the murder victims because they were believed to be members of rival gangs, cooperating with law enforcement, or working against MS-13’s interests. MS-13 members committed the murders using machetes, a baseball bat, and strangling. After the murder, MS-13 members sent photos of the victims’ bodies to high-ranking MS-13 members in El Salvador, sometimes further mutilating or dismembering the victim’s body before sending the photos.

According to their plea agreements, Chicas-Garcia, Ventura-Mejia, and Aguilar-Ochoa will each be sentenced to 50 years in federal prison while Miranda-Moran will receive a 35-year-term of imprisonment. Martinez-Rodriguez, Garcia-Gongora, and Rivas-Guido have agreed to a term from 45-50 years, while Carbajal-Peraza is expected to receive 40-45 years of imprisonment.

Sentencing hearings for all eight defendants are scheduled to take place later this year. A federal district court judge will consider the sentencing stipulations and impose any sentence after considering the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and other statutory factors.

The FBI, Homeland Security Investigations, Houston Police Department, Harris County Sheriff’s Office, Galveston Police Department, Texas Department of Public Safety, Liberty County Sheriff’s Office, the Prince George’s County Police Department, the University of North Texas Center for Human Identification, the United States Marshal Service, and the Texas Office of the Attorney General led or contributed to the lengthy and complex investigation of this case.

Trial Attorney César S. Rivera-Giraud from the Criminal Division’s Violent Crime and Racketeering Section, along with Assistant U.S. Attorney Keri Fuller, and Special Assistant U.S. Attorney Britni Verdeja for the Southern District of Texas are prosecuting the case.

This case is part of Operation Take Back America, a nationwide initiative that marshals the full resources of the Department of Justice to repel the invasion of illegal immigration, achieve the total elimination of cartels and transnational criminal organizations and protect our communities from the perpetrators of violent crime. Operation Take Back America streamlines efforts and resources from the Department’s OCDETF and Project Safe Neighborhoods. 

Attorney General James Defends New York’s Shield Law Against Texas Attack

 

AG James Says New York Will Not Enforce Texas’s Abortion Bans

New York Attorney General Letitia James today announced that she is intervening to block the Texas attorney general's attempts to use New York courts to enforce Texas’s abortion bans. The Texas attorney general is suing a New York county clerk after his office was blocked from filing papers to collect a $113,000 judgment against a New York doctor who provided safe, legal telehealth abortion care. His lawsuit challenges New York’s shield law, which protects providers and patients by preventing state and local officials from helping out-of-state prosecutions for abortion or gender-affirming care. Today, Attorney General James formally intervened in the lawsuit to defend the constitutionality of the shield law and ensure out-of-state extremists cannot use New York’s courts to advance their anti-abortion agenda.

“I am stepping in to defend the integrity of our laws and our courts against this blatant overreach,” said Attorney General James. “Texas has no authority in New York, and no power to impose its cruel abortion ban here. Our shield law exists to protect New Yorkers from out-of-state extremists, and New York will always stand strong as a safe haven for health care and freedom of choice. I will fight every last attempt to roll back our rights and turn back the clock on reproductive freedom.”

Passed in 2023 after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, New York's shield law protects reproductive and gender-affirming care providers who offer health care that is fully legal in New York. The law prohibits public officials from enforcing out-of-state subpoenas, judgments, arrests, or extraditions in cases targeting providers, and extends these protections to reproductive health care providers offering telehealth care in New York.

In December 2024, the Texas attorney general sued a New York doctor in Texas court for providing abortion telehealth care from her clinic in Ulster County. After a Texas judge issued a $113,000 judgment against the doctor, the attorney general attempted to bring his case to New York courts, asking the Ulster County Supreme Court to enforce the judgment and help collect the money awarded in Texas. The county clerk rejected the filing under New York’s shield law, which bars courts and officials from using state resources to enforce out-of-state punishments against protected health care providers. In response, the Texas attorney general sued the clerk and challenged New York’s shield law, claiming the law violates the Constitution’s Full Faith and Credit Clause.

Now, Attorney General James is stepping in to defend the shield law. Today, she formally notified Ulster County Supreme Court Judge David Gandin that she is intervening in Texas’s lawsuit, invoking her authority to defend New York laws that are challenged in court. In a filing later this month, Attorney General James will argue that Texas cannot commandeer New York’s courts to enforce its punitive abortion laws, and that New York has the legal right and responsibility to safeguard its residents, its providers, and its courts from out-of-state overreach.

This case is part of a growing effort by anti-abortion politicians to extend their bans across state lines and punish providers and medical professionals who continue to offer abortion and reproductive health care. Attorney General James is standing up to protect New York’s sovereignty and to ensure that one state’s politics cannot dictate the health care choices of people in another.

Since Roe was overturned, New York has led the nation in safeguarding reproductive rights, enacting one of the strongest shield laws in the country and expanding access to care. Today’s intervention is the latest in Attorney General James’ efforts to defend access to reproductive care and protect reproductive freedom. In July, Attorney General James sued to stop the federal government from defunding Planned Parenthood. In June, Attorney General James filed a petition asking the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to eliminate unnecessary and outdated restrictions on the abortion medication mifepristone. Also in June, Attorney General James led 21 other attorneys general in reminding hospitals of their obligation to provide emergency abortion care. In May, Attorney General James led a multistate effort to protect abortion providers from dangerous certification requirements. In March, Attorney General James won her lawsuit against militant anti-abortion group Red Rose Rescue for blocking access to abortion care in New York. In October 2024, Attorney General James filed an amicus brief urging a federal court to maintain access to emergency abortion care and filed an amicus brief in support of access to Mifepristone. In May 2024, Attorney General James sued an anti-abortion group and 11 crisis pregnancy centers for promoting unproven abortion reversal treatment.

Money in Your Pockets: Governor Hochul Announces MTA Customer Savings Surpasses $100 Million With Commuter Railroad Cityticket Expansion

MTA Sold 37.2 Million CityTickets Since March 2022 Following Expansion to All Off-Peak Trains and Further Expansion to Peak Trains in Late Summer 2023

CityTicket Provides NYC Residents Greater Access to Affordable Commuter Rail Travel Between the Outerboroughs and Manhattan

Milestone Reached as Railroads Experience Record Year of Ridership and Performance

Governor Hochul today announced that Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) customers have saved more than $100 million since March 2022 by using CityTicket to travel within New York City on the Long Island Rail Road or Metro-North Railroad. The savings are measured against the cost of regular one-way peak and off-peak tickets. This milestone comes after Governor Hochul and the MTA expanded the CityTicket program from a weekend-only option to being available on all peak and off-peak trains in recent years.

“The results are in and it is clear: expanding CityTicket has been a huge affordability win for New Yorkers,” Governor Hochul said. “For years, residents of the Bronx, Brooklyn, and Queens had high-quality rail service right at their doorsteps, but the fare was just too high. Not anymore. By making LIRR and Metro-North service more affordable for city riders, we have welcomed millions of new customers, getting New Yorkers out of their cars and onto fast, reliable rail service in and out of Manhattan.”

MTA Chair and CEO Janno Lieber said, “Thirty million customers can’t be wrong – the City Ticket is a smash success, saving New York City residents $100 million, plus a faster commute. It’s another proof point that low cost, reliable transit is one of our most important solutions to the affordability crisis, especially for folks outside Manhattan.”

The savings analysis is based on ticket sales from March 2022 through August 2025. Tickets are $5 off peak hours and $7 during peak hours anywhere within New York City on either LIRR or Metro-North, significantly less than the cost of point-to-point tickets prior to the start of the program. For the Long Island Rail Road, 30.4 million CityTickets were sold, totaling a cost savings of $83.2 million. For Metro-North Railroad, 6.8 million CityTickets were sold, totaling a cost savings of $17.6 million – achieving a combined $100.8 million in savings for customers.

CityTicket was originally introduced in October 2003 for weekend travel. On Feb. 25, 2022, the MTA expanded the CityTicket to all off-peak trains, including those on weekdays, providing more riders with an affordable option. On Jan. 10, 2023, Governor Hochul announced that the MTA would further expand the ticket’s validity to include peak travel, with further details provided subsequently by the MTA.

Between March 2022 and August 2023, the MTA collectively sold 7.5 million CityTickets. When the program was expanded to include peak trains in August of 2023, 29.7 million CityTickets were sold between September 2022 and August 2025.

At a time of surging railroad ridership across the MTA network, CityTicket expansion has seen ridership grow at city stations faster than systemwide baselines. From 2021 to 2025, monthly average ridership across the LIRR has grown 179%, while ridership grew by 183% at Rosedale, 215% at Queens Village, and 224% at Jamaica. Over 766,000 monthly riders now travel to and from Jamaica Station on the LIRR, which includes connection to the JFK AirTrain and the 168 St Bus Terminal, with connections to 10 New York City Transit and five NICE bus routes.

Bronx riders are also benefitting from more affordable Metro-North service. While overall monthly average railroad ridership grew 126% from 2021 to 2025, ridership was up 163% at Tremont and 152% at Spuyten Duyvil.

Today’s announcement comes as the railroads continue to deliver strong performance and reliability, while breaking post pandemic ridership records. The ridership highs across both railroads reflect the increasing customer satisfaction rates and record-breaking on-time performance statistics.

For this year so far, 96.4% of LIRR trains reached their destination on time, the best rate in its history, even surpassing pandemic years. Customer satisfaction with the LIRR reached 81% in the spring of 2025, up five percentage points from the fall of 2024, when it reached 76%, which was itself a six-point increase from spring 2024’s rate of 70%.

On Metro-North, 98.0% of trains have reached their destination on time this year. Metro-North continues to be the MTA’s highest-rated service with 89% of customers reporting being very satisfied or satisfied with Metro-North overall, an increase from 85% in Fall 2024. Satisfaction increased across all lines, up four points to 90% on the Hudson Line, four points to 89% on the Harlem Line, and five points to 89% on the New Haven Line.

MAYOR ADAMS TO DISTRIBUTE 350,000 FREE, BRAND-NEW CHROMEBOOKS WITH INTERNET ACCESS TO PUBLIC SCHOOL STUDENTS, ADVANCING COMMITMENT TO CLOSE DIGITAL DIVIDE, MAKE NYC MORE AFFORDABLE

 

Mayor Adams Doubles Down on Commitment to Academic Success and Bridging Digital Divide in Under-Connected Communities

Devices with Cellular Connectivity Will Ensure Students Are Able to Get Online Wherever They Live

Phased Rollout Will Include Students in 1,700 Public Schools Across Five Boroughs During 2025-2026 School Year

New York City Mayor Eric Adams, New York City Chief Technology Officer (CTO) Matthew Fraser, New York City Public Schools Chancellor Melissa Aviles-Ramos, T-Mobile, Dell Technologies, and New York Yankees All Star Second Baseman, Jazz Chisholm, Jr., today announced that 350,000 K-12 New York City Public Schools students will receive new internet-enabled devices for free during the 2025-2026 school year, as the Adams administration continues to bridge the digital divide and invest in a more affordable city for working-class New Yorkers. The 350,000 students across the nation’s largest public school district will receive LTE or 5G connected Chromebooks with internet access and optimized educational programming to ensure they have the essential tools necessary to succeed in today’s digital learning environment. The proactive, data-driven rollout of this program closes device access gaps in the most affordable way possible for working-class families and replaces outdated equipment that no longer meet current instructional and security standards, while ensuring students have keyboard-enabled devices vital for writing, researching, and completing class assignments. As part of the Adams administration’s continuing efforts to bridge the digital divide, students will be able to use these cellular-connected devices to get online for free wherever they live.

The distribution of these Chromebooks was made possible by the Adams administration after the city came to an agreement with T-Mobile earlier this year to make them a major wireless carrier to support city operations while helping reduce the cost of wireless services for city government employees. As part of the agreement, the 350,000 devices being distributed to students will come equipped with T-Mobile LTE or 5G access.

“Access to reliable technology and high-speed internet is a modern-day necessity, and, right now, too many New York City students don’t have it. That doesn’t just prevent progress inside the classroom, it limits opportunities outside of it — but our administration is changing that and providing our young people with free devices to stay connected in the 21^st century,” said Mayor Adams. “We know that too many families are still struggling with the cost of living and cannot always afford new, internet-enabled devices; that’s why, this school year, we are powering up education in our city by providing 350,000 New York City public school students with brand-new, LTE and 5G enabled Chromebooks. This initiative is another part of our continuing efforts to ensure students’ academic success, bridge the digital divide, and be fiscally responsible with taxpayer dollars. Our administration will continue to work to build a better future for our children, and with this announcement, we are making sure that our young people have all the tools they deserve and the technology they need to go as far as their dreams will take them.”

“As a proud product of New York City Public Schools, I am a testament to the critical role technology access plays in helping our students reach their potential,” said CTO Fraser. “Internet and computer access are essential educational tools both in the classroom and at home. This monumental initiative empowers students across the five boroughs, particularly those in schools with the greatest needs, and reaffirms the Adams administration's unyielding commitment to bridging the digital divide. I commend Mayor Adams' vision and leadership, and thank Chancellor Aviles-Ramos and our corporate partners, T-Mobile and Dell, for helping us to deliver this victory for the nation’s largest school district.”

“As our students graduate into an increasingly connected and tech driven world and workplace, New York City Public Schools is proud to be taking steps to close the digital divide and set our children up for lifelong success,” said Public Schools Chancellor Aviles-Ramos. “LTE and 5G-enabled devices mean that no matter what kind of internet access a student has at home, they’re still able to log on and take advantage of every educational opportunity available to them as we continue to move our city in a more equitable direction.”

“Every student deserves a fair shot at success — and in today’s world, that starts with having reliable connectivity and the right tools to learn,” said Mo Katibeh, chief marketing officer, T-Mobile Business Group. “New York City’s initiative to deliver leading connectivity to 350,000 kids doesn’t just help close the digital divide — it opens doors to opportunity, equity, and brighter futures for families across all five boroughs. And, as the major wireless carrier for New York City, we’re thrilled to be a part of this initiative.”

“We believe technology has the power to be truly transformative when it’s placed in the hands of those shaping the future,” said Pete Trizzino, president of global sales modernization and GTM, Dell Technologies. “Equipping 350,000 New York City students with internet-enabled devices is about far more than just providing laptops, it’s about unlocking potential, fueling curiosity and ensuring every student has the tools they need to succeed. The work we’re doing with the city, its Office of Technology and Innovation, New York City Public Schools and T-Mobile is empowering the next generation to learn, grow, lead and innovate in building a brighter tomorrow.”

“Education is the foundation for everything, and making sure kids have the tools they need to learn and dream big is something I care deeply about,” said Jazz Chisholm Jr., New York Yankees All Star Second Baseman. “That’s why I’ve been involved in efforts to uplift youth through sports and education through my foundation, the Jazz Chisholm Foundation, and it’s why I’m proud to see programs like this bringing real opportunities to students right here in the Bronx. When our kids win in the classroom, the whole community wins.”

Personal computer devices, such as Chromebooks, are a necessity, not a luxury, for today’s public-school students and are essential to New York City Public Schools’ foremost academic, accessibility, and equity goals. The rollout of 350,000 devices over the coming months will focus on meeting the needs of students who require keyboard-equipped devices for academic instruction and assessments. Regular device usage will prepare students with 21^st-century skills, including typing, online research, and responsible internet use.

The Chromebooks will support Google Workspace, New York City Public Schools-approved apps, and state assessment platforms — all of which are central to the school system’s digital curriculum. Devices will allow seamless learning between school and home, regardless of students’ locations. This will be particularly important for students in temporary housing or those living in under-connected communities where home access to a computer may be limited. An estimated 31 percent of Bronx households — the highest of any borough — lack access to a household computer, according to a recent report by the Center for an Urban Future.

All Chromebooks will be configured and enrolled using Google Management Console, which applies New York City Public Schools enterprise settings to ensure secure, standardized access across all devices. Key applications pre-loaded on devices will include:

• Google Workspace for Education: Features widely used programs across New York City Public Schools for instruction, assignments, collaboration, and communication.
• TeachHub: New York City Public Schools’ secure, single sign-on portal for students, teachers, and staff — providing centralized access to digital learning applications, instructional resources, announcements, and integrated tools like Google Classroom, Clever, and iLearnNYC.
• iLearnNYC: Provides access to digital curriculum materials, personalized learning platforms, and New York City Public Schools-approved content aligned to standards.

Devices will come equipped with T-Mobile LTE or 5G access as part of the city’s agreement with T-Mobile earlier this year to become a major wireless carrier to support city operations. In addition to providing students internet access on these Chromebooks, the agreement with T-Mobile saves city taxpayers millions of dollars over the course of the five-year deal on city-issued devices and puts money back into the pockets of the city workforce by offering discounted personal plans through T-Mobile. The partnership also ensures that city employees have access to cutting-edge technology and reliable service to best serve their fellow New Yorkers.

LTE and 5G connected Chromebooks in students’ homes also means that more New Yorkers will receive dependable internet access — an essential resource to fully participate in modern life.

Under the Adams administration, New York City provides more residents with free high-speed internet access than any other city in the nation through Big Apple Connect, the largest municipally subsidized broadband program in the nation. Big Apple Connect offers free access to in-home internet and basic cable TV to 330,000 New Yorkers living across 220 New York City Housing Authority sites and saves subscribers more than $1,700 per year on average. As part of its digital equity initiatives, the Adams administration also supplies free access to internet, devices, and digital skills training at more than 450 public computer centers across the five boroughs.

Today’s announcement comes just one month after Mayor Adams and Chancellor Aviles-Ramos celebrated a substantial increase in reading and math scores for public school children, grades 3 through 8, in the 2024-2025 school year. Under the Adams administration, core educational accomplishments include instituting nation-leading dyslexia screenings for all students, adding 57 Gifted and Talented programs, helping 13,658 students complete work-based learning experiences for the 2024-2025 school year through FutureReadyNYC, cementing new labor contracts for teachers and other education officials, investing $167 million in new funding to secure critical early childhood education programs, dramatically increasing early childhood education enrollment to 150,000 children across the city’s system, and securing mayoral accountability twice in three years while investing $180 million to implement a comprehensive class size reduction plan that provides more individualized care to students.

The multi-state Powerball jackpot started building on June 2, 2025 and culminated with the September 6, 2025 drawing for $1.787 billion.

Plus, more than 100 lucky New Yorkers won life-changing prizes during the three-month run. The New York Lottery is proud to deliver such fun, beneficial, and lucrative games for New Yorkers of legal age to enjoy.”
