DONALD Trump's administration has directed two intelligence agencies to train satellites to monitor the US-Mexico border following a significant gang-related arrest.
Law enforcement announced that they captured a major leader of the MS-13 gang, motivating Trump to continue his goal of illegal immigration and drug cartels.
The National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency and the National Reconnaissance Office oversee spy satellites and will reportedly be involved in Trump's operation, Reuters reported.
While the government has long used satellites to monitor the border, sources say these new satellites can use AI to find persons of interest.
The NGA told the outlet it created a special task force to “support the US border mission,” and the NRO said it is partnering with intelligence agencies “to secure US borders.”
The Department of Defense border engagement, coupled with Trump's increased security on the US-Mexico border, came as the president declared a national emergency in the area.
On Thursday, police arrested the 24-year-old suspect, who remains unnamed but is said to be one of the top three leaders of the gang.
The suspect was caught just outside of Washington D.C. in Woodbridge, Virginia.
“[Law enforcement] executed a clean, safe operation and the bad guys in custody. And thanks to the FBI, we got one of the worst of the worst of the MS-13 off the streets this morning. Virginia and the country is a lot safer today,” Attorney General Pam Bondi told Fox News.
The FBI operation was executed with the help of the Prince William County Police Department, ATF, ICE, and the Virginia State Police.
President Donald Trump praised the arrest and celebrated all those who made it happen.
“Just captured a major leader of MS13. Tom HOMAN is a superstar!”Trumpwrote on social media.
FBI director Kash Patel said, “America should be watching” all that unfolded with the MS-13 arrest.
“This is what can happen when you put good cops in good places to take on bad guys,” Patel said.
“We are proud to be here standing with these brave warriors.”
The major MS-13 arrest is the latest in the Trump administration's targeting of dangerous gangs and drug-trafficking rings.
