The reasons for the transfer are not yet clear. Authorities have not released specific details regarding the move. However, the situation underscores the challenges faced by both the U.S. and El Salvador in dealing with gang violence and illegal immigration.

The gang is known for its brutal violence and involvement in various criminal activities, including drug trafficking, extortion, and murder.
