(TheLastPatriotNews.com) – The haunting shadow of gang violence in America has reared its ugly head as a leading MS-13 member confesses to mercilessly taking seven lives.

Jairo Saenz, a senior MS-13 gang figure, pleaded guilty to seven murders in federal court in Central Islip, Long Island.
Most notorious among these killings are the tragic deaths of two teenage girls in Brentwood, New York, in 2016.
The confession marks a pivotal step in dismantling the gang’s influence, a scourge that has plagued Long Island for years, ABC7 New York stresses in a report.
Jairo Saenz admitted his involvement as a driver during many attacks, highlighting his active role in the gang’s reign of terror.
His guilty plea encompasses racketeering and weapons charges, painting a chilling picture of a gang enterprise deeply entrenched in organized crime.
His brother, Alexi Saenz, had already pleaded guilty to eight murders, demonstrating the gang’s familial ties in their operations, The New York Post reports.
MS-13’s brutality came to national attention after the gruesome murders of Kayla Cuevas and Nisa Mickens.
The teenagers, aged 16, were gruesomely attacked with a machete and a baseball bat following a high school altercation.
Acting US Attorney Carolyn Pokorny described the murders as acts that turned Long Island into a warzone: “Today, Jairo Saenz pleaded guilty to seven murders that can only be described as barbaric, and multiple acts of senseless gang violence that had turned parts of Long Island into a war zone.”
Saenz’s repeated claims of remorse, admitting he knew his wrongdoing, have done little to dampen the community’s anger or the victims’ family’s grief.
George Johnson, who lost his son to similar violence, expressed a desire for more significant justice, “It was some justice, but not what I wanted.”
Elizabeth Alvarado, mother of Nisa Mickens, continues to search for peace amid her sorrow.

Former President Donald Trump seized on these horrific murders as evidence of the need for more stringent immigration policies, calling for Saenz’s execution.
This crime wave underscores the importance of rigorous enforcement and community involvement to prevent future tragedies.
Jairo Saenz faces a potential 40 to 60-year prison sentence.
As we await sentencing on June 13, a community in mourning hopes that justice might finally overcome the darkness cast by gangs like MS-13.
Despite the guilty plea being part of a bargain, family members left the courthouse with a mix of relief and frustration.
While celebrations might seem premature, the plea represents a significant victory in the ongoing fight to restore peace in stricken communities.
