Accused MS-13 leader nabbed by Patel's FBI to remain in custody for now, judge rules

An accused MS-13 leader will remain in federal custody after a judge found probable cause to support the government’s case against him.

U.S. Magistrate Judge William Porter of the Eastern District of Virginia made the ruling Tuesday during a detention hearing for Henrry Josue Villatoro Santos, a 24-year-old Salvadoran national arrested last week in suburban Virginia.

The FBI announced Santos’s arrest on March 27 in Woodbridge, just south of Washington, D.C. He has been charged with being an illegal alien in possession of a firearm.
