The MS-13 gang linked to a series of brutal murders on Long Island apparently exploited "loopholes" in the Obama-era Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) policy to infiltrate thousands of foot soldiers into the United States, according to an analysis of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrests of illegals.

ICE officials recently revealed 99 of the 475 illegals arrested in the agency's "Operation Matador" enforcement action on Long Island last year were "confirmed as MS-13 gang members" who gained entrance to the United States via the unaccompanied minors program.
