This internal migration has coincided with a spike in the number of UACs arriving in the United States. Many of these UACs have settled in areas where the MS13 has a presence, and a significant number have been charged with crimes in or near the areas where they settled.

InSight Crime and CLALS / MS13 in the Americas 61 position these migrants. Some experts even said the migrants were “coached” by the leaders, so they could successfully get past US immigration officials ^[2]
