Governor Reacts To Suspected MS-13 Gang Leader Nebraska Arrest

Governor Jim Pillen releases a statement after the Justice Department Tuesday announced the arrest of Gerson Emir Cuadra Soto, an accused leader of the MS-13 gang and accused Honduran assassin, living illegally in Grand Island.

“Joe Biden’s immigration policies failed the American people — and continues to put innocent Nebraskans directly in danger,” said Gov. Pillen. “Cuadra Soto, a leader of the terrorist MS-13 gang and Honduran assassin, entered the United States illegally in 2022 under Biden’s watch — eventually obtaining a California driver’s license before establishing a residence in Grand Island.

Here’s the simple truth: Weak borders put our families at risk. Thankfully, under conservative Republican leadership, our border has never been more secure. I’m proud to partner with President Trump and his team of border security hawks, including Border Czar Tom Homan and Secretary Kristi Noem as their teams track down these criminal illegal aliens and make them pay for their crimes.”
