A dangerous member of the violent drug gang MS-13 was recently arrested thanks to intelligence provided by the National Counterterrorism Center (NCTC), The Daily Wire can first report.
The NCTC, which operates under National Intelligence Director Tulsi Gabbard, provided intelligence that helped Border Patrol track down and arrest Jonathan Ezequiel Portillo Beltran in Los Angeles on August 14. Beltran was a member of MS-13, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence told The Daily Wire.
“Our team works to ensure law enforcement officers have operational intelligence they need when encountering suspected terrorists like Beltran. Thanks to this work, the days of terrorists living freely within our borders are over,” NCTC Director Joe Kent said.
Kent added that the National Counterterrorism Center “stepped up to surge resources and personnel to counter terrorist cartels and gangs” in response to President Donald Trump’s executive actions to designate drug cartels as terrorist organizations.
“Because of President Trump’s designation and NCTC and Law Enforcement coordination efforts, fentanyl deaths are at an all-time low,” he said.
