Nassau cops cuff nearly 40 MS-13 gang members accused of terrorizing Long Island as territory beefs heat up
Forty? I’m impressed. But will they be allowed to keep them in lock-up until they’re convicted and sent back whence they came?
[NYPOST] Sword-wielding MS-13 thugs who have been terrorizing Long Islanders for years have been rounded up as part of a sweeping Nassau County crackdown of nearly 40 of the notorious gang's street soldiers — on attempted murder, weapons and illicit drug charges.

Included in the massive bust were five college-aged thugs — accused of being part of the deadly MS-13's Hempstead Locos Salvatruchas branch — who were allegedly responsible for a machete and knife attack that wounded six during a soccer game in broad daylight at the town's Kennedy Memorial Park last October.

The attack was so gruesome that one victim needed his gallbladder removed and his diaphragm and liver surgically repaired, authorities said.

The victims ranged in age between 20 and 51.

''We are removing dangerous criminals and gang members from our communities and will continue to fight to keep Nassau County the safest county in America,'' Republican Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman told The Post.

Purported El Salvadorian sect leader Ellias Wilfredo Serrano Bonilla, 21, was brought up on eight counts of attempted murder and a laundry list of weapons, robbery and assault charges over the brazen assault on the pitch.

Bonilla, who calls East Meadow home, is believed to have entered the US illegally sometime prior to 2016, and was previously arrested in Nassau on first-degree assault and gang assault charges in early 2020, according to authorities.

Accomplices in the attack, Edras Daniel Velasquez Giron, 19, Jeffrey Bladimir Valladares Archaga, 20, Pedro Martinez Velasquez, 18, and Kelvin Martinez, 19, are all facing charges related to the harrowing incident.

Giron and Archaga, who are both from Honduras, also crossed the US border illegally during Joe Biden's term in the White House, according to Nassau officials.

Last December, Bonilla, Velasquez and Martinez, along with two others — 24-year-old Kennet Contreras and 18-year-old Edwin Patzan Piri — used machetes and white pipes to allegedly attack a pair of people parked outside a Uniondale laundromat.

''MS-13 has a long and violent history in New York, particularly on Long Island, where its members have terrorized communities for decades,'' Nassau District Attorney Anne Donnelly, a Republican, said in announcing the charges on Monday.
