President Donald Trump has hailed the arrest of a top MS-13 gang leader in Virginia on Thursday.

“Just captured a major leader of MS13. Tom Homan is a superstar,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. Homan is the White House border czar in charge of the deportation of illegal migrants.

In a separate post, Trump added: “Great job by Pam Bondi, FBI Director Kash Patel, Tom Homan, and Kristi N, on the capture of MS13 leader – A big deal!”

The arrest took place in Woodbridge, Virginia, just south of Washington D.C.. The authorities are yet to reveal the suspect’s name, but he is reported to be one of the top three gang leaders in the U.S., according to Fox News.
