The “worst of the worst’’ MS-13 leader busted a half-hour from the US Capitol on Thursday was recruited by the killer gang while still in middle school, officials said — as they released his stone-cold mugshot.
Henrry Josue Villatoro Santos, a 24-year-old illegal migrant and accused gang kingpin from El Salvador, was nabbed hiding in his mother’s home in Woodbridge, Va.
“We believe he was recruited in middle school — in middle school!” US Attorney General Pam Bondi told “The Ingraham Angle’’ on Thursday night.
“He’s been living here illegally with friends and family, and the Biden administration did absolutely nothing to deport these people,’’ the AG said. “You know, as [President Trump] says, we didn’t need new laws, we needed a new president to fix this.”
The cold-blooded gang leader — who stared chillingly into the camera for his mugshot — had a cache of weapons stashed in his room when caught, authorities said.
Among them was a handy compact Taurus G2c pistol sitting in open view on his bed with “TAURUS ARMAS MADE IN BRAZIL” stamped along its slide.
Three other guns, as well as ammo and silencers, were found in the garage room as well, officials said.
“He was one of the top leaders, and he was living half an hour from where we’re sitting right now, living among us,” Bondi said of the suspect, who was picked up as part of a massive sweep of illegal migrants this month.
Santos, who had been living illegally in the US for about the past decade, was taken into custody on an outstanding immigration warrant and is being held on weapons raps.
“We took one of the worst of the worst off the streets today,’’ Bondi said.
“Make no mistake — he was one of the top leaders, heading up all MS-13 violent crimes on the East Coast. He was responsible for heinous acts, and he should never have been in this country,” she said.
