Francisco Javier Roman-Bardales, a senior leader of the violent MS-13 gang, was extradited from Mexico to the United States to face charges after FBI Director Kash Patel announced yesterday that another fugitive from the agency’s “Ten Most Wanted” list had been apprehended. Roman-Bardales was wanted “for his alleged role in drug distribution and extortion schemes in the United States and El Salvador, as well as his role in ordering numerous acts of violence against civilians and rival gang members.”

Since President Trump took office, the ruthless criminal has been captured, making him the third fugitive on the FBI’s “Ten Most Wanted” list.On January 30, 2025, Arnoldo Jimenez, a fugitive wanted on first-degree murder charges, was taken into custody.
On January 25, 2025, Donald Eugene Fields II, a wanted man on suspicion of child rape and child sex trafficking, was taken into custody.

To ensure the safety of the American people, the Trump Administration will do whatever it takes.
