BROWARD COUNTY, FL – A coordinated traffic stop between the Florida Highway Patrol (FHP) and U.S. Border Patrol agents led to the arrest of a known gang member last week in Broward County.

During the stop, officers identified one of the individuals as a confirmed member of the 18th Street Gang from Guatemala, a violent transnational criminal organization. The suspect had previously been removed from the United States twice.

Authorities confirmed the individual is now facing federal prosecution and will be deported back to Guatemala following the legal process.

The operation highlights ongoing efforts by state and federal agencies to intercept gang activity and uphold immigration laws.

“We remain committed to protecting Florida’s communities from dangerous individuals and criminal organizations,” said an FHP spokesperson.
