Mammoth trial of the notorious MS-13 gang: 485 members face thousands of years in prison

El Salvador is set to deliver verdicts for 485 alleged leaders of the MS-13 gang, who face over 47,420 charges including homicide and drug trafficking. While the government seeks massive sentencing, human rights groups have raised concerns regarding due process. Meanwhile, Colombia has joined the U.S.-led 'Shield of the Americas' alliance to combat cartels with $1 billion in funding, and Mexican media organizations are demanding better protections after a surge in journalist killings.
