Freddy Ivan Jandres-Parada had been on the run since December 2020, when the US Attorney’s Office in the Eastern District of New York indicted him and more than a dozen other members of MS-13’s “board of directors” on terrorism charges.
Jandres-Parada was nabbed by FBI agents in San Diego on March 7, according to officials. He waived his right to bail the next day, CNN reported.
