Introduction:

One of the most notorious gangs worldwide, Mara Salvatrucha, started in Los Angeles, CA by Salvadorans who escaped and found themselves alone in a different country. They banded together, and once they were deported from the United States they brought their gangs home with them. El Salvador has two large rival gangs, Mara Salvatrucha and Mara 18. ................
