Initially bound by a love of heavy metal music, the group soon took on a harder edge, selling drugs, stealing cars and killing rivals. Gang members like Alex were incarcerated and deported. But in the prison system, the group only grew stronger.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eToday, MS-13 is one of the most infamous street gangs on earth--and also largely misunderstood.
