Five prisoners accused of the attack are illegally in the United States.
“The attack occurred at 9:45am on Friday, May 2. Five of the six prisoners involved in the attack were confirmed as MS-13 gang members from El Salvador who were illegal in the country.
“The other inmates involved in the attack are confirmed members of the Threno 13 gang, members from the United States and are sentenced to second murder.”
In total, five officers moved outside for treatment. Three people were discharged from the hospital, including two who suffered minor injuries while responding to the attack.
The two officers are still in the hospital and are in “stable,” Vadoc said.

The Virginia attack is currently under investigation, and Vadoc refused to provide details of the incident until the probe was completed.
“The five individuals responsible for this pointless attack must have been in this country in the first place,” said Chad Dotson, director of Vadoc.
“Every day, our officers risk their lives to ensure the public safety of more than 8.8 million people across the Union.

The Epoch Times reached out to Vadoc for additional comments.
Elimination of illegal immigration

The arrests include “2,288 gang members from Tren de Aragua, MS-13, 18th Street and other gangs. Additionally, 1,329 people have been accused or convicted of sexual offences and 498 have been accused or convicted of murder. “We have only 100 days in this administration, thanks to President Trump and Secretary Noem, ICE is at our disposal to enforce immigration laws in our country and protect our communities.”
However, the administration faces important legal challenges in its enforcement efforts.
The order, an amendment to an earlier injunction issued by a judge on April 18, places a hindrance to Washington’s attempt to deport criminals from Guantanamo Bay.
His comments came after a district judge issued a ruling on April 9th prevented the government from using alien enemy laws to banish people.
Homan pushed back the court’s decision. “Maybe we have to refrain from some of the deportation operations we are undertaking, but we are not going to stop them from taking them off the streets of the United States while we now seek these people, arrest them, and waiting for the court to decide,” he said.
