They saw Bonilla driving with “defective brake lamps,” and, during the stop, realized he was a reported MS-13 gang member wanted by El Salvadoran authorities for homicide, according to the statement. 

Bonilla was taken into custody without incident, according to the LPD. 

He was then handed over to federal immigration authorities and transferred to the Boone County Jail in Burlington, Kentucky, according to ICE records.
