A Washington Post report warned that the male-dominated MS-13 gang is "Americanizing" and recruiting more female members to join.
Sheriff Chuck Jenkins, who has been combating MS-13 in Frederick County, Maryland said on "Fox & Friends" Tuesday that the gang's threat is growing.
"I think we shouldn't downplay this and call it 'Americanization,'" he said. "This is a build-out of a transnational organization."
"We should take it seriously because these women can be just as vicious, if not more so, than the men," he added.
The Post reported that thousands of girls have fled from El Salvador due to the fear of gang rape, prostitution or murder.
