WASHINGTON — Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche authorized federal prosecutors in Los Angeles to seek the death penalty against three MS-13 gang members charged with slaying an FBI informant, according to an April 8 letter obtained by The Post. First Assistant US Attorney Bill Essayli said Thursday that after receiving the missive, his office would pursue capital punishment against Dennis Anaya Urias, Grevil Zelaya Santiago, and Roberto Carlos Aguilar after each was charged last year with one count of murder in aid of racketeering. The trio — who were also charged with two counts apiece for conspiracy to retaliate against a witness — have been in federal custody since their arrest in May 2025 as part of a racketeering and methamphetamine trafficking case.
