Niño De Hollywood, El

As a boy, Miguel Angel Tobar fled to a small town in El Salvador torn apart by warring guerrillas and US-backed death squads. As a teen in Los Angeles, he faced discrimination and beatings by joining a gang, MS-13. By the time the US deported him to San Salvador, the Hollywood Kid joined a wave of US-bred gangsters, whose violence in concert with corrupt officials had in turn helped propel new waves of refugees.
