     The nation's Supreme Court has ruled that the appointment of Security Minister David Mungia Payes was illegal...possibly ending a year-long truce between 60,000 members of MS-13 and Calle 18 gangs.
      Mungia Payes negotiated the shaky truce...last year along with the Catholic Church.
      Since then the number of murders has plummeted.
