More information is need to determine whether or not immigration reform would have aided in this situation.

Yeah and full blooded American gang members do worse every day in America.
This has nothing to so with immigration or Trump IMO. This is just crazies being crazies.
I used to be like you and try to justify and make all kinds of excuses for why people like this turned out to be such horrific violent evil s.o.b.'s. If only this....if only that.....baloney!
When you become an adult you know the difference between right and wrong, good and downright evil. People like these two scumdogs LIKE evil....they are psychos that made a choice and they deserve ZERO mercy.
A person that kidnaps young teens, tortures, rapes over and over, beheads people, murders, and commits all manner of vile acts is just like a terrorist. They are no better than ISIS, and they deserve the same exact treatment. Jail is too good for these men...and I use that term loosely. Actually, they are worse than any animal.

My answer to these issues is not to kill people. I am unapologetically pro-life. The crimes, criminals, and criminal gangs you refer to are as abhorrent to me as they are to you. What is fueling the ability of these gangs to grow so big and powerful? As the saying goes, follow the money. It is the illegal drug trade that fuels this. Without it, there would still be gangs and crime and violence, but it would be a lot less attractive when the money is reduced. It simply could not continue to fund the numbers of gang members.
Portugal has de-criminalized all drugs and has decided to treat drug addiction as a health problem and not a crime problem. Their rate of addiction has decreased.
This will not happen in America because of the money involved in enforcing the drug laws and in the private prison system that warehouses these people. I've stated this on ATS before, but look at the major drug waves in the US. '___' and other psychedelics were fed to the US by the CIA. The coc aine routes were created and serviced by the CIA: KIll The Messenger. Hell, the worst of the Mexican cartels, Los Zetas, were all trained in the US in commando tactics. And do you really think the explosion of opiate addiction, fueled by poppies grown in Afghanistan, occurring after America invaded there is just a coincidence?
Legalize and tax drugs. Use that money as well as the reduced funding to the DEA, ATF, etc. to fund treatment and recovery, and it will go a long way toward reducing the amount of violence we are experiencing as a result of these criminal gangs.
In my experience, violence begets violence. The value of human life is reduced by murder, wether it is committed by an individual or a government.
