President Trump traveled to Long Island, New York on Wednesday to host a summit about MS-13 with local leaders.
Also invited were the parents of teenagers Kayla Cuevas and Nisa Mickens.
The two girls were slaughtered by MS-13 gang members last September.
The girls were hacked to death with machetes.
The murders of the two Brentwood, New York teenagers Kayla Cuevas and Nisa Mickens in September 2016 shocked the community and galvanized law enforcement.
Cuevas was involved in a series of disputes with MS-13 gang members on social media.
So on the evening of September 13, 2016, several MS-13 members attacked the two girls with baseball bats and a machete, striking the girls numerous times in the head and body.
Cuevas’s body was discovered the following day behind a home near the attack.
The parents of the two girls attended President Trump’s meeting today on Long Island.
Elisabeth Rodriquez, the mother of Kayla Cuevas, thanked President Trump for listening to her.
Ms. Rodriquez told President Trump, “You said the other day that these individuals are animals. You’re correct. They are animals in how they kill. And how they get these kids and they torture them.”

Elizabeth Rodriguez, mother of a child slain by MS-13. tells president he was right in calling the gang members “animals.” She says they took her daughter’s dreams away. Says no parent should have to go through the ordeal of a murdered child, like she did. pic.twitter.com/0msuBIp0Nq
