Tuesday night, President Trump honored the parents of 15-year-old Nisa Mickens, who was killed by the MS-13 gang.

Last September, her father, David, dropped her off at her best friend's house.  That was the last time she was seen alive.

Her "badly beaten and cut" body was discovered later that evening - a day before her sixteenth birthday.  The dead body of her best friend, Kayla Cuevas, was discovered the following day.

Authorities pinned the murders on the gang MS-13, which has infested Mickens' former school and Long Island community.  Nine other teenagers have been killed by gang violence in the area since the school year began.

David Mickens decided to do something to fight back, so he ran for the school board.

"You hear from students and parents, they have concerns over about what is going down at the school," Mickens said. "Me being a father who lost his daughter, I think I could probably help other kids and make a difference."

The pandemic of MS-13 in Long Island has even garnered the attention of President Trump, who blamed lax immigration policies for letting "criminal scum" slip through.  Attorney General Jeff Sessions visited Long Island late last month and announced that he would do everything to eradicate the gang.

Nickens did not win the election, but he's glad he tried.

"I just thought I needed to do something to make it better for other kids, to do more," he said.  

Eight candidates ran for school board, one of them was Bryan Greaves, the pastor who delivered the eulogy for young Nisa.

"I want to get to the heart of the matter," said Bryan Greaves.  "I don't want to bury another child. I don't want to have to counsel another family. I do not want to have to try to raise a GoFundMe for a family to bury a child."
