President Donald Trump will visit Suffolk County on Friday to address the presence of the violent MS-13 gang on Long Island.

Republican Congressman Peter King says that the president plans to discuss issues that law enforcement faces in their effort to eliminate the threat of gang violence on Long Island.

The gang is responsible for 11 killings on Long Island over the past year.

The Trump administration promised earlier this year to “demolish” MS-13, who Trump has referenced as a serious threat in the United States.
