Evelyn Rodriguez, whose daughter’s killing, allegedly at the hands of MS-13 gang members, transformed the Brentwood mother into a vocal youth advocate, said she will attend President Donald Trump’s Tuesday State of the Union address as a White House guest.
“I feel very honored that I was invited,” Rodriguez said Sunday night from Washington, D.C. “It’s a great privilege.”
The White House did not immediately respond to inquiries seeking comment.
Rodriguez’s daughter Kayla Cuevas, was 16 when she and a friend, Nisa Mickens, 15 — both students at Brentwood High School — were brutally bludgeoned to death with bats and machetes by MS-13 gang members, authorities have said.
