CENTRAL ISLIP, NY - APRIL 28: Police pass a group of protesters outside of the venue where Attorney General Jeff Sessions was to speak to local, state and federal law enforcement about a recent spate of gang related killings on April 28, 2017 in Central Islip, New York. Since the start of the school year the violent street gang MS-13 has been blamed for 11 deaths of mostly young people in residential Brentwood and neighboring Central Islip. The bodies have often been found in wooded areas and vacant lots. Sessions, who takes a tough stance on law and order, vowed to bring the gang leaders to justice.
