A week after the murder of 11-year-old AbbieGail "Abbie" Smith in Keansburg, the girl's grief-stricken father and sister in Jamaica made an impassioned plea to President Donald Trump to allow them into the U.S. to attend the girl's funeral Monday.
In an exclusive video to APP.com, father Kenroy Smith tearfully asked Trump to intervene after AbbieGail's older sister Kenish had her visa application denied. The visa for Kenroy, who had previously been deported from the U.S. on a drug charge 16 years ago, remained in limbo.
The Smiths said they were desperate to come to Keansburg to pay their final respects to AbbieGail and to see where she had been fatally stabbed last week. They feared they would miss their only chance to say goodbye.
"My dear little AbbieGail was taken away and I need to pay my last respects to her," Kenroy Smith said breaking down in tears. "That's all I'm asking."
