Earlier this year, 18-year-old college student Sheridan Gorman was murdered in cold blood by an illegal immigrant near the university she was attending in Chicago, IL.
It was yet the latest example of a tragic and entirely preventable loss of life caused by the dangerous, open-border policies of previous administrations.
You see, Gorman’s killer had entered the country illegally under the Biden administration.
He was eventually arrested.
But, under Chicago’s sanctuary city policies, he was released right back onto the streets, where he would later claim the life of an innocent, young American woman.
Today, President Trump invited Sheridan Gorman’s family to speak at his rally in New York.
Her father, Tom Gorman, absolutely went ballistic on Democrats for their failed policies that resulted in his daughter’s murder.
Watch what he had to say here:
🚨 Sheridan Gorman's father is absolutely TORCHING Democrats on stage with Trump

Sheridan Gorman’s father is absolutely TORCHING Democrats on stage with Trump
“I’m not a politician. I’m not a public speaker. I’m a father whose daughter was MURDERED by an illegal.”
“I’m a husband who had to hold his wife on Mother’s Day when she asked the question no mother should ever have to ask: “am I still the mother of two?”
“Yes, Jess, you’re still the mother of two because Sheridan will always be our daughter. No mother should ever have to ask that question, and no father should ever have to answer it. This is what FAILED POLICIES have done to our family.”
“NO FAMILY should have to become experts in immigration failures, release policies, warrants, sanctuary laws, enforcement breakdowns because their daughter was KlLLED by someone who should NOT have been here, and should NOT be free.”

Sheridan’s mother, Jessica, also delivered some poignant, heartbreaking remarks at the rally:

BREAKING: Jessica Gorman, the mother of slain Sheridan Gorman, delivers a powerful rebuke of far-left sanctuary policies, saying that her daughter’s life was stolen by an illegal migrant who should have never been released into the community:
“No mother should ever have to wonder if her child called out for her in her final moments.”
“No mother should ever have to imagine her baby lying alone and bleeding on the cold pavement.”
“No family should ever have to bury a child because public officials failed to put innocent American lives first.”
“Please, please support leaders and policies that protect your child and mine. Because a city, a state, or a country that does not protect its children has lost its way. And together, we must be brave enough to demand that it find its way back.”
All Democrat lawmakers should be forced to watch this.
They would do well to listen to what these heartbroken parents have to say, and to act accordingly to ensure no other family has to go through losing a child in such a horrific way.
This couldn’t be more true:
Democrat sanctuary lawsfree killers and destroy American families like this one
Trump gives these heartbroken parents a powerful voice while Democrats shield the criminals.
