In a sickening display of political cowardice, Illinois Governor JB Pritzker and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson are launching a coordinated smear campaign against President Trump over the brutal murder of student Sheridan Gorman—killed by an illegal immigrant in their own sanctuary city.
Rather than taking responsibility for the deadly consequences of their open-border policies, these radical Democrats are pointing fingers at the President who's actually trying to SOLVE the crisis they created.
Let's be crystal clear about what happened here: A young American student is dead because Chicago's Democrat leadership rolled out the red carpet for criminal aliens. Their sanctuary city policies protected this killer from deportation, and now they want to blame Trump for cleaning up their mess?
The Audacity Is Breathtaking
Pritzker and Johnson have turned Chicago into a magnet for illegal immigration, spending taxpayer dollars to house, feed, and protect foreign nationals while American citizens suffer the consequences. When Trump launches his promised mass deportation operations to remove dangerous criminals, these same Democrats cry about "family separation."
Now an innocent student is dead, and instead of admitting their policies failed, they're launching political attacks on the President who warned this would happen.
"This is exactly why President Trump won a mandate to secure our borders and remove criminal aliens," said one administration source. "Democrat sanctuary cities are getting Americans killed."
The Trump administration's deportation operations can't come fast enough. While Pritzker and Johnson play politics with tragedy, President Trump is delivering on his promise to put American safety first.
America First Means American Lives Matter
Every day these sanctuary policies remain in place, more American families are at risk. Sheridan Gorman should be alive today, studying for exams and planning her future. Instead, she's another victim of Democrat immigration policies that prioritize foreign criminals over American citizens.
When will these radical Democrats stop protecting illegal aliens and start protecting the Americans who elected them? How many more Sheridan Gormans have to die before they admit their sanctuary city experiment is a deadly failure?
