Sheridan Gorman was tragically killed at the hands of an illegal alien, and her family is devastated.
This innocent young American should still be alive today— and protecting public safety should be a nonpartisan issue.
It’s SHAMEFUL and INEXCUSABLE that Democrats would rather prioritize illegal aliens like Sheridan’s killer than the safety and security of the American people.

Analysis Summary
Sheridan Gorman, an 18-year-old Loyola University Chicago freshman, was shot and killed in March 2026, allegedly by a man authorities say was in the U.S. illegally — that core fact is confirmed by CBS News and other outlets. Johnson uses the tragedy to claim Democrats prioritize illegal immigrants over public safety, which is partisan framing rather than a factual claim. Missing context: studies from Cato Institute and others consistently show immigrants, including undocumented ones, commit violent crimes at lower rates than native-born citizens, so individual tragedies don't support the broader policy narrative. The specific case of why the accused wasn't transferred to ICE involves Illinois sanctuary policies, which is the actual policy dispute underneath the rhetoric.

“Sheridan Gorman was killed at the hands of an illegal alien”
CBS News and other outlets confirm Gorman, a Loyola freshman, was shot and killed allegedly by a man authorities say entered the U.S. illegally.
“Democrats would rather prioritize illegal aliens like Sheridan's killer than the safety and security of the American people”
Partisan characterization, not a factual claim. Democrats have not stated they prioritize illegal immigrants over public safety.
