Chicago Official Sparks Outrage Over Shooting Remarks
Clear Facts
- A Chicago official suggested an 18-year-old murder victim may have startled the shooter.
- The suspect, Jose Medina-Medina, was described by ICE as having entered illegally and later being released.
- Officials say an immigration detainer has now been issued in the case.
Chicago Alderwoman Maria Hadden appeared to shift responsibility onto Sheridan Gorman after the Loyola University freshman was fatally shot. Hadden said the victim and her friends may have unintentionally startled the gunman.
“And it sounds like this might have been a wrong place, wrong time, running into a person who had a gun, they might have unintentionally startled this person, I think.”
Police arrested Jose Medina-Medina for the murder, identifying him as an illegal alien who was released into the interior under the current administration. Despite a prior shoplifting arrest in Chicago, he remained free due to lenient local policies.
“Sheridan Gorman’s life was allegedly taken from her at the hands of a criminal alien shielded by the anti-American sanctuary policies of the city of Chicago and the state of Illinois.”
ICE officials have now issued an immigration detainer for Medina-Medina. They are calling on Chicago politicians to honor the request.
The tragic loss highlights the ongoing danger posed by sanctuary city protocols that protect foreign criminals over American citizens.

These Sanctuary places need shutting down and the officials who brought them into being arrested for aiding and abetting criminal activity. These sickening areas are infecting the UK right now and people are sick of this protecting criminals over the safety of the citizens.
