The White House has paid tribute to Sheridan Gorman, an 18-year-old Loyola college student who was brutally murdered by a 25-year-old Venezuelan migrant. According to the family's attorney, Gorman was shot dead by Jose Medina-Medina last Thursday while she and a group of friends walked to the pier at Tobey Prinz Beach to see the Northern Lights.
The White House has attributed Gorman's murder to failed border and sanctuary city policies, stating that Medina-Medina was released into the U.S. in 2023 under the Biden administration. In an Instagram post, the White House said, 'A preventable tragedy. Sheridan Gorman was murdered by an illegal alien released into the U.S. in 2023 under the Biden administration — a direct result of failed border & sanctuary city policies.'
Donald Trump has also weighed in on the case, saying that the incident highlights the need for ramped up immigration enforcement efforts. 'This person came in through the open door policy of [former President] Joe Biden and we have others,' Trump said. 'We're taking them out by the tens of thousands. We're doing a great job, but it's a shame.'
Medina-Medina is facing first-degree murder and weapon charges, according to ABC 7. He was arrested shortly after Gorman's murder using facial recognition software to compare images from surveillance footage to U.S. Customs and Border Protection records.
