Trump administration takes on Democrats

Taking on Democrats, Acting Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis. said that “open border policies and sanctuary politicians” failed Gorman, as they released the “illegal aliens twice” before he decided to take the student’s life.

Sheridan Gorman had her whole life ahead of her before this cold-blooded killer decided to end her life. She was failed by open border policies and sanctuary politicians who RELEASED this illegal alien TWICE before he went on to commit this heinous murder.”

The Department of Homeland Security also lashed out at Illinois Governor JB Pritzker over the release of the accused from jail.

“We are calling on Governor Pritzker and Chicago’s sanctuary politicians to commit to not releasing this criminal illegal alien from jail back into American neighborhoods,” the DHS said.
