And what did the politicians do when this young woman’s blood was still fresh on the pavement? They downplayed it. They deflected. Chicago Alderwoman Maria Hadden disgustingly suggested Sheridan “might have startled” the man with the gun—as if an innocent girl walking on a public pier at night is somehow to blame for her own murder. Illinois Governor JB Pritzker immediately pivoted to attacking President Trump, demanding more federal money for “public safety” while refusing to acknowledge that his own state’s sanctuary laws created the very danger.
This is the outrage we are living with. An American girl—someone’s daughter, someone’s sister, someone’s future—is gone forever because radical politicians chose illegal aliens over American lives. And this isn’t the first time. In fact, in a resurfaced clip from 2024, Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) complained that Democrats “failed to deliver for the people we care about most, the undocumented Americans that are in this country.” Unbelievable.
