Mother of Victim Urges Immigration Reform | Chicago News

A grieving mother, Jessica Gorman, testified before a House Judiciary Subcommittee, demanding tougher immigration policies after her daughter Sheridan was murdered in a March beach shooting. The alleged shooter, Jose Medina, entered the U.S. illegally and had a criminal record — a case Gorman uses to argue sanctuary city policies endanger public safety.

The hearing spotlighted the painful intersection of personal tragedy and national immigration debate, reigniting calls for enforcement reform.
