Trump: Loyola Student Would Be Alive if Pritzker, Johnson Asked for Help

Trump blames local officials for not requesting federal help after the fatal shooting of an 18-year-old Loyola student, citing a 75% crime drop in Memphis after National Guard deployment.

  • The parents of Sheridan Gorman criticized Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson and Governor Pritzker for their remarks about her death, demanding real change to "ensure that what happened to her does not happen again."
  • Gorman was fatally shot while walking with friends near Tobey Prinz Beach Park on March 19, prosecutors said; authorities charged 25-year-old Jose Medina, a Venezuelan national, in the killing.
  • The family stated they are "not interested in political arguments," demanding leadership confront hard truths and insisting Sheridan's death "cannot be treated as though it were" random or inevitable.
  • Johnson offered condolences on Tuesday, while Pritzker stated there were "real failures" in the immigration system, placing responsibility on President Donald Trump's administration.
  • Trump joined the family in criticizing City Hall on Thursday, reiterating his desire to deploy the National Guard to Chicago, though the Supreme Court previously blocked his administration from deploying troops to Illinois.
