Summary
House Speaker Mike Johnson criticized Democratic sanctuary policies, stating they “worked exactly as the Democrats intended” and allowed the murder of Chicago college student Sheridan Gorman. Gorman was shot and killed by Venezuelan illegal immigrant Jose Medina-Medina, who had been previously apprehended and released by U.S. Border Patrol under the Biden administration. Johnson argued that the system did not fail Gorman, but rather worked as intended by Democrats. The Gorman family has pushed back on comments that her death was a “senseless tragedy” and is demanding accountability for what they call systemic failures.

He stated that the system worked as intended by Democrats, allowing the killer to be released. The Gorman family is demanding accountability for what they call systemic failures.
