‘Deport Him’: Illinois Democrat Calls For Justice After Loyola Student Allegedly Killed By Illegal Alien
A top Illinois Democrat called for swift justice and a deportation of an illegal immigrant who is accused of killing a Loyola student.
A top Illinois Democrat is calling for the deportation of an illegal alien accused of killing a Loyola University Chicago student.
Comptroller Susana Mendoza thanked law enforcement for arresting and charging Jose Medina-Medina with the early morning murder of Loyola freshman Sheridan Gorman. Medina reportedly shot and killed Gorman on a beach in the Rogers Park neighborhood last Thursday, March 19.
Over the past several days, news broke that police had not only apprehended the suspect but that he is here illegally from Venezuela and had previously been let free despite a shoplifting accusation. The Biden administration let Medina into the country in 2023, free to roam around and commit crimes.
Mendoza said Gorman deserves justice and that her accused killer should be deported.
“This sweet young Loyola freshman had a whole life ahead of her,” she wrote on X. “Sheridan deserves justice.”
“Let it begin this morning in the courtroom,” Mendoza wrote.
Excellent job by the investigators.
My heart goes out to the heartbroken family of Sheridan Gorman. This sweet young Loyola freshman had a whole life ahead of her.
Sheridan deserves justice. Let it begin this morning in the courtroom.
Hold him.
Prosecute him.
Deport him… https://t.co/TBKYbyyAtZ— Susana A. Mendoza ☮️ (@susanamendoza10) March 23, 2026
“Hold him. Prosecute him. Deport him to prison in El Salvador,” she urged officials.
The killing has attracted national attention as Republicans highlight the damage done by the lax immigration policies of President Joe Biden.
Illinois Governor JB Pritzker, meanwhile, has chosen to blame Trump and a lack of “comprehensive immigration reform,” of all things, for the senseless murder.
“I know that the Gorman family has suffered mightily,” Pritzker said, according to Fox 32.
“I agree. There have been real failures. Those failures, of course, extend beyond the borders of Illinois,” Pritzker, who has established Illinois as a “sanctuary” for illegal aliens, told a reporter.
“There [are] national failures, a failure to have comprehensive immigration reform, a failure of the president to follow his own edict to go after the worst of the worst,” the governor claimed.
His comments contradict a statement from his press office (which itself was a contradiction) that called on Trump to stop “politicizing” the murder.
We have lodged an arrest detainer requesting sanctuary politicians NOT release Jose Medina-Medina, a Venezuelan criminal illegal alien arrested for killing 18-year-old Sheridan Gorman in Chicago, Illinois.

“The Trump Administration needs to stop politicizing heinous tragedies and instead focus on real solutions, like reinstating federal funds to prevent violence that support our public safety efforts,” the Democratic governor’s office told NewsNation.
Medina reportedly has a detention hearing on Friday. Court proceedings have been slowed because the accused murdered has tuberculosis.
The Department of Homeland Security has issued a detainer, asking local officials not to release Medina.

A cry in the wilderness
deport him to a country that might allow him to be free as long as he heads back towards the states? is too much of a possibility
she just wants what all dems want…prisons cleared of non whts
he deserves the dp and if not allowed then thats what we doooo pay our tax money for
criminals to be punished >>sent to prison
Agree. Death penalty absolutely appropriate.
Death by hanging. Simple, inexpensive, and without harm to the environment.
Then deport…..
Ya’ know, I might have been wrong. Hanging might not be the best way.
Dropping him from the top of Chicago’s Sears Tower is better.
Nah, he needs to be shot, court-martialed and sent to the Russian front.
By Bunga-Bunga! 🙂
Death by Pritzker. Let that fat tub of lard smother him until dead,
Force Governor Fatty to adopt him, signing a paper that he can be held fully responsible for Medina x 2’s actions. Then prosecute and execute.
Taxpayers should not be forced to feed, clothe, and house him.
but with no dp allowed
that is how we must get justice
not by allowing his freedom to another country ( cause there is no proof he will be or stay locked up)
By all means deport him, but preferably after he has assumed ground temperature.
Not necessarily. Just kick him out of a plane at 20,000 feet without a parachute of course or perhaps with a defective one.
Oh, you already said that. Heh.
Oh I thought of another idea. How about slow roast him and then serve him to that human vacuum Pritzker with some fava beans on the side.
“Hold him. Prosecute him. Deport him to prison in El Salvador,” she urged officials.
Slight disagreement. Prosecute him, convict him, and execute him.
Or…
Prosecute, convict, deport him without landing the plane.
Execute him – Convict him – Prosecute him and then deport him.
For those who disapprove of the death penalty, castrate him just for good measure.
He didn’t use his penis
It was a fun
But hands…
Deport him?
That was the reasonable solution when he was simply in the country illegally.
As a murderer, he should either be put to death or confined to a small concrete prison cell until he dies.
Deported… What an idiot.
How about placing him in a barrel and then filling it with concrete before dumping it into Lake Michigan.,
Hmmmm….
Are you going to let the concrete harden before dumping him in the water? Seems pointless, otherwise.
Of course. I wouldn’t want to be accused of suggesting further pollution to Lake Michigan.
“Court proceedings have been slowed because the accused murdered has tuberculosis.”
Should be murderer. I couldn’t control my Inner Grammar Nazi.
Graham Platner approves and does Elizabeth Warren.
I am physician. TB does not slow proceedings. Put a mask on him and start him on four anti-TB drugs (the current standard of therapy). Within 72 hours he’s non-infective to the people around him, but he should wear a mask for a month.
If you can wear a mask for COVID you can wear one for TB.
And if the court doesn’t want him in the courtroom, do the initial proceedings by video.
A diagnosis of TB should NOT slow things down. This is just an excuse.
Planned Perphood
If we had a “speedy” trial system, I’d say hang him, THEN deport the carcass.
But if we want him out of here ASAP, we’ll have to go straight to deportation.
Or vigilantism.
US Justice Department needs to review facts and charge perp.
18 USC 922(g)(5) makes it unlawful for an illegal alien to possess a firearm/ammunition.
The perp could get more slammer time with a federal conviction than state conviction.
Deport him?
Why is this Democrat calling for a murderer to be set free?
Execute him.
Execute the people who let him in, who supported him, who didn’t allow us to get him out before he killed one of us. All of them.
Mount their corpses on stakes in front of the capitol as a lesson to others.
In Illinois, he can run for state office. Being a criminal looks great on a CV.
My parents and grandparents lived walking distance from this location when I was born (on Albion Ave.). It was beautiful middle class, mostly Jewish neighborhood at one time. Loyola’s campus is right on the lake so it would be easy to walk from the campus up the beach to the murder location.
The entire neighborhood looks like a slum now with graffiti and unkempt homes.
Everything they touch goes to he11.
Loyola University student newspaper apologized for using the term “illegal immigrant” instead of “Rose Park man”
To the headline writer, She was not “allegedly killed” it was the real deal
Deport? I don’t think so. Try him, find him guilty and then execute him.
“Swift justice” would be fine if Illinois had the death penalty. But it hasn’t. Deportation should consist of the murderer’s body after he dies in custody for the rest of his life. However, maybe the Trump DOJ can find a basis for charging him federally, which has the death penalty for certain crimes. It’s time for the lawyers there to put on their thinking caps.
Prosecute, convict, execute.
Deport his remains.
Insane that anyone is even talking about deportation as a “punishment” here.
This was 1st Degree Murder.
Being that the shithole state of IL has no death penalty her parents should initiate a Go Fund Me payable to whichever one of his cellmates kills him.
Deport him in a coffin.
