Chicago activist slams Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker over Loyola student’s murder

Activist P-Rae Easley criticized the crime policies of Democratic officials while imploring President Donald Trump to “save” Chicagoans during an interview Tuesday on Fox News.

Easley’s plea comes as Chicago responds to the shooting death of 18-year-old Loyola University student Sheridan Gorman. His killer is an illegal immigrant from Venezuela who was released to the United States under the Biden administration, according to the Department of Homeland Security.

“Please, President Trump, come and save us,” he said on “The Story.” “Sheridan didn’t deserve to die, and we don’t want more American blood spilled on the side of the road by these invaders.”

After days of silence following Gorman’s murder, Pritzker addressed the college student’s death on Tuesday, placing blame on the Trump administration.

“I agree, there have been real failures. Those failures, of course, extend beyond the borders of Illinois,” he said. “It’s a national failure, a failure to make drastic changes to immigration, a failure of the president to follow through on his executive order. It’s the federal government’s job to follow immigration law.”

In response, the White House pushed back, accusing Pritzker of undermining enforcement efforts in a statement to Fox News Digital in a previous article.

“Those are the real solutions that keep the American people safe. Meanwhile, slobs like Pritzker continue to protect dangerous illegal aliens and try to obstruct the important work of the Trump Administration. Pritzker’s policies make the American people less safe,” said White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson.

Easley echoed the White House’s remarks, accusing “liberal” local officials of blocking important immigration enforcement operations.

“How much can we take? She is not the first woman to be killed by an illegal person in this city and in this country, but even so, every time we ask for help, and we get help, we have our officials here who send their free army to come out and fight them.”

Easley also criticized the comments of Chicago Alderwoman Maria Hadden, who said “it sounds like this was the wrong place, wrong time” and that the 18-year-old may have “scared” the shooter.

“[Gorman] he was exactly where he was supposed to be, he did exactly what he was supposed to do,” he said. “We criticize every person who was appointed, every media source saying that he was in the wrong place at the wrong time, that he scared this monster and then he came and shot us. No, he was doing what he had to do.”

The activist then called for help, warning that Americans are increasingly vulnerable to crime.

“We’re tired, America. We need help. I’ve been sitting in this chair for two years asking the federal government to remove policies that make Americans the ducks of criminals – real criminals – who come through the door and are funded by our tax dollars.”

Pritzker’s office pointed to Fox News Digital’s social media and press conference, in addition to the statement: “Our thoughts are with the family, friends, and community of Loyola University affected by the senseless killing of Sheridan Gorman. Violent crime has no place on our streets, and we expect the perpetrator to be held accountable to the full extent of Trump’s demands to stop crime and focus on solutions, such as restoring federal funds to prevent violence that support our efforts. of public safety.”
