Venezuelan Migrant Arrested After Chicago Student Fatally Shot Near Campus

A masked gunman shot and killed an 18-year-old Loyola University Chicago student along the city’s lakefront shortly after 1:30 a.m. Thursday, while she was walking with friends. The gunman struck Sheridan Gorman, a resident of Westchester County, New York, in the head, causing her death at the scene.

There is a 25-year-old man in jail for her death who is a Venezuelan migrant, according to Fox News.

The Chicago Tribune obtained records indicating that a “distinct limp” led to the suspect’s discovery just minutes after the shooting. The Tribune didn’t say who the suspect was. Police haven’t said yet if the man has been charged in connection with the Gorman case.

In a letter sent to students on Thursday, Mark C. Reed, President of Loyola University Chicago, confirmed Gorman’s death.

“It is with profound sadness that I write to share that one of our students, Sheridan Gorman, was killed earlier today. This is a tragic loss, and our hearts go out to Sheridan’s family, loved ones, and all who knew her,” Reed wrote in the letter.

Sheridan Gorman was only 18 years old. She was walking along the lakefront with friends in the early morning. A man with a mask shot at her, and now her family in New York is planning a funeral instead of a summer visit.

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) filed an arrest detainer asking sanctuary politicians not to let Jose Medina-Medina go free.

Medina-Medina is a Venezuelan criminal illegal alien who was arrested for killing 18-year-old Sheridan Gorman in Chicago, Illinois.

The U.S. Border Patrol caught Medina-Medina on May 9, 2023, and the Biden administration let him into the country. He was arrested for shoplifting in Chicago, Illinois, and then let go again on June 19, 2023.

“Sheridan Gorman had her whole life ahead of her before this cold-blooded killer decided to end her life. She was failed by open border policies and sanctuary politicians who RELEASED this illegal alien TWICE before he went on to commit this heinous murder,” said Acting Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis.

“We are calling on Governor J.B. Pritzker and Chicago’s sanctuary politicians to commit to not releasing this criminal illegal alien from jail back into American neighborhoods,” Bis added.

In December 2025, ICE Director Todd Lyons wrote to Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul and asked him to put the safety of Americans first and honor ICE arrest warrants for more than 4,000 criminal illegal aliens in the state’s custody, including murderers, sexual predators, and people who have been convicted of or charged with weapons offenses.

The pace of ICE arrests nationwide has topped 1,100 per day on average this year, far higher than the rate last spring of roughly 600 arrests per day, according to new data reviewed by the New York Times.

“New data analyzed by The New York Times reveals that the pace of these arrests has varied across the country in sometimes surprising ways. Some places that did not have high-profile ICE operations this year, such as Florida and San Antonio, have still seen high and steadily increasing numbers of arrests,” the article stated.

“In other areas like Los Angeles and Chicago that were targeted by ICE with aggressive enforcement operations last year, the number of arrests has fallen steeply in recent months. And in some areas — notably many places with so-called sanctuary policies in place — the arrest rate is flat, or up only slightly.

The article added, “The administration’s high-profile operation in Minnesota this year, resulted in a steep increase in arrests there: ICE’s St. Paul field office arrested more than 5,000 people from mid-December through March 10. But four other field offices arrested more people during this same time period, led by the Miami area — with nearly 10,000 arrests — followed by the field offices in Dallas, Atlanta, and San Antonio.”

Calif. Sheriff Investigates ‘Massive’ Ballot Discrepancy In Special Election

RIVERSIDE, CA — Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco has launched a high-stakes criminal investigation into what he describes as a "massive" discrepancy in the 2025 special election results. The probe, which has already seen sheriff’s deputies execute search warrants at the Registrar of Voters office, centers on a staggering 45,800-vote gap between machine-counted totals and the handwritten logs maintained by poll workers.

The investigation has ignited a firestorm in California politics, pitting the Republican sheriff—who is currently running for governor—against the state’s Democratic establishment.

The 45,800 Vote Gap: Machine vs. Manual

The discrepancy was first flagged by an independent group of citizens who conducted a manual review of election records. Their findings, which prompted the Sheriff’s intervention, show a significant rift in the data:

Machine Count: 657,000+ ballots recorded.
Handwritten Logs: 611,000+ votes documented.
The Discrepancy: Approximately 45,800 ballots appear in the machine count but have no corresponding entry in the manual poll worker logs.

“We’re not talking about ten, we’re not even talking about a thousand,” Sheriff Bianco told reporters. “We’re talking about the difference between having a perfect count and a 45,800 vote difference. That’s massive.”

The Registrar’s Defense: Human Error?

Riverside County Registrar of Voters Art Tinoco has defended the official machine count, suggesting that the discrepancy is likely the result of "imprecise" documentation by temporary employees in the field rather than fraudulent ballots.

Tinoco argued that handwritten forms are subject to human error and that the machine count remains the "gold standard" for accuracy. However, Sheriff Bianco has insisted on a full review, and a superior court judge has authorized the appointment of a special master to oversee a court-ordered recount of the seized materials.

Bonta’s Backlash: "Unprecedented and Unfounded"

The investigation has drawn sharp condemnation from California Attorney General Rob Bonta. In a series of letters to the Sheriff’s office, Bonta questioned the legal basis for seizing ballots and criticized the investigation as being based on "unfounded allegations."

Surprise and Disappointment: Bonta described the probe as "unprecedented in both scope and scale."
The Resistance: Sheriff Bianco confirmed receiving letters from Bonta’s office and expressed concern over what he called "outrage" that an investigation was even happening. “The resistance to an investigation is extremely concerning to me,” Bianco stated.

The Path to 2026 Integrity

As the 2026 Midterm cycle intensifies, the Riverside County investigation is being watched closely by the Trump administration. President Donald Trump has repeatedly called for "simple, secure, and transparent" elections, and the SAVE America Act continues to be a top priority for the GOP.

For Sheriff Bianco, the mission is clear: prove the accuracy of the election or expose the flaws. “The purpose of this investigation is just as much to prove the election is accurate as it is to show otherwise,” he noted. With a special master now overseeing the process, the eyes of the nation are on California to see if the machine count can withstand a manual reckoning.

Liberal Supreme Court Justice Sides With Trump Administration In Unexpected Case - Kagan Rules In Favor Of Trump...

WASHINGTON, D.C. — In a landmark decision that has left the "Radical Left" in a state of absolute disbelief, Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan has unexpectedly sided with the Trump administration to uphold a deportation order for four Mexican nationals. The ruling is being hailed as a major victory for the administration’s "ruthless and precise" enforcement of immigration law, signaling that even the Court’s liberal wing is beginning to recognize the "national imperative" of sovereignty.

The case involved a family from Guerrero, Mexico, who fled in 2021 after threats from the Los Rojos drug cartel. Despite their claims of imminent violence, Kagan denied their request for a stay of removal, allowing immigration officials to proceed with their scheduled deportation.

The Kagan Mandate: No More Last-Minute Stays

Justice Kagan, acting in her capacity as the circuit justice for the Ninth Circuit, chose to deny the family's appeal alone rather than referring it to the full court.

The History of the Case: The petitioners—Fabian Lagunas Espinoza, Maria Angelica Flores Ulloa, and their two sons—had their asylum appeals rejected by an immigration judge in 2023 and the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals in early 2025.
Imminent Removal: The family had been ordered to report for deportation on April 17, 2025. By denying the stay, Kagan effectively finalized their removal without further comment.
The "Credible Fear" Threshold: While the family argued they were targets of extortion and cartel violence, the courts have consistently ruled that generalized criminal violence does not always meet the high bar for political asylum in the 2026 landscape.

Boasberg’s "Desperation": The MS-13 Fallout

While Kagan was reinforcing the administration’s posture, a separate battle erupted in D.C. between Chief Judge James Boasberg and the Supreme Court. Boasberg recently held Trump officials in contempt for refusing to return a deported MS-13 gang member, Kilmar Abrego Garcia, back to the U.S.

The High Court Reversal: The Supreme Court vacated Boasberg's order, finding that the case should have been heard in Texas, not D.C.
"Embarrassed and Desperate": Fox News legal analyst Kerri Urbahn slammed Boasberg’s continued defiance, calling his contempt ruling "desperate" and suggesting he was "embarrassed" by the Supreme Court’s rebuke.
Roberts’ Warning: Analysts noted that while Chief Justice John Roberts previously warned against criticizing judges, the High Court’s refusal to support Boasberg’s overreach signals a new era of judicial discipline.

The Path to 2026 Stability

As the 2026 Midterm cycle intensifies, the Trump administration is positioning its judicial victories as evidence that the "Old World" of activist judges is being dismantled. By securing favorable rulings from both conservative and liberal justices, the administration is aiming to achieve total "Questionless Faith" in the Rule of Law.

“Elections should be simple, secure, and transparent, and so should our judicial system,” a senior GOP strategist noted. “Tonight, Justice Kagan chose the law over the narrative.”
