Pritzker Rejects Trump’s Politicization of Loyola Murder

Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker pushed back on Donald Trump’s claim that the Loyola University Chicago murder case is a political weapon, saying Trump is politicizing the killing of Loyola freshman Sheridan Gorman by Venezuelan migrant José Medina-Medina. The incident has spotlighted sanctuary policies (TRUST Act) and the Laken Riley Act, with Medina-Medina charged with murder and related counts as Pritzker’s office offered condolences and called for accountability while immigration policy and state-federal cooperation remain a flashpoint.
