OPINION:<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Democratic Party\u2019s indifference to the atrocity of innocent Americans being murdered by illegal aliens was on full display during a recent House Judiciary subcommittee hearing.<\/p>\n

On June 30, border hawk Republicans presented two \u201cangel parents\u201d to testify about the preventable killings of their college student daughters in deep-blue, anti-Trump Illinois, which is, by law, a sanctuary for foreign criminals.<\/p>\n

Angel mom Jessica Gorman told of losing her 18-year-old daughter, a freshman at Chicago\u2019s Loyola University, to the brutality of illegal alien Jose Medina. On March 19, Mr. Medina randomly shot her daughter, Sheridan Gorman, in the back as she and her friends ran from Tobey Prinz Beach, where they had gone to watch the Northern Lights.<\/p>\n

Mr. Medina, now facing murder and other charges, should never have been in the country, which he entered during President Biden\u2019s insane open-southern-border free-for-all. He was previously arrested on shoplifting charges.<\/p>\n

If alerted, Immigration and Customs Enforcement could have done to him and could be doing to others what the left considers unspeakable: deporting them and making America safer.<\/p>\n

Angel dad Joe Abraham also testified. A drunk, reckless-driving illegal immigrant, Julio Cucul-Bol, took his daughter\u2019s life. On Jan. 19, 2025, Katie Abraham was a passenger in a car stopped at a red light when Cucul-Bol, driving 80 miles an hour, slammed into them from behind, killing 20-year-old Katie and her friend Chloe Polzin. He fled the scene.<\/p>\n

The tragedy never should have happened because Cucul-Bol, a Guatemalan national, should not have been in the U.S. He reentered the country illegally at some point and, in 2023, used a fake passport and ID to get a bank account with JPMorgan Chase.<\/p>\n

\u201cGovernment failed to honor one of its most fundamental obligations to us,\u201d Mr. Abraham said.<\/p>\n

There are three essential background notes on understanding Democrats, their open border policies and why they provide sanctuary to dangerous foreigners.<\/p>\n

First, Mr. Biden opened the southern border for four years, letting the soulless Mexican drug cartels swamp us with their evil brethren among 15 million invaders. Some of them murdered, raped, ran over, fleeced, kidnapped and trafficked innocent Americans.<\/p>\n

Second, the Biden border showcased this. The 1990s border hawk Democrats are extinct, eradicated by Marxist-oriented power-grabbers who decided that millions of illegals are the party\u2019s path to one-party rule forever.<\/p>\n

Democrats are so committed to foreign criminals that they created \u201csanctuaries\u201d such as Illinois.<\/p>\n

Third, let us abandon any pretense that Democrats care about fighting waste, fraud and abuse. In fact, ignoring fraud is essential to keeping the immigrant class happy. Somalis in Minnesota illustrate this formula.<\/p>\n

As reliable Democratic voters, they stole enormous amounts of taxpayer money with little interference.<\/p>\n

Fourth, when illegals rape, murder and mow down innocent people, there is no quieter group than the Democrats.<\/p>\n

Now back to the June 30 hearing.<\/p>\n

A heartbroken Mrs. Gorman has become an advocate for sensible immigration policy, not the Biden insanity of flowing in millions of unknowns who smuggle cash payments to the drug cartels, gladly sending us criminals.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s about how failed border policies, sanctuary city laws and twisted leaders refusing to cooperate with ICE sent her to her grave,\u201d Mrs. Gorman told the panel. \u201cIt\u2019s about a government and politicians that forgot their first priority. And the question before this committee is painfully simple: When did protecting our American citizens stop being your first priority?\u201d<\/p>\n

Rep. Pramila Jayapal, a Washington Democrat who represents the socialist enclave of Seattle, has said ICE is \u201cacting like a terrorist force.\u201d Her opening statement offered a brief condolence and then: \u201cUnfortunately, this hearing is the fourth time in this committee that we\u2019ve had a hearing on sanctuary cities, the fourth time,\u201d she said. \u201cAnd there\u2019s many other things that we could be doing other than this.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mrs. Gorman, at times in tears, later responded.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is why I\u2019m sorry, I get so upset with your \u2019but\u2019s and you don\u2019t want to talk about this. \u2019This is the fourth hearing.\u2019 \u2026 I didn\u2019t even know what an angel family was, had no idea, never even heard about it. There\u2019s so many out here. You know what I\u2019m thankful for? I\u2019m thankful that my daughter was just shot in the back of the head, not raped, murdered, dismembered. \u2026 And you can actually dismiss the angel families, you can say \u2019But.\u2019 You don\u2019t want to hear four sessions on angel families. I\u2019m sorry, you need to \u2026 How messed up is that I\u2019m thankful every day that she was just murdered, not raped and dismembered?\u201d<\/p>\n

Democrats became irate even before Mrs. Gorman\u2019s testimony. Rep. Mike Lawler, New York Republican, had the duty of introducing Mrs. Gorman, his constituent. He exploited that assignment by reminding everyone how the country reached this point: Because of a Biden catastrophe, the Democrats ignore it as they lay waste to ICE.<\/p>\n

\u201cBack in May of 2023, over three years ago, Sheridan\u2019s murderer illegally entered the United States,\u201d Mr. Lawler said. \u201cBorder Patrol caught him. They apprehended him. But then, because of the Biden administration\u2019s ludicrous open border policies, he was released into our country. A month later, he was arrested for shoplifting in Chicago. Under existing law and the law at the time, he should have been deported right then and there.\u201d<\/p>\n

At that point, Rep. Jerry Nadler interrupted, complaining: \u201cThis is not an introduction. It\u2019s a speech.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou should be ashamed of yourselves. This is disgraceful,\u201d Mr. Lawler responded.<\/p>\n

Then Ms. Jayapal objected, but Mr. Lawler was ready.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis mother is here precisely because you have failed to do your job,\u201d he shot back. \u201cWonder why we had four hearings? It\u2019s because you don\u2019t understand the consequence of sanctuary policy. \u2026 Sharing the details of her death. You may not want to hear the details. It may be an inconvenience to you, but these details matter.\u201d<\/p>\n

A shouting match ensued between Mr. Lawler and Rep. Jamie Raskin, Maryland Democrat.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you don\u2019t belong in this committee, you should get the hell out of here,\u201d Mr. Raskin told Mr. Lawler, a non-committee member.<\/p>\n

Mr. Lawler\u2019s response: \u201cYou should be ashamed of yourself. You\u2019re a disgrace. \u2026 You\u2019re an absolute disgrace supporting sanctuary policies.\u201d<\/p>\n
