When the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) reached out to ask if they could honor my daughter Katie through\u202f”Operation Midway Blitz<\/a>,” I had questions.\u00a0 I couldn\u2019t agree to anything in my daughter\u2019s name sight unseen. But after speaking with DHS and understanding the goals of this operation \u2014 to enforce the laws that are supposed to protect families like mine and to amplify Katie\u2019s tragic story \u2014 I was\u00a0convinced that her death would not be in vain.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Katie was\u202fviolently killed\u202fon Jan. 19, 2025, in a way no parent should ever have to imagine. She was a passenger in a car stopped at a red light when an illegal alien, driving drunk at nearly 80 miles per hour, slammed into the back of their vehicle. The driver,\u202fJulio Cucul-Bol, a Guatemalan national in the country illegally and using false Mexican identification, stole from us a bright, loving young woman with her whole life ahead of her.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Adding to the horror of that night, after violently destroying the car and the lives inside it,\u202fhe fled the scene \u2014 without a second thought to the people he had just maimed and killed. He didn\u2019t try to render aid. He didn\u2019t call for help. He ran, selfishly and cowardly, leaving others to face the devastation he caused.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

That\u2019s the true measure of the man who should never have been in our country<\/a> to begin with.<\/p>\n

DHS MARKS ‘ONE OF THE MOST VIOLENT DAYS’ OF OPERATION MIDWAY BLITZ WITH SEVERAL ARRESTS\u00a0<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n

It seems painfully simple: if this man had not been allowed into our country\u00a0against federal law, he would not have been on that road, and my daughter would be alive today. If Illinois had real leadership willing to prioritize public safety over politics \u2014 and if the state hadn\u2019t doubled down on the sanctuary policies<\/a> that shielded this coward \u2014 Katie might still be with us.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

For months, I\u2019ve been saying that it\u2019s far easier to prevent chaos on the front end than to clean up tragedies like mine on the back end. An ounce of prevention always beats a pound of cure. I\u2019ve consistently challenged Illinois politicians<\/a> to explain how they had planned to balance public safety with their open-border and sanctuary policies. The silence has been deafening.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

And I\u2019ve asked repeatedly:\u202fwhat controls or audit processes were ever put in place\u202fonce Illinois politicians opened the back door to anyone and everyone? Who was making sure our communities were safe? Who was tracking who came in, where they were going, or how they were being supported?<\/p>\n

OUTRAGE ERUPTS AFTER BOOZED-UP ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT ALLEGEDLY MOWS DOWN BLUE STATE COUPLE \u2013 \u2018HOW MANY MORE?\u2019\u00a0<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n

Instead of acting with compassion or foresight, Illinois leaders encouraged and even\u202fincentivized illegal immigration<\/a>, sending a dangerous message that anyone could come here without consequence. That\u2019s not compassion \u2014 that\u2019s cruelty. It shows no regard for the safety of residents, and no empathy for the struggles, abuse, and exploitation suffered by the very people making that perilous journey.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

After Katie\u2019s death, I met with dozens of\u202fDHS and ICE agents and support staff\u202fin Chicago. I also sat down with\u202fActing ICE Director Todd Lyons, and we spoke at length about how open-border policies are tearing apart our communities. The contrast couldn\u2019t have been more stark. I was struck by their professionalism, compassion and dedication. These men and women are not the villains that some politicians and activists make them out to be. They are Americans trying to do their jobs \u2014 to restore order and balance after years of dangerous neglect. Each of the dozens of men and women I met were competent, professional, and deeply committed to keeping our communities safer.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

I can\u2019t help but wonder if any of ICE\u2019s critics have ever taken the time to sit across from one of these agents or staff members. If they did, I believe they\u2019d see what I saw: dedicated Americans working tirelessly to make our communities safer.<\/p>\n

Illinois politicians have shown no such compassion. They ignored Katie\u2019s story because acknowledging it would mean admitting the failures of their policies. It appears their silence is not about grief or guilt \u2014 it\u2019s about political self-preservation. Maintaining inflated census numbers and congressional seats seems to matter more than protecting innocent lives.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Katie lost her life to their cynical game of Russian roulette. And with her, we lost everything she might have become \u2014 her future, her chance to marry, to have children. I will never walk her down the aisle. I will never hold her children. Those are the real consequences of failed leadership.<\/p>\n

Our current Illinois politicians should slink away in shame, never to hold any public office ever again.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

That\u2019s why I support\u202f”Operation Midway Blitz.” Because it\u2019s time to bring accountability back to our immigration system. It\u2019s time to put the safety of Americans ahead of political games. And it\u2019s time to honor Katie \u2014 not just with words, but with action.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
