Grieving parents of American children killed by illegal immigrants<\/a> issued a desperate plea to the nation\u2019s leaders: “Choose us.”<\/p>\n

Angel families<\/a> are supporting the Gorman family, who spoke on “The Story” about the failures that led to their daughter\u2019s death.<\/p>\n

“I don’t understand what these politicians are thinking,” Jess Gorman, mother of Sheridan Gorman<\/a>, said Thursday.<\/p>\n

Sheridan Gorman, a first-year student at Loyola University, was\u00a0shot and killed in Chicago\u00a0in March.<\/p>\n

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS)<\/a> said the suspect \u2014 Jose Medina-Medina, an illegal immigrant from Venezuela \u2014 was released from custody months earlier despite an active Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detainer.<\/p>\n

“To me, things like that show that they value these undocumented migrants more than they value our American citizens, our American children. And honestly, you almost want to just make a plea: ‘Choose us. Choose my American child,'” Jess Gorman added.<\/p>\n

Now, angel families are calling for accountability.<\/p>\n

“Isn’t that their jobs to keep us safe? And they’re just, they’re not,” Cheryl Minter said Friday on “Fox & Friends First<\/a>.”<\/p>\n

Minter’s daughter, Stephanie, was stabbed and killed at a Virginia<\/a> bus stop in February. Authorities charged a suspect from Sierra Leone with a lengthy criminal history.<\/p>\n

“They’re allowing all these people that just do horrendous crimes over and over again to stay in our streets, and they’re not even detaining them at all,” Minter said. “It’s just horrible that this keeps happening.”<\/p>\n

Joe Abraham, whose daughter Katie was killed<\/a> in a January 2025 hit-and-run in Urbana, Illinois, said he shares that concern. Abraham argued the man, an illegal immigrant, convicted in his daughter’s case was “protected every step of the way” by state policies.<\/p>\n

“Not every victim dies like Katie or Sheridan. There are so many victims that are created every day because of these reckless guardrailless policies,” Abraham said.<\/p>\n

“It’s amazing to me, no one in Illinois steps up and says, ‘Yeah, we got to reassess, and we’ve got to change direction a little bit.'”<\/p>\n

The Gormans say their daughter’s death was not “senseless violence,” but the result of systemic failures<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“I just think that when policies are in place that protect unvetted migrants who do commit a crime, there is a risk,” said Tom Gorman, Sheridan\u2019s father.<\/p>\n

“I have to live every day with a choice in my head. Was my daughter an unintended consequence of good policy or the consequence of bad policy? And I know the answer for me,” he said.<\/p>\n

At an event at the White House<\/a> Friday, President Donald Trump issued a statement to the mothers in attendance: “I just want to wish you all a very happy Mother\u2019s Day. We\u2019re going to have a great Mother\u2019s Day.”<\/p>\n

“And for those mothers that lost their child, many of whom are with us today, the angel moms<\/a> and others, Gold Star moms, we love you especially. We love you, maybe even the most,” he added.<\/p>\n

Following the Gormans\u2019 comments, Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker’s office issued a statement to Fox News:<\/a> “The family of Sheridan Gorman remains in Governor Pritzker\u2019s thoughts as they grieve and navigate the unimaginable loss of their daughter. He believes the person responsible for their daughter\u2019s death needs to be held accountable to\u00a0the fullest extent of the law and with the entire weight and urgency of our justice system that her family deserves.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
