Sister of slain student Sheridan Gorman condemns anti-ICE protest in family’s hometown
المصدر: Fox News | Source: Fox NewsThe sister of Sheridan Gorman, the college student allegedly shot and killed by an illegal immigrant, is fed up with the anti-ICE protests happening in her hometown.
Madelon Gorman, wrote a post on Facebook condemning a group of protesters who reportedly gathered in Yorktown, New York.
"Seeing an anti-ICE protest take place in our hometown—a town that means so much to my family—has been incredibly painful," she writes in the post.
Loyola University freshman Sheridan Gorman was shot and killed while on a walk near the school's campus in Chicago, on March 19.
Her accused killer is Jose Medina-Medina, 25, an illegal immigrant from Venezuela. He was due in court for a discovery hearing on Monday.
Madelon Gorman said, "My sister left Yorktown to pursue her education in Chicago, where she was tragically murdered by an illegal immigrant with a criminal history. That loss shattered my family. It changed every holiday, every birthday, every family dinner, and every future milestone we once imagined."
Anti-ICE protests in New Jersey have gained national attention following violence, and death threats against ICE agents.
Northern Westchester Indivisible is a leftist group that organizes rallies in New York's 17th congressional district. The group gathered on Saturday with a mission of protesting MAGA and Congressman Mike Lawler, according to an advertisement for the protest.
"These are the streets we grew up on, the schools we attended, the fields where we played, and the community events where our family volunteered. This is the town that celebrated our accomplishments, watched us grow up, and stood beside us after Sheridan’s death. To see a demonstration that, from our perspective, appears to oppose an agency whose mission includes removing dangerous criminal offenders feels deeply personal," Gorman said.
Medina-Medina has been in jail since March and has pleaded not guilty to all charges. Those charges may also be upgraded as authorities say he was caught in jail with a six-inch shank.
Fox News Digital has reached out to Northern Westchester Indivisible for comment.
