Chicago Killing Is ‘Laken Riley 2.0’

Around 1:30 a.m. on March 19, Sheridan Gorman, an 18-year-old student at Loyola University in Chicago was shot and killed by a masked gunman less than a mile from her campus, in Tobey Prinz Beach Park. A manhunt ensued, and on Saturday police questioned a “person of interest”, subsequently identified as Jose Medina-Medina, 25, a Venezuelan national apprehended at the border and released into the United States under the Biden administration in May 2023. The case is “Laken Riley 2.0” — and a reminder of why Congress passed a law in her name to crack down on criminal migrants.
