Watch: Trump Calls Mom Whose Daughter Was Allegedly Murdered by Illegal, Now Mom Reveals Call Detail Dems Would Never Expect
A family shared a touching story about their daughter Sheridan Gorman, an 18-year-old Loyola University Chicago student who was tragically shot and killed at Rogers Park Beach in March. The suspected shooter, Jose medina, an illegal immigrant from Venezuela, reportedly jumped out of bushes and opened fire, resulting in her death.The gorman family recounted their conversation with President Donald Trump, who called them personally and expressed genuine compassion, treating them as a father and grandfather rather than making it a political statement. Sheridan’s mother, Jessica, emphasized their pain and their resolve to seek justice and advocate for change, criticizing current immigration policies. The incident has highlighted concerns about border security and the impact of illegal immigration, themes central to President Trump’s political platform for the 2024 campaign. The story underscores the tragic consequences of inadequate border enforcement and the emotional toll on families affected by such violence.
The family of a slain university student disclosed a detail some may find shocking about their conversation with President Donald Trump — the president was not politicking or working an angle, but expressing genuine compassion over the loss of a loved one.
Sheridan Gorman was a student at Loyola University Chicago, taking classes as a freshman when the 18-year-old’s life was taken in March.
She was shot and killed while she was with her friends at Rogers Park Beach — and the alleged killer, 25-year-old Jose Medina, allegedly entered the country illegally from Venezuela in 2023, per a report by WLS.
Obviously, tragic incidents like this make the blood boil of every American — including the president — as her death was preventable.
This seems to be yet another sorrowful result of former President Joe Biden’s failures to secure the border, deport illegal aliens, and keep the deported from reentering.
Prosecutors alleged Medina jumped out of bushes near the group, opening fire and fatally wounding Gorman in the neck.
After the shooting, the Gorman family sat down for an interview with Fox News on “The Story with Martha McCallum,” where Gorman’s mother Jessica spoke on their conversation with the president.
“President Trump called us, and despite what people might think, he did not say one thing political. He just basically held us. His whole team calling out, wonderful supportive things.”
“He spoke to us as a father and grandfather.”

Per WLS, Gorman said she did not want her daughter’s death to become political, but has made a point to speak out. Fox News included comments from her daughter’s vigil in which she told the crowd, “I want to say this gently, but honestly, as a mom, I’m angry.
“I’m like completely heartbroken, and we are going to fight for justice for our sweet Sheridan, and we’re going to fight for change.”
Trump made it a major part of his platform during the 2024 campaign to rein in the madness that was Biden border and immigration policy.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement have worked fast despite leftist agitators, ideologues, and outright terrorists endangering their lives, but we still hear gut-wrenching stories like this.
Democrats, upon hearing about the contents of this phone call, will likely be in disbelief.
The president seems to eat, sleep, and breathe politics. Remember he was a businessman first, and seemed to step into the political arena only after a long career outside of it.
We wouldn’t by any means call him a “career politician” like Biden, who started his long tenure in the Senate in 1973.
Our current president anticipated many existential threats to our nation, and illegal immigration proved to be one of them.
It was for Gorman, and in many ways still is, a life-or-death issue.
