It references the death of Loyola University Chicago student Sheridan Gorman, allegedly killed by an undocumented immigrant released under the Biden administration, to frame criticism of Johnson&#8217;s leadership. The article notes Johnson&#8217;s declaration of the winners of Chicago\u2019s \u201cYou Name a Plow\u201d contest, including the top entry \u201cAbolish ICE,\u201d and quotes him saying the choice honors Chicago\u2019s legacy of justice and will keep residents protected. It cites coverage from WTTW and CBS News about the contest\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/newsom-signs-bill-requiring-every-registered-voter-be-mailed-a-ballot\/\" title=\"Newsom Signs Bill Requiring Every Registered Voter Be Mailed A Ballot\">record-breaking participation<\/a> and Johnson\u2019s claim that the tragedy will not deter him but will spur greater efforts to safeguard all residents. Alderman Raymond Lopez is quoted calling Gorman\u2019s death avoidable and accusing sanctuary policies of endangering the public, urging a change in mindset and law. The piece discusses Chicago\u2019s sanctuary status as effectively nullification zones and argues that such policies complicate federal enforcement and jeopardize safety. the article characterizes Johnson\u2019s approach as confusing at best and atrocious at worst.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Chicago Democratic Mayor Brandon Johnson is among the worst in the country to occupy that office.<\/p>\n<p>Only one week removed from the alleged murder of Loyola University Chicago student Sheridan Gorman by a Venezuelan illegal alien released under the Biden administration in 2023, Johnson announced the winners of the city&rsquo;s &ldquo;You Name a Plow&rdquo;

About a week after the death of Loyola University Chicago student Sheridan Gorman-an event linked by some to an undocumented immigrant who had been released in 2023 under the Biden administration-Johnson announced the winners of the city\u2019s \u201cYou Name a Plow\u201d contest. According to WTTW, the top entry was the snowplow name \u201cAbolish ICE,\u201d with other winners including Pope Fr\u00edo XIV, Stephen Coldbert, The Blizzard of Oz, Caleb Chilliams, and Svencoolie. Johnson said the chosen name reflects Chicago\u2019s history of standing up for justice, dignity, and the rights of all people, regardless of where they come from, and that he would continue to use every available tool to protect city residents. CBS News noted that this year\u2019s contest set records, with about 13,000 submissions and 39,000 residents casting votes.<\/p>\n<p>The article also references embedded video and interactive content and reports on Johnson\u2019s remarks about Gorman\u2019s death. Fox News conveyed the mayor\u2019s description of the death as a terrible tragedy while saying it would not deter their work and would challenge them to double down on efforts to protect every resident across neighborhoods.<\/p>\n<p>Alderman Raymond Lopez criticized Gorman\u2019s death as avoidable, contending that policies protecting noncitizens-even when those individuals commit crimes-endanger Chicagoans and that the city\u2019s sanctuary stance needs reexamination. He argued that this mindset must change so that Sheridan and others who have been harmed by crime in the country receive a proper shift in attitude and law. While the public backed the \u201cAbolish ICE\u201d entry, some observers suggested the city could have disqualified it for decency after a resident\u2019s death.<\/p>\n<p>The piece characterizes Johnson\u2019s approach as confusing at best and, to many, atrocious. It questions the idea of doubling down on sanctuary policies in light of a fatal incident and asks what this means for the safety of Chicagoans. The article also discusses the city\u2019s sanctuary status and describes it as a form of nullification-where local officials effectively declare federal law not to apply-and invokes a historical parallel to South Carolina in 1832 to illustrate the potential consequences of resisting federal enforcement<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2584014,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Michael-Featured-Image-837.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[33651],"tags":[4387,3813,4602],"class_list":["post-2584013","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-western-journal","tag-chicago","tag-immigration","tag-mayor"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Michael-Featured-Image-837.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2584013","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2584013"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2584013\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2584017,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2584013\/revisions\/2584017"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2584014"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2584013"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2584013"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2584013"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
