Venezuelan Migrant Arrested After Chicago Student Fatally Shot Near Campus
A masked gunman shot and killed an 18-year-old Loyola University Chicago student along the city’s lakefront shortly after 1:30 a.m. Thursday, while she was walking with friends. The gunman struck Sheridan Gorman, a resident of Westchester County, New York, in the head, causing her death at the scene.
There is a 25-year-old man in jail for her death who is a Venezuelan migrant, according to Fox News.
The Chicago Tribune obtained records indicating that a “distinct limp” led to the suspect’s discovery just minutes after the shooting. The Tribune didn’t say who the suspect was. Police haven’t said yet if the man has been charged in connection with the Gorman case.
In a letter sent to students on Thursday, Mark C. Reed, President of Loyola University Chicago, confirmed Gorman’s death.
“It is with profound sadness that I write to share that one of our students, Sheridan Gorman, was killed earlier today. This is a tragic loss, and our hearts go out to Sheridan’s family, loved ones, and all who knew her,” Reed wrote in the letter.
Sheridan Gorman was only 18 years old. She was walking along the lakefront with friends in the early morning. A man with a mask shot at her, and now her family in New York is planning a funeral instead of a summer visit.
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) filed an arrest detainer asking sanctuary politicians not to let Jose Medina-Medina go free.
Medina-Medina is a Venezuelan criminal illegal alien who was arrested for killing 18-year-old Sheridan Gorman in Chicago, Illinois.
The U.S. Border Patrol caught Medina-Medina on May 9, 2023, and the Biden administration let him into the country. He was arrested for shoplifting in Chicago, Illinois, and then let go again on June 19, 2023.
“Sheridan Gorman had her whole life ahead of her before this cold-blooded killer decided to end her life. She was failed by open border policies and sanctuary politicians who RELEASED this illegal alien TWICE before he went on to commit this heinous murder,” said Acting Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis.
“We are calling on Governor J.B. Pritzker and Chicago’s sanctuary politicians to commit to not releasing this criminal illegal alien from jail back into American neighborhoods,” Bis added.
In December 2025, ICE Director Todd Lyons wrote to Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul and asked him to put the safety of Americans first and honor ICE arrest warrants for more than 4,000 criminal illegal aliens in the state’s custody, including murderers, sexual predators, and people who have been convicted of or charged with weapons offenses.
The pace of ICE arrests nationwide has topped 1,100 per day on average this year, far higher than the rate last spring of roughly 600 arrests per day, according to new data reviewed by the New York Times.
“New data analyzed by The New York Times reveals that the pace of these arrests has varied across the country in sometimes surprising ways. Some places that did not have high-profile ICE operations this year, such as Florida and San Antonio, have still seen high and steadily increasing numbers of arrests,” the article stated.
“In other areas like Los Angeles and Chicago that were targeted by ICE with aggressive enforcement operations last year, the number of arrests has fallen steeply in recent months. And in some areas — notably many places with so-called sanctuary policies in place — the arrest rate is flat, or up only slightly.
The article added, “The administration’s high-profile operation in Minnesota this year, resulted in a steep increase in arrests there: ICE’s St. Paul field office arrested more than 5,000 people from mid-December through March 10. But four other field offices arrested more people during this same time period, led by the Miami area — with nearly 10,000 arrests — followed by the field offices in Dallas, Atlanta, and San Antonio.”
BAD NEWS: Washington,D.C. receives bad news—Trump confirmed as president...Incredible! See more in the comments.!👀👇
Washington, D.C. was unusually quiet as cameras captured a rare and deeply reflective moment from Donald Trump. Standing beneath the historic lights of the nation’s capital, Trump appeared more reserved than the public is accustomed to seeing. The energy surrounding him was not the loud, fast-paced atmosphere of a political rally, but instead something far more personal — a pause filled with emotion, memory, and reflection.
Witnesses described the scene as powerful. As supporters gathered nearby and reporters waited for statements, Trump reportedly took several long moments to look across the city skyline before speaking softly to those around him. For many watching, it was a side of the former president rarely shown in public. Known for his confidence and aggressive political style, this quieter appearance immediately sparked conversation across social media and news outlets.
Sources close to the event claimed the moment came after a long series of intense political meetings in Washington. The pressure surrounding the current political climate, combined with ongoing public attention, appeared to weigh heavily on the former president. While no official statement confirmed exactly what was on his mind, observers noted that Trump seemed focused, thoughtful, and unusually emotional.
Supporters standing near the scene began recording videos almost immediately. Within minutes, clips of Trump’s reflective pause spread rapidly online. Thousands of comments poured in from Americans expressing curiosity about what had caused such a serious mood. Some called it a “historic moment,” while others described it as “one of the most human moments ever seen from Trump.”
Political analysts were also quick to react. Several commentators suggested that the moment represented more than just exhaustion from public life. According to some experts, it may have reflected the enormous weight carried by national leaders who remain constantly under public scrutiny. Others believed it symbolized a turning point as Trump continues navigating one of the most closely watched political eras in modern American history.
As night fell over Washington, the atmosphere surrounding the event only became more emotional. Supporters waving American flags remained outside for hours, discussing what they had witnessed. Some said they felt inspired by Trump’s quiet determination, while critics argued the moment was being overly dramatized online. Regardless of opinion, nearly everyone agreed on one thing — the image of Trump standing silently in the nation’s capital quickly became unforgettable.
The moment also reignited debates about leadership, resilience, and the emotional toll of politics in America. In an era dominated by constant headlines and fierce political division, even a brief pause from a major political figure can capture the attention of millions. For many Americans, this reflective moment served as a reminder that behind every public figure is a person facing pressure, expectations, and difficult decisions.
By the following morning, hashtags connected to Trump’s Washington appearance were trending across multiple platforms. News programs replayed the footage repeatedly, with viewers continuing to analyze every expression and gesture. Some supporters called it a symbol of strength through silence, while others simply saw a rare glimpse into the personal side of one of the most controversial political figures of the modern era.
Whether remembered as a simple quiet pause or something far more significant, the reflective moment from Donald Trump in Washington has already become one of the most talked-about political images of the week. And as conversations continue across the country, many are still asking the same question: what exactly was going through Trump’s mind during those unforgettable seconds in the heart of America’s capital?
"BREAKING: Supreme Court Delivers Verdict in Trump Case!"
The U.S. Supreme Court will allow the federal government to freeze more than $4 billion in foreign aid payments that President Trump tried to cancel last month using a rare “pocket rescission.”
The justices voted 6-3 to grant the Trump administration’s emergency appeal, which stopped a lower court’s order to release the funds that had already been set aside.
A spokesperson for the White House Office of Management and Budget said, “This is a huge win for restoring the President’s power to carry out his policies. Left-wing groups can no longer take over the president’s agenda.”
Most of the justices agreed that “the harms to the Executive’s conduct of foreign affairs appear to outweigh the potential harm faced by respondents.” The Post said that the AIDS Vaccine Advocacy Coalition, Journalism Development Network, Center for Victims of Torture, and Global Health Council are some of them.
The Supreme Court’s decision didn’t answer the bigger question of whether President Trump has the power to “impound” money that Congress has approved on his own.
Trump recently told House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) that he was going to cancel more than $4 billion in foreign aid. This included $3.2 billion in programs run by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), $322 million from the joint USAID–State Department Democracy Fund, and $521 million in State Department contributions to international organizations.
The request, called a “pocket rescission,” was sent to Congress so close to the end of the fiscal year on September 30 that it would automatically go into effect, no matter what Congress did.
It is the first time in almost fifty years that a president has done this.
The funding in question had been designated for nonprofit organizations currently suing the Trump administration, as well as for foreign governments.
A U.S. District Judge named Amit Mehta Ali, who was appointed by Biden, said earlier this month that the administration could not keep the money without Congress’s approval of the proposal to cancel it.
Ali wrote, “So far, Congress has not responded to the President’s proposal to rescind the funds.” “And the [Impoundment Control Act] makes it clear that it is congressional action, not the President sending a special message, that ends the previous appropriations.”
The nonprofit groups that are fighting the Trump administration’s funding freeze said that the pocket rescission broke federal law and put important, life-saving programs abroad at risk.
Justices Elena Kagan, Sonia Sotomayor, and Ketanji Brown Jackson disagreed with the majority ruling on Friday.
Earlier this week, the Supreme Court agreed to hear a case on Monday that will decide whether President Donald Trump can fire members of the Federal Trade Commission without cause. This case could change the definition of presidential power and the independence of federal agencies.
The justices said in a short order that Trump could fire FTC Commissioner Rebecca Kelly Slaughter while the case is still going on. The stay that lets her go will stay in place until the court makes a decision, which is set for December.
The case asks if laws that protect FTC commissioners from being fired violate the separation of powers and if the court’s 1935 decision to uphold those protections should be changed. It will also look into whether lower federal courts can stop removals, like they did when Trump fired Democratic appointees.

Justices Elena Kagan, Sonia Sotomayor, and Ketanji Brown Jackson, who are on the left side of the high court, disagreed. Kagan wrote that the order effectively gives the president “full control” over independent agencies that Congress wanted to keep out of politics.
“He can now fire any member he wants, for any reason or no reason at all,” says the majority, even though Congress said otherwise. She wrote, “And he may do this to end the agencies’ independence and bipartisanship.”
