The Loyola Phoenix, the student newspaper of Loyola University Chicago, has issued an editor’s note apologizing for an Instagram post calling the alleged killer of 18-year-old student Sheridan Gorman an "illegal immigrant."
"On March 23, a post on The Phoenix’s Instagram page carried the following headline: ‘Immigrant Man Charged in Murder of Sheridan Gorman, DHS Involved,’" the editor’s note, posted below a Sunday article about Gorman’s murder, read.
"That headline didn’t reflect the most important elements in the story, and it was taken down minutes later to prevent any further harm to affected community members," the editor’s note continued.
"Additionally, in the body of the original post, we described the man who was charged as an ‘illegal immigrant,’ using language provided by the Department of Homeland Security," it went on. "That language does not align with Associated Press style, nor does it align with the values of this newspaper." A Sunday press release from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) called the alleged killer, identified as Jose Medina-Medina, a criminal illegal alien from Venezuela. Medina-Medina, who was captured by the U.S. Border Patrol on May 9, 2023, and subsequently released into the U.S. under President Joe Biden’s administration, was charged on Sunday with the shooting of Gorman after being arrested on Friday for allegedly killing Gorman, who attended Loyola University. "No human’s existence is illegal, and we quickly changed our wording to reflect that," the editor’s note continued. "We acknowledge the harm such language can cause and the power and importance of the words we choose to use," it added. "We deeply regret these errors, and we’re committed to continuing the high standards we hold for ourselves as journalists and members of the Loyola, Rogers Park and Chicago communities."

Previous removal orders seems to mean nothing. So many times I’ve read about an illegal committing a crime and it will say that he had previous removal orders. Those orders must not be worth the paper they’re printed on. The illegals probably laugh at them, use them for toilet paper.
Really typical Libtardism.
Notice how many times the article use the word “alleged.“ Today, on The Will Kane show, Dem Congressman Jason Crow twice accused the ICE officers in Minnesota of “murder.“ He did not use the word “alleged” even once.
He also said that the two people who were killed were “unarmed.” If he was talking about armed with a gun, one of them was armed with a gun. If he was talking about deliberately running into someone with a car, could that be a kind of being armed as well?
“…to prevent any further harm to affected community members”
Deeply affected community member Gorman suffered no further harm.
And Wright Junior College? At the time, that would also be referred to as "UCLA" (University of Chicago Located on Austin) because of the mailing address.
I wonder what Slats Grobnik would call the perp in this story.
When reality goes against the style book, they go with the style book. Yeah that’ll work.
I smell an administration strongarming an apology.
Wouldn’t want to hurt the poor illegal alien murderer’s feelings.
Maybe the grovel under threat of getting failing grades.
I would think the removal order might merit confinement until the Appeal process was finished if it was a violent crime.The question about the big ICE camps is whether these are holding pending appeal, or holding while getting the transportation and country for destination organized. They certainly should not be grabbing people who are at the courthouse while following the laws for court hearings or trials, or to celebrate their citizenship bestowal.
If half the people being arrested have no criminal history, then I would prefer to see that funding used to finance getting rid of the IRGD in Iran and the Mullahs killing over 30,000 protesters, or the woman killed for wearing her hair too visible. Those idiots need to learn the difference between scalp hair and pubic hair. Only the latter should be scary even in a repressive culture.
Yeah. You try ignoring a court ruling.
victim practically smothered the murderer with thrust of her body into his knife.
”No human’s existence is illegal...”
Irrelevant. His presence in the United States IS.
