Illinois Governor Blames Trump for Student's Murder by Illegal Immigrant
National Today ^ | Mar. 24, 2026

Posted on 03/25/2026 11:20:19 AM PDT by ConservativeStatement

Illinois Governor JB Pritzker is attempting to blame former President Donald Trump for the murder of college student Sheridan Gorman by an illegal immigrant living in Chicago's "amnesty zone". Pritzker claims the Trump administration should stop "politicizing heinous tragedies" and instead focus on "real solutions" to prevent such violence. However, critics argue Pritzker's policies of shielding illegal immigrants from deportation have contributed to rising crime in the state.

Democrat Pritzker is fat and toxic. He is a pathological curse on the American people.

The Pritzker family fortune was built over generations, with investments by immigrant ancestor Nicholas Pritzker, and largely established by A.N. Pritzker and his sons, Jay and Robert, thru the creation of the Hyatt hotel chain and the diversified industrial conglomerate, the Marmon Group.

Their wealth grew through acquisitions, real estate, (and extensive use of offshore trusts known for money laundering).

They have also had holdings in the Superior Bank of Chicago (which collapsed in 2001), the TransUnion credit bureau, Braniff airlines, McCall’s magazine, and the Royal Caribbean International cruise line.

The Pritzker family is of Jewish descent and based in Chicago.

Truth is irrelevant. The commies can say anything, and the media will present it as carefully considered fact.

The Prixster’s hands are covered with her blood and he has blood dripping from his big fat mouth. One should not dare to enter his “wrong place at the wrong time. You’ll probably be killed.”

If we could get rid of all the illegal aliens from OUR COUNTRY, AMERICA, we wouldn’t need TSA or have long lines at the airports.

Prickster is bad joke. He is only Governor because all of the clueless morons in Cook County voted for him.

The Venezuelan greaseball was picked up for shoplifting and then released. If Illinois had a real legal system, the greaseball's arrest would have triggered deportation, and Sheridan would still be alive.

I have a nephew who in his younger days (16 years old) was vacationing with his family in British Columbia. He was picked up shoplifting. Canada took him straight to the border and dumped him. He is permanently banned from entry into Canada.

Of course he is White. If he had been of tawny stock, it would probably have been okey dokey.

In addition, he spent $171 million of his own money on the first campaign for governor in 2018, and another $152 million of his own money on the second campaign in 2022. Total, $323 million, self-funded. That buys a lot of commercials, payoffs and added corruption behavior to get the seat and keep the seat. So....yea, he’s capable of anything regardless of what it costs.

Alinsky. Old and stale, yet never gets old with the press and media. Sixty year old angry hippie crap runs the democrat party.
