The murder of Loyola college student Sheridan Gorman has sparked friction between federal officials and states like Illinois with sanctuary policies. The Department of Homeland Security revealed that Jose Medina, the alleged gunman, was in the country illegally with a previous warrant for his arrest warrant issued for his release in 2023. Despite this, despite efforts by the federal government and Gorman's parents to keep Medina in custody, Medina is likely to face deportation proceedings. The debate over the Illinois TRUST Act, which prohibits state and local law enforcement from cooperating with federal immigration officials, may create another tension between federal immigration goals and the state's welcoming policy towards migrants.
