The event examined sanctuary policies in Illinois and California that have put \u201cthe interests of criminal aliens ahead of the interests of Americans.\u201d Prosecutors charged Jose Medina-Medina with the murder of 18-year-old Sheridan Gorman, CBS News reported. The Homeland Security Department (DHS) said Medina-Medina is a Venezuelan illegal immigrant who had previously been arrested for shoplifting and released in Chicago, Illinois.<\/p>\n<p>Gorman recalled the night her daughter was killed. \u201cThe man accused of murdering my daughter [\u2026] is an illegal immigrant from Venezuela who should not have even been in this country,\u201d she said. \u201cAnd even after committing a crime and having an outstanding warrant, he was left on the streets of Chicago to murder my innocent American child.\u201d <strong>(RELATED: Markwayne Mullin Tells Sanctuary Cities What They Might Lose If They Refuse To Cooperate With DHS)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cFailed border policies and sanctuary city laws and twisted leaders refused to cooperate with ICE,\u201d Gormon said. \u201cThey sent her to her grave.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201c[This story is about] a government and politicians that forgot their first priority,\u201d Gormon added. \u201cAnd the question before this committee is painfully simple: When did protecting our American citizens stop being your first priority?
