[0:00] We're also following this. Sheridan Gorman's mother is about to testify at a hearing on sanctuary policies on Capitol Hill.
[0:08] The 18-year-old Loyola University student shot and killed in Chicago back in March.
[0:13] And the feds say the suspect came into the country illegally during the Biden administration
[0:19] and then was released twice even after a shoplifting arrest.
[0:25] Sheridan's mother calling her killing preventable.
[0:28] Congressman Mike Lawler is introducing her right now. Let's listen in live.
[0:32] It should not have happened. Our immigration policies exist for a reason, and they should have been enforced.
[0:42] Sheridan would still be with us today, and Jessica would not have to testify before this panel.
[0:48] Our immigration laws facilitate legal immigration processes to ensure that good, smart people can come into this country,
[0:56] assimilate and contribute to our communities, while also ensuring that criminals who break the law do not get to stay.
[1:07] Their jobs are made infinitely harder when places like New York and Chicago blatantly disregard existing law
[1:14] and provide safe harbor to criminals.
[1:16] Sanctuary policies are the reason.
[1:20] Mr. Chairman, point of order, this is a statement, not an introduction.
[1:25] General, ladies, point is well taken.
[1:27] General, please confine his remarks to the introduction.
[1:30] Thank you.
[1:32] Back in May of 2023, over three years ago, Sheridan's murderer illegally entered the United States.
[1:41] Border Patrol caught him.
[1:43] They apprehended him, but then because of the Biden administration's ludicrous open border policies,
[1:51] he was released into our country.
[1:53] A month later, he was arrested for shoplifting in Chicago.
[1:58] Under existing law and the law at the time, he should have been deported right then and there.
[2:04] And if Chicago are abiding by our federal laws, you all should be ashamed of yourselves.
[2:09] Point of order, this is not an introduction.
[2:10] It's a speech.
[2:10] You should be ashamed of yourselves.
[2:13] Mr. Chairman, Mr. Chairman, we have his mother.
[2:15] Point of order, is here.
[2:16] Mr. Chairman.
[2:17] Precisely because you have failed to do your job.
[2:20] Yes, we will.
[2:20] You wonder why we had four year, four hearings?
[2:23] It's because you don't understand the consequence of sanctuary policy.
[2:27] Mr. Chairman, unfortunately, we won't give our approval for people to introduce their constituents
[2:33] if people don't stick to the rules.
[2:34] So I appreciate the chairman's insistence that we stick to the rules
[2:38] and that you have the opportunity to introduce your constituent, which I think you have done.
[2:43] Right, and introducing my constituent is...
[2:44] So thank you very much, Mr. Lawler.
[2:45] And Mr. Chairman, please have the committee be in order.
[2:46] ...sharing the details of her death.
[2:48] Please have the committee be in order.
[2:49] You may not want to hear the details.
[2:51] It may be an inconvenience to you.
[2:53] Mr. Chairman...
[2:53] But these details matter.
[2:55] The gentleman will suspend.
[2:57] We have an agreement with the minority that the introductions will be introductory only.
[3:03] So if I could just ask for the gentleman to make that introduction and conclude.
[3:07] Sure.
[3:07] When you send your kid to college, you should be worried about making sure they go to class,
[3:17] or hopefully that they have a nice roommate, or how to help them get a summer internship.
[3:23] Not worried that illegal immigrants are shooting them while they're out with their friends looking at the northern lights.
[3:32] It is shameful that we are here.
[3:36] Not because this is the fourth hearing, but because we need to have four hearings to make people understand the real-life consequences of the disastrous sanctuary city policies.
[3:51] So while some of my colleagues may not want to hear the truth, the same outrage you feel about Renee Goode and Alex Preddy, you should feel about Sheridan Gorman and Lake and Riley and every angel family in this country.
[4:07] I do feel that outrage.
[4:09] You do not.
[4:09] Because if you did, you would not support sanctuary jurisdiction.
[4:13] Do you feel the outrage about Alex Preddy and Renee Goode?
[4:15] You should be ashamed of yourself.
[4:17] You should be ashamed of yourself, Jamie.
[4:18] You should get the hell out of here.
[4:19] You're a disgrace.
[4:19] You don't understand the rules of the committee.
[4:20] You don't understand the Constitution.
[4:22] You're a disgrace.
[4:22] You're full of it.
[4:23] Mr. Raskin, you're an absolute disgrace supporting sanctuary policies.
[4:26] Say one word about Alex Preddy and Renee Goode.
[4:30] I did.
[4:30] I wrote a whole New York Times op-ed about it.
[4:33] You should be absolutely ashamed of yourself.
[4:35] Okay, then follow the rules of the committee.
[4:35] You're not opposing sanctuary policies that resulted in their daughter's death.
[4:41] The committee will be in order.
[4:42] Mr. Chairman, I just want to say we will not allow, thanks to Mr. Lawler's outrageous outburst, we will not allow this to happen again.
[4:50] This was an agreement between the chair and the ranking member.
[4:53] And unfortunately, you're not able to control your members, so it is time for us to proceed.
[4:58] Your opening statement was outrageous.
[5:00] We will proceed.
[5:01] You should be ashamed of yourself.
[5:02] We will proceed.
[5:03] In order.
