Loyola University student Sheridan Gorman

Former Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich joined Laura Ingraham on Fox News to discuss the tragic and preventable murder of 18-year-old Loyola University student Sheridan Gorman.

Early in the morning on Thursday of last week, 18-year-old Loyola University student Sheridan Gorman was shot and killed near the Chicago campus by one of Joe Biden’s illegals.

The masked gunman approached a group of students walking in the Rogers Park neighborhood and opened fire, shooting Gorman in the head. She died at the scene.

On Sunday, it was confirmed that the masked gunman who killed Gorman is a 25-year-old illegal alien from Venezuela who entered the US under the Biden Regime. Police took Jose Medina-Medina into custody.

In its coverage of the tragedy, Loyola’s campus newspaper, The Phoenix, has caved to the woke mob by changing wording in the coverage of the murder of one of its own to placate the left’s agenda.

While originally referring to Medina as an illegal immigrant, they edited the post to frame him as a “Rogers Park Resident.”

The College Fix reports:

Campus newspaper The Phoenix originally reported on the charges with an Instagram post titled: “Immigrant Man Charged in Murder of Sheridan Gorman, DHS Involved.”

The original post also referred to Medina as an “illegal immigrant.”

However, facing backlash, the student newspaper edited the post to remove the term “illegal immigrant.” The newspaper refers to Medina as a “Rogers Park Resident,” referring to the Chicago neighborhood where Loyola’s main campus is located.

An editor’s note was added to the original story, which spent almost as much time bemoaning the “harm” of calling the alleged murderer what he is than spent on the tragic death of a young woman just beginning her life.

Editor’s Note:

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.”

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.

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. That language does not align with Associated Press style, nor does it align with the values of this newspaper.

No human’s existence is illegal, and we quickly changed our wording to reflect that.

We acknowledge the harm such language can cause and the power and importance of the words we choose to use. 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.

President Trump and Pope Leo XIV have been trading barbs about the Pontiff weighing in on American politics.

Trump recently blasted the Pope as “weak on crime” and “terrible for foreign policy.”

In addition to slamming U.S. involvement in Iran,  the Pope has repeatedly slammed the Trump administration’s stance against illegal immigration.

Border Czar, a lifelong Catholic, speaking outside the White House, told reporters the Vatican doesn’t know what they are talking about.

“I’m not going to speak for the President, I’m speaking for myself, a lifelong Catholic,” Holman told reporters. “I wish they’d stay out of immigration. They don’t know what they’re talking about.”

“Because if they wore my shoes for 40 years, and talked to a 9-year-old girl that got r*ped multiple times, or stood in the back of a tractor-trailer with 19 dead aliens at my feet, including a 5-year-old boy that baked to death, if they understood the atrocities that happened on the open border, I think their opinion would change!”

“And I welcome discussion with any of them, because they don’t understand illegal immigration is not a victimless crime.”

“Where President Trump had the most secure border in the lifetime of this nation, right now, lives are being saved. He’s saving thousands of lives a year because he has a secure border.”

“Human traffickers are out of business, right?”

“The cartels are going bankrupt because of that secure border.”

“I wish they’d understand that.”

“Because if they did, I think they’d have a different opinion.”

President Trump, it’s easy to destroy all the clueless, ignorant, bleeding-heart, communist, hypocritical arguments of Pope Leo.

Simply CHALLENGE HIM!

Be the modern-day Ronald Reagan. Reagan changed the world by standing in front of the Berlin Wall and speaking directly to the Soviet Union leader. Reagan made history by saying forcefully……

“Mr. Gorbachev, TEAR DOWN THIS WALL!”

President Trump needs to travel to Italy, and stand outside the Vatican, in front of the media of the world, and issue this powerful challenge to the Pope…

“Pope Leo, TEAR DOWN THIS WALL!”

The Pope is upset at the way President Trump, DHS, ICE, and America treat illegal aliens. The Pope says he loves everyone. To him, no one is illegal. The Pope thinks we should be welcoming illegal aliens by the millions. And of course, he hates our wall.

No problem. Here is the 3-part solution…

First, challenge Pope Leo to knock down those Vatican walls, and start inviting immigrants and migrants from around the globe in. You take care of them all. From now on, Pope, they are all yours!

Make the Vatican grounds look like New York City, or LA, or San Francisco, or Chicago. Good luck.

Liberals (i.e., communists) like Pope Leo love to complain about walls, and gates, and guard houses, and guards with guns…

While they live behind walls, gates, guard houses, and are surrounded by militarized guards with guns.

And those same liberal hypocrites think once someone invades our country, and illegally breaks into our country, it’s now our responsibility to feed and house them for the rest of their lives- even if it bankrupts us.

Even if they murder, rape, and assault innocent Americans. Women and children.

So, here is Part 2 of this powerful challenge…

Once all these millions of poor, unskilled, military-age males and pregnant women are inside the Vatican, Pope Leo, please accept that they are your responsibility for life.

Please acknowledge that the Vatican and the Catholic Church are responsible for them. Forever. You pay their bills. You pay for their welfare, food stamps, housing, free medical, and school for their millions of children. You pay for their police, court, and prison costs.

Dear Pope, if you love them so much, then you pay the bill.

Finally, we come to Part 3 of the challenge to Pope Leo…

President Trump needs to announce that the USA will start deporting millions of our illegal aliens to the Vatican. We don’t want them, and you claim you do, so here’s your chance, Pope. Let’s test if your actions match your words.

From now on, they’re yours.

Our first deportation flights will take off for the Vatican tomorrow. Are you in?

If the Pope is such a fan of illegal aliens…and migrants from Muslim countries…and MS-13…and terrorists…and drug traffickers…and pedophiles…and murderers…and rapists…

And if the Pope thinks we are “mean, heartless Americans” for not wanting to pay for them…and feed them…and for wanting them gone…

Then, from now on, he can take in our millions of illegal immigrants and migrants at the Vatican.

Call his bluff, President Trump.

The big-mouth, clueless, communist, hypocrite Pope can say all the nice things he wants about migrants, and felons, and illegal invaders, but he says it all from afar…surrounded by big walls, and guarded by heavily-armed militarized guards- the Vatican Army.

That’s rich.

Who does he think he is? Barack Obama? Nancy Pelosi? Joe Biden? Illinois Governor JB Pritzker? California Governor Gavin Newsom? Kamala Harris? Hillary Clinton?

All these powerful Democrats live just like the Pope.

In mansions, behind walls and gates, and protected by armed guards. They never see or touch illegal aliens. There are no homeless tents and drug addicts sleeping on the lawn inside their gates. These filthy rich DEmocrat hypocrites all ride in limos and fly private jets. Their children go to fancy, all-white, private schools that cost $60,000 a year.

Just like Pope Leo, the only migrants they ever see are cleaning their toilets or mowing their lawns.

It’s easy to criticize others who have to actually live with the “unwashed, unhoused” masses of migrants, a large percentage of whom are criminals, when you fly above in your private jet, or drive by in your limo, or watch from afar, inside your gated mansion.

It’s really easy to tell others to pay for their bills when the Vatican and the Catholic Church don’t have to pay a dime. The money comes from American taxpayers- and by the way, Pope, millions of those taxpayers are your Catholic parishioners.

And it’s also easy to tell us to accept millions of illegals when you’ve conned and scammed the U.S. government into handing Catholic Charities billions of dollars annually to help bring illegals into the USA.

In other words…what a SCAM you’ve got going, Pope…

American taxpayers pay the bills, and you get paid. And the more illegals who break into our country, the more money the Catholic Church makes.

So, from now on, Pope Leo, they are yours, and their bills are yours. Forever. They’re your responsibility.

Please accept President Trump’s challenge…
