Activist Appeals to Trump Amid Chicago Violence
During a recent interview, activist P-Ray Easley criticized the crime policies of Democratic leaders and urgently asked President Donald Trump to “save” the people of Chicago. This plea follows the tragic shooting death of 18-year-old Loyola University student Sheridan Gorman. Reports indicate that the suspect, an illegal immigrant from Venezuela, was allowed into the U.S. under the Biden administration, as noted by the Department of Homeland Security.
“Please, President Trump, please come and help us,” Easley expressed on “The Story.” She stated, “Sheridan did not deserve to die. We don’t want any more American blood spilled on our sidewalks by these invaders.”
After staying silent following Gorman’s death, Illinois Governor JB Pritzker spoke out, attributing blame to the Trump administration for the situation. “I agree. There have been failures, and they extend beyond Illinois,” he remarked. He emphasized a lack of comprehensive immigration reform and criticized the federal government’s role in enforcing immigration laws.
The White House responded to Pritzker, asserting that he is undermining federal enforcement efforts. White House Press Secretary Abigail Jackson remarked, “These are real solutions to keep Americans safe. Meanwhile, Mr. Pritzker has consistently defended dangerous criminals and sought to obstruct the important work of the Trump administration. His policies make Americans less safe.”
Easley also supported the White House’s stance, claiming that “liberal” local officials are blocking essential immigration operations. She pointed out, “How much longer can we hold out? This isn’t the first woman to face violence from illegal aliens in our city and country.” Easley voiced frustration over local responses to the violence, specifically condemning Chicago Alderman Maria Hadden’s remarks that suggested the shooting may have been a case of “wrong place, wrong time.”
“We condemn every official and media outlet claiming she startled this monster,” Easley insisted, defending Gorman’s actions. “No, she was doing what she had to do.”
The activist issued a heartfelt warning about the state of crime in America, saying, “We’re tired. We need help. I’ve been sitting here for two years asking for the federal government to end policies that have turned Americans into criminals, subsidizing those who shouldn’t even be here.”
Pritzker’s office expressed condolences, stating, “Our thoughts go out to the family, friends, and the Loyola University community grieving this senseless killing. There’s no place for violent crime on our streets, and we expect accountability for those involved. The focus should be on real solutions, including restoring federal funding for violence prevention programs.”
