A Venezuelan migrant has been charged with the murder of Loyola University Chicago student Sheridan Gorman, police announced Sunday, prompting outrage from Trump administration officials who branded her killing as the result of sanctuary policies in Illinois.
Jose Medina, 25, faces charges of first-degree murder, attempted murder and aggravated discharge of a firearm for the March 19 attack near a pier at Tobey Prinz Beach, according to Chicago police.
Federal immigration authorities said U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement issued an arrest detainer naming Medina hours before police announced the charges.
