YORKTOWN, NY — The grieving parents of the 18-year-old Westchester County native killed by an illegal migrant in Chicago ripped Gov. Kathy Hochul and New York Democrats Friday, demanding they reverse new, sweeping sanctuary laws.
“Frankly I’m furious that the politicians we chose did not choose us in return,” Sheridan Gorman’s mother, Jessica Gorman, said, crying, as dozens of supporters standing behind her fought back tears.
“I worry that another parent will collapse on their child’s bed,” she said, describing the ongoing pain she feels from her daughter’s loss.
The distraught mom and her husband were flanked by Republican gubernatorial candidate Bruce Blakeman — who they urged voters to support in November.
“I worry about your children, the children of New York,” Jessica Gorman said, deriding Albany Dems.
Her daughter, a freshman Loyal University student, was attacked by a migrant who’d had multiple run-ins with law-enforcement before he murdered her in cold blood as she walked to see the northern lights one night with friends last year. She was a graduate of Yorktown High School.
GOP Hudson Valley Rep. Mike Lawler, who is up for re-election in November, was also on hand for the presser, which took place outside the Yorktown Police Department.
Blakeman, the Nassau County executive, will face Democrat incumbent Hochul who is running for a second full, four-year term.
