福克斯独家消息： 在芝加哥学生谢里登·戈尔曼据称被非法移民枪杀后，共和党人加强了对庇护城市政策的审查，一位受害者家属将在周三前往参议院作证。
乔·亚伯拉罕（Joe Abraham）的女儿去年在一场涉及非法移民的肇事逃逸事故中丧生，他将在周三前往参议院宪法小组委员会作证，谈及庇护城市法律——他表示，这些法律导致了他女儿凯蒂·亚伯拉罕（Katie Abraham）和戈尔曼的死亡。
“一名18岁的大学生——一个刚刚开始人生的人——被杀害了，”亚伯拉罕周二在福克斯新闻数字版的评论文章中写道，“而这起事件再次引发了关于政策、执法和问责制的同样痛苦的问题。”

“我们再次面临这样一种可能性：这场悲剧，就像夺走我女儿生命的那场一样，本可以避免，”他继续说道。
亚伯拉罕的女儿在一名醉酒非法移民撞向她的车辆并逃逸后丧生。胡利奥·库库尔-博尔（Julio Cucul-Bol）后来被捕并被判处30年监禁。
当局表示，来自危地马拉的库库尔-博尔曾于2016年被驱逐出境。
此次听证会的标题为“保护美国公民身份II：联邦制、庇护城市与法治”，由密苏里州共和党参议员埃里克·施密特（Eric Schmitt）主持，他担任参议院宪法小组委员会主席。

施密特告诉福克斯新闻数字版，这场听证会在戈尔曼去世前就已筹备，但他指出：“遗憾的是，有这些政策存在，这不会是最后一次发生此类事件。”
“我认为在听证会上强调‘庇护城市’这个术语的含义非常重要，它意味着什么？它意味着庇护地区不会向移民和海关执法局（ICE）通报，当罪犯——包括强奸犯和杀人犯——从监狱获释时，”施密特说，“这太荒谬了。”
施密特周二晚间刚从参议院发言席结束，他在那里宣读了戈尔曼家人声明的一部分。他表示自己尚未与该家庭交谈，但称：“作为一位父亲，我只能想象他们所承受的悲痛。”
“当你把女儿送进大学时，你绝不会想到会发生这样的事，这完全是可以预防的，”施密特说。
听证会将聚焦于庇护城市相关的法律和政策问题，以及这些政策如何影响联邦移民执法、公共安全和联邦与州当局之间的宪法平衡。
这也将是戈尔曼遇袭后首次就庇护城市政策举行的听证会。她的据称凶手，25岁的何塞·梅迪纳-梅迪纳（Jose Medina-Medina），一名委内瑞拉籍男子，已于周五因与芝加哥枪击案有关而被捕，并面临包括一级谋杀在内的多项指控。
根据美国国土安全部的数据，梅迪纳-梅迪纳在2023年被拜登政府拘留两次——一次由美国边境巡逻队拘留，另一次因在伊利诺伊州入店行窃被拘留。两次均被释放。
伊利诺伊州州长JB·普里茨克（JB Pritzker）的政策可能成为听证会期间审查的焦点。听证会还将有前弗吉尼亚州总检察长杰森·米亚雷斯（Jason Miyares）和移民研究中心政策研究主任杰西卡·沃恩（Jessica Vaughan）作为证人出席，与亚伯拉罕共同作证。

亚伯拉罕还要求普里茨克对其政策作出解释。
在福克斯新闻数字版的另一篇评论文章中，亚伯拉罕写道，他向普里茨克发送了一封信，寻求对“他所支持的庇护政策”的解释。
“我要求他在2026年1月19日——凯蒂遇害一周年纪念日——前给予答复，”亚伯拉罕写道，“到目前为止，我没有收到任何回复。”

Chicago killing reignites sanctuary city fight as Angel parent heads to Senate hearing

FIRST ON FOX: An Angel parent is set to testify before the Senate on Wednesday as Republicans intensify scrutiny of sanctuary city policies after the fatal shooting of Chicago student Sheridan Gorman, allegedly by an illegal immigrant.
Joe Abraham, whose daughter was killed in a hit-and-run crash involving an illegal immigrant last year, is set to testify before the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on the Consitution on Wednesday about sanctuary city laws, which he says led to the deaths of his daughter, Katie Abraham, and Gorman.
“An 18-year-old college student — someone just beginning life — has been killed,” Abraham wrote in a Fox News Digital opinion piece on Tuesday. “And once again, the circumstances raise the same painful questions about policy, enforcement and accountability.”

“Once again, we are confronted with the possibility that this tragedy, like the one that took my daughter, might have been prevented,” he continued.
Abraham’s daughter was killed when a drunk illegal immigrant crashed into her vehicle and fled the scene. Julio Cucul-Bol was later arrested and sentenced to 30 years in prison.
Authorities said Cucul-Bol, from Guatemala, had previously been deported from the U.S. in 2016.
The hearing, titled Protecting American Citizenship II: Federalism, Sanctuary Cities, and the Rule of Law, will be led by Sen. Eric Schmitt, R-Mo., who chairs the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on the Constitution.

Schmitt told Fox News Digital that the hearing had been in the works before Gorman’s death, but noted, “sadly, you have these policies in place, this is not going to be the last time.”
“I think it’s important to highlight in the hearing of what does it means [when] people hear the term [sanctuary cities], what does it mean? It means that sanctuary jurisdictions are just not going to tell ICE when criminals, including rapists and murderers, are being released from jail in prison,” Schmitt said. “That’s insane.”
Schmitt had just come from the Senate floor Tuesday evening where he read a portion of a statement from the Gorman family. Schmitt said he had not spoken with the family, but said, “as a dad, I can only imagine the grief that they’re feeling.”
“When you send your daughter off to college, it’s just not what you expect, and it’s totally preventable,” Schmitt said.
The hearing will focus on the legal and policy issues surrounding sanctuary cities and how those policies affect federal immigration enforcement, public safety and the constitutional balance between federal and state authorities.
It will also be the first hearing on sanctuary city policies following Gorman’s death. Her alleged killer, 25-year-old Jose Medina-Medina, a Venezuelan national, was arrested on Friday in connection with the Chicago shooting, and faces multiple charges, including first-degree murder.
Medina-Medina was taken into custody twice in 2023 under the Biden administration, once by U.S. Border Patrol and again for shoplifting in Illinois. He was released both times, according to the Department of Homeland Security.
Democratic Gov. JB Pritzker’s policies will likely be a focal point of scrutiny during the hearing, which will feature former Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares and Jessica Vaughan, director of policy studies at the Center for Immigration Studies, as witnesses alongside Abraham.

Abraham has also demanded answers over Pritzker’s policies.
In a separate opinion piece for Fox News Digital, Abraham wrote that he sent a letter to Pritzker seeking answers “about the sanctuary policies he champions.”
“I asked for a response by January 19, 2026, the one-year anniversary of Katie’s death,” Abraham wrote. “To this day, I have received nothing.”
