DHS officials have publicly requested that Illinois authorities-citing the state's sanctuary policies-not release him pending federal immigration proceedings.Gorman's family released a statement expressing profound grief, describing her as "the light of our lives" with a bright future ahead, and calling for full prosecution under state and federal law.
