一名少女疑似被一名曾被美国驱逐出境的非法移民杀害，其悲惨身亡如今成为她家乡的一起政治导火索。
A teenage girl's tragic death, allegedly at the hands of an illegal immigrant who was previously deported from the U.S., has now become a political flashpoint in her hometown.
谢里丹·戈尔曼悲痛欲绝的父母本周早些时候在一场选举辩论中，直接向两位竞选纽约郊区该选区议席的候选人呼吁社会亟须改变。他们询问民主党人凯特·康利和现任纽约州共和党众议员迈克·劳勒，是否支持废除纽约州禁止地方执法部门与美国移民及海关执法局（ICE）合作的法律。
Sheridan Gorman's grieving parents made their heartbreaking plea for change directly to the two candidates running to represent their district in suburban New York during an electoral debate earlier this week. They asked Democrat Cait Conley and incumbent Rep. Mike Lawler, R-N.Y., whether they supported ending New York State's law barring local law enforcement from cooperating with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
今年3月，这名18岁的洛约拉大学学生深夜与朋友走在芝加哥大学校园附近时遭枪击身亡。美国国土安全部表示，嫌疑人何塞·梅迪纳是委内瑞拉国民，于2023年5月非法进入美国，随后被上一届政府释放。
The 18-year-old Loyola University student was shot and killed while walking with friends late at night near her Chicago college campus in March of this year. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has said the accused, Jose Medina, is a Venezuelan national who came to the U.S. illegally in May 2023 and was released by the prior administration.
国土安全部称，他次月在芝加哥因店铺行窃被捕，但很快又被释放。芝加哥和伊利诺伊州均为庇护辖区，这意味着当地执法部门也被禁止与移民及 customs 执法局合作。
He was arrested for shoplifting in Chicago the next month but released again, DHS said. Both Chicago and Illinois are sanctuary jurisdictions, meaning law enforcement there are also barred from cooperating with ICE. GRIEVING PARENTS OF SLAIN STUDENT SHERIDAN GORMAN SPEAK OUT: 'WE CAN'T LET THIS HAPPEN TO ANOTHER FAMILY' Gorman's killing fast became a rallying cry for supporters of President Donald Trump's crackdown on illegal immigration.
遇害学生谢里丹·戈尔曼悲痛欲绝的父母发声：“我们不能让另一个家庭也遭遇这种事” 戈尔曼遇害案很快成为支持特朗普总统严厉打击非法移民人士的号召。
Lawler, who is fighting an uphill battle for a third term representing New York's 17th Congressional District, has also argued it is an example of what could happen more often if Democrats win control on Capitol Hill. "Look, I've been very clear there should be reforms of ICE.
劳勒正在艰难争取第三个任期，代表纽约州第17国会选区。他也称，这起案件表明，如果民主党人拿下国会控制权，类似事件可能会更频繁发生。
They should wear body cameras. They should not wear masks. They should wear uniforms. They shouldn't be going into places like the Home Depot parking lot. They should be very targeted in what they are doing.
“我已经非常明确地表示，应当对美国移民与海关执法局（ICE）进行改革。他们应佩戴执法记录仪，不应蒙面，应穿着制服，不应前往家得宝超市停车场之类的场所。他们的行动必须精准、有针对性。纽约州等州应与ICE合作，遣返非法犯罪移民。”劳勒周三告诉《福克斯新闻》数字网站，“所以，我认为，如果民主党获胜，他们将竭尽所能，回到拜登时代移民政策宽松、执法松懈的局面，并试图切断ICE和[美国边境巡逻队]的资源。就我而言，我绝不会支持这种做法。”
And states like New York should be cooperating with them to deport criminal illegal aliens," Lawler told Fox News Digital on Wednesday. "So look, I think the challenge here will be if Democrats win, they will do everything they can to return to the Biden-era of lax immigration policy, lax enforcement, and try to cut off the resources of ICE and [Border Patrol], and I, for one, just will not support that." DEM CANDIDATE CLEARS CROWDED FIELD TO FACE TRUMP-BACKED INCUMBENT IN NY His district could be one of the few that decides control of the House for the latter half of President Trump's final term. Gorman's parents tearfully said during his debate against Conley this week, "The man charged with her murder was here illegally and had previously been arrested for a crime and released under Chicago's sanctuary policies.
民主党候选人在众多竞争者中脱颖而出，将 在纽约州挑战获得特朗普支持的现任议员。他的选区可能是决定特朗普总统最后一个任期后半段众议院控制权的少数几个选区之一。
A simple five-second phone call between local and federal law enforcement would have saved her life." Conley responded to them first, "My heart absolutely breaks, and what happened to Sheridan is inexcusable. Government failed her.
戈尔曼的父母在本周戈尔曼与康利的辩论中含泪表示：“那个被指控谋杀她的人是非法入境的；他此前曾因犯罪被捕，但根据芝加哥的‘庇护政策’被释放。如果当地执法部门与联邦执法部门能简单地进行一次五秒钟的电话沟通，或许就能挽救她的生命。”
And for that, we have to make sure that that doesn't happen again." "Immigration enforcement is essential," she said, though added, "What is happening under this administration, unfortunately, is not a focus on violent criminals, but what we're seeing is them rolling up people like grandmas and nurses, people in our communities."
康利首先回应道：“我的心碎了，谢里登所遭遇的一切实在令人无法原谅。政府辜负了她，我们必须确保这种事情不再发生。”
Lawler then accused Conley of dodging the question, adding, "She does support Kathy Hochul's new law, and she would not support federal legislation to end sanctuary policies.
她接着说：“加强移民执法措施至关重要。”不过她也指出：“遗憾的是，现任政府并没有将重点放在打击暴力罪犯上，反而把目标对准了像谢里登这样的普通民众（比如老人和护士）。”
Let me be very clear: I stand with you. I am against Kathy Hochul's disastrous new law, and I support any legislation that will end sanctuary jurisdictions in this country."
劳勒随后指责康利在回避问题，并补充道：“她实际上支持凯西·霍丘尔的新法案，也不愿意支持任何旨在废除‘庇护政策’的联邦立法。我明确表示：我站在你们这边。我反对凯西·霍丘尔的那项糟糕的新法案，同时支持任何能够终结这种‘庇护政策’的立法。”
DHS BOSS REVEALS OVAL OFFICE PLAN TO 'WITHHOLD FUNDING' FROM SANCTUARY CITIES AFTER AGGRESSIVE NEW YORK BUST It came weeks after the Gormans took the stage alongside Lawler at the GOP's 2026 midterm convention in Dallas, Texas. "The Gormans have more courage than any Democrat member of Congress who voted against protecting our citizens from criminal illegals," Lawler said in introducing them.
几周前，戈尔曼夫妇曾在德克萨斯州达拉斯举行的共和党2026年中期选举大会上与劳勒一同登台发言。劳勒在介绍他们时说：“戈尔曼夫妇比那些投票反对保护本国公民免受罪犯侵害的民主党议员更有勇气。他们虽然没有参选，但谢里登的遭遇正是糟糕政策的直接后果——这样的政策我们绝不能再容忍了。”
"They are not running for office, but their story — Sheridan's story — is the direct result of bad policy. Policies we cannot afford to get back to every again." OUTGOING HOUSE DEMOCRAT BACKS INCUMBENT REPUBLICAN LAWMAKER FOR RE-ELECTION The teenager's story again popped up in new ads released by Lawler's campaign on Wednesday.
周三，劳勒的竞选团队发布了新的广告，其中再次提到了这个少女的悲惨遭遇。
In one of the spots, Gorman's mother tearfully tells the viewer, "He just shot her. Just shot her.
在其中一段画面中，戈尔曼的母亲含泪告诉观众：“他刚刚枪杀了她。就是枪杀了她。追杀她。我原以为自己了解庇护城市政策，但我并不了解。”
Hunted her down. I thought I knew what sanctuary city policies are, I didn't."
谢里丹·戈尔曼的母亲严厉斥斥州立法者，称他们拒绝倾听遇害美国人的家属“凯茜·霍丘尔和民主党人推动的庇护政策害死了我们的女儿。”她的父亲说，“这些政策让我无法保护她。”她的母亲补充道：“但迈克·劳勒能做到。”
SHERIDAN GORMAN’S MOM SCORCHES DEM LAWMAKERS SHE SAYS REFUSED TO HEAR FAMILIES OF SLAIN AMERICANS "The sanctuary policies being pushed by Kathy Hochul and Democrats killed our daughter," her father said. "I couldn't protect her from these policies." Her mother added, "But Mike Lawler can."
非法移民问题是2024年的主要议题之一。共和党正试图利用选民对拜登政府更为宽松的边境政策的不满情绪，争取这些选民的支持。
Illegal immigration was one of the top issues in 2024, and Republicans are trying to harness the same backlash from voters who opposed the Biden administration's more lax border policies.
