WATCH: Karoline Leavitt GOES OFF on Democrats and Illinois Gov JB Pritzker for Protecting Rapists and Murderers Following Killing of Loyola University Student by Illegal Alien

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt cooked the Democrats during a press briefing on Wednesday for shutting down the government to protect illegal aliens following the death of another young American girl at the hands of an illegal alien.

Leavitt kicked off the briefing with an update on the war in Iran and highlighted the chaos caused by the Democrats’ shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security and the Transportation Security Administration.

“Democrats in Congress are forcing American travelers to wait in hours-long lines at airports across the country, robbing TSA officers and other federal workers of their hard earned paychecks that they use to feed their families, and causing billions of dollars in damage to our economy,” Leavitt said before highlighting the human cost and impacts on families missing paychecks, including a father of three who questioned how his family would survive.

“For the Democrats in Congress, the cruelty of this shutdown is the point. Nearly 500 TSA officers have quit since the Democrat shutdown began,” she said.

Afterward, she went off on the Democrats’ motive of seeking to “inflict massive pain on their own constituents to fight for illegal aliens who broke our nation’s laws to come here,” further highlighting the “deadly consequence” felt by Americans and the family of 18-year-old Loyola University student Sheridan Gorman. The teen was shot and killed near campus in Chicago, Illinois, over the weekend by a 25-year-old illegal alien from Venezuela who entered the US under the Biden Regime.

“To make matters even worse, this monster was also released from local custody again after a shoplifting arrest. Where? In the sanctuary city of Chicago in June of 2023,” Leavitt said. But according to Illinois Governor JB Pritzker, whose policies allowed this violent killer to roam free, Trump is to blame for Gorman’s death. As The Gateway Pundit reported, Pritzker credited “a failure to have comprehensive immigration reform” and “a failure of the president to follow his own edict to go after the worst of the worst” for the murder.

Leavitt slammed Pritzker and sanctuary state Democrats for their refusal to cooperate with ICE and the lawless policies of releasing illegal aliens back onto the streets.

“How many more Americans have to die before the Democrats end this madness?” she said.

Leavitt: For nearly six weeks, Democrats in Congress have kept DHS shut down because they care more about illegal aliens than American citizens. You have Democrat elected representatives in states across the country who are willing to inflict massive pain on their own constituents to fight for illegal aliens who broke our nation’s laws to come here.

In recent days, we saw the deadly consequence of this deranged policy of Democrat open borders and an illegal alien first agenda. A beautiful 18-year-old girl, Sheridan Gorman, she was shot and killed in Chicago last Thursday morning while walking in a park with friends. The suspect in custody for murdering her is a Venezuelan illegal alien who was caught and released at the border by the Biden administration in May of 2023. Why would the Biden administration catch and release of Venezuelan illegal alien?

That is not happening anymore under this President, but there are still 10s of 1000s, if not millions, of these illegal aliens in our country, who seek to do harm to innocent Americans like this beautiful young woman whose family will now never be the same because of her death. To make matters even worse, this monster was also released from local custody again after a shoplifting arrest.

Where? In the sanctuary city of Chicago in June of 2023. Again, another innocent American citizen had her life stolen from her because Democrats embrace reckless open border policies and reckless sanctuary city policies, which put criminals back into American communities. How many more Americans have to die before the Democrats end this madness?

President Trump’s position is very clear: He wants the federal government opened, he wants the Department of Homeland Security funded, and he wants the Democrat shutdown to end immediately. The President will also continue to call on Democrat leaders in sanctuary cities and states like JB Pritzker, where this young, beautiful girl was murdered, to cooperate with ICE and stop releasing illegal alien criminals into American neighborhoods.

It is for the safety of every American citizen, including all of the people in this room.
