Angel Dad to Katie Abraham. After losing my daughter to an illegal alien, I’m fighting for secure borders and real accountability to protect American families.

.Senator Dick Durbin, my daughter died in a system shaped by policies you continue to defend. You chose sanctuary policies that give special privileges to those here illegally, while law-abiding Illinois citizens like my family are left unprotected. That’s not compassion. That’s a failure of leadership. Your north star isn’t public safety, it’s ideology. And it’s an ideology with no guardrails, where political priorities come before the lives of the people you were elected to serve. You had the chance to show basic humanity, to acknowledge Katie’s life and death, as other senators in your own party did. Instead, silence. Not a call, not a statement, not even basic human acknowledgment. Silence in the face of tragedy isn’t neutrality. It’s indifference. Illinois families deserve better than leaders who look away when the consequences don’t fit their narrative. You’re retiring, but for many of us, that comes 30 years too late. And whoever you choose to endorse should be rejected just as quickly, because Illinois cannot afford more of the same.

.Adam Carolla is right — but in Illinois, this isn’t just hypocrisy. It’s willful indifference, enabled by a media that protects it. My daughter, Katie Abraham, was killed by someone who should never have been here. That same night, another young woman was killed, and others were severely injured. Multiple lives shattered. Preventable. For 14 months, Governor JB Pritzker has never said Katie’s name. Not once. Instead, he elevates tragedies in other states when it fits his narrative, while ignoring the consequences of his own policies here at home. That’s not leadership. That’s political self-preservation. Senator Dick Durbin sat feet away from me for over two hours during a Senate hearing where I was present. Other Democratic senators, Senator Alex Padilla and Senator Peter Welch, acknowledged Katie, and I appreciated that. We can disagree on policy and still act like decent human beings. Durbin said nothing. Tammy Duckworth told me she didn’t even know Katie’s story. Not oversights. Choices. And it doesn’t stop with politicians. Too much of the Illinois media trades truth for access and Pritzker money, running interference, shaping narratives, and shielding those in power. We’re already seeing it again with the Sheridan Gorman tragedy: twisting a preventable act into confusion, bad luck, or “wrong place at the wrong time,” while sympathy is redirected to the perpetrator instead of the victims. In this environment, victims are minimized, and responsibility disappears. This is what happens when leaders become so ideologically rigid they treat their own righteousness as untouchable. No reassessment. No accountability. And no place for public safety when it conflicts with the narrative. Katie was 20 years old. She mattered. The other young woman mattered. Every person injured that night matters. They will not be erased to protect political careers, or the media that shields them. If nothing changes, it will be business as usual. And that should outrage every person in Illinois.

.Governor JB Pritzker, you cannot blame the federal government for your failures. You’ve chosen to limit cooperation with federal immigration enforcement and advance sanctuary policies, but you haven’t put equally strong safeguards in place to protect your own citizens and uphold public safety. You favor illegal immigrants and provide special privileges and consideration which citizens are not entitled to. You cannot have it both ways. You don’t get to deflect blame when the consequences surface. If you choose to sideline federal frameworks, the responsibility doesn’t disappear, it shifts squarely onto your shoulders. That means owning the outcomes, not pointing fingers when things go wrong. Right now, what’s missing isn’t just policy clarity, it’s accountability. Leadership isn’t about ideology; it’s about responsibility. If your policies create gaps, you answer for those gaps. If your approach introduces risk, you confront it directly. Silence, deflection, and blame-shifting aren’t leadership, they’re avoidance. So you’re either the governor of Illinois, or you’re not. Leadership means owning the outcomes of your decisions, not shifting responsibility when those decisions are questioned. Either you take responsibility for the system you’ve built, or you admit it isn’t working. But refusing to do either erodes trust and leaves the public without clear answers from the person ultimately in charge. And silence on cases like Katie’s only deepens the sense that responsibility is being avoided. Say her name: Katie Abraham.

It’s hard to ignore the pattern. My daughter Katie’s death was a devastating, preventable tragedy, yet too often her story has been disrespected or erased. Meanwhile, Illinois leaders like Governor JB Pritzker, Senator Dick Durbin, and Tammy Duckworth have been far more vocal in cases that align with their political priorities, especially when it comes to criticizing federal agencies. That contrast raises real questions. Why do some tragedies get immediate acknowledgment while others are met with silence? Why do some families feel heard, while others feel invisible? This isn’t about left or right. It’s about consistency. When leaders ignore certain victims for ideological or political reasons, it erodes trust. Every life deserves recognition. Empathy shouldn’t be selective. Leadership shouldn’t depend on the narrative. Watch my opening statement at yesterday’s Senate Judiciary Republicans hearing👇
