Sentencing resumed on Wednesday for the remaining convicted defendants in the first federal antifa terrorism case, resulting in prison sentences ranging from two to 50 years.

Seven additional members of a Texas antifa cell were sentenced to spend lengthy stretches in federal prison after eight of their coconspirators received a combined punishment of 450 years behind bars for carrying out a July 2025 attack on an Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility that left a local police officer wounded from gunfire.

JESSICA GORMAN, SHERIDAN GORMAN'S MOTHER, AT CONGRESSIONAL HEARING" WHY ARE ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS MORE IMPORTANY THAN MY DAUGHTER...

Jessica Gorman, the mother of victim Sheridan Gorman, who was killed by an undocumented immigrant, shares emotional testimony before a House Judiciary subcommittee. Gorman asked members of Congress to "look me in the eye and explain to me why illegal immigrants are more important than my daughter."

JESSICA GORMAN: Hi, my name is Sheridan Gorman. I'm sorry. My name is Jessica Gorman.

I'm the mother of Sheridan Grace Gorman. Sheridan was 18 years old. She was a freshman at Loyola University Chicago.

She was beautiful. She was funny, faithful, loving, full of plans to build something with her life. On March 19th, Sheridan went with friends to the lakefront in Chicago because they hoped they might see the northern lights.

She never saw those lights. The man accused of murdering my daughter is Jose Medina, an illegal immigrant from Venezuela who should not have even been in this country. And even after committing a crime and having an outstanding warrant, he was left on the streets of Chicago to murder my innocent American child.

But this story, it's not about him. This story is about my Sheridan. It's about how failed border policies, sanctuary city laws, and twisted leaders refused to cooperate with ICE.

They sent her to her grave. It's about a government and politicians that forgot their first priority. And the question before this committee is painfully simple.

When did protecting our American citizens stop being your first priority? And even more important, why did protecting our American citizens stop being your first priority? I want an explanation. TRANSCRIPT AND VIDEO AT Sheridan Gorman's mother at congressional hearing: "Why are illegal immigrants more important than my daughter?"
