Angel mom Tammy Nobles warned lawmakers Wednesday that families of Americans killed by immigrants in the country illegally will continue confronting Congress until lawmakers take action on sanctuary city policies and illegal immigration.
“If you guys don’t do anything, it will continue to happen, and we will continue having those meetings, and we’ll not be quiet and shut up about our children that were killed by illegal immigrants,” she said on “America’s Newsroom.”
“We’re not gonna stop, and you’re gonna listen to us every single time if you want to or not.”

Nobles’ remarks came after fellow angel mom Jessica Gorman drew media attention for her tearful testimony before a House Judiciary subcommittee Tuesday.
Gorman’s daughter, 18-year-old Loyola University Chicago freshman Sheridan Gorman, was allegedly shot and killed by an illegal immigrant after going to the Chicago lakefront with friends to see the Northern Lights earlier this year. Sheridan’s grieving mother accused sanctuary city leaders and politicians of failing to protect her daughter and begged lawmakers to “choose” American citizens over illegal immigrants.
“I’m just asking you to choose us. We choose you,” Gorman pleaded.

“Why does my child matter less than an illegal immigrant…? Every day, I wake up with unimaginable pain. I wake up in the middle of the night and I think, ‘Did my daughter cry for me?’ She made it 40 feet… running for her life. Did she cry out for me? She died on that pavement all by herself, lonely, bleeding on that pavement, and I will never, ever rest…”
Nobles expressed similar pain and frustration with the status quo. Her daughter, Kayla Hamilton, was raped and strangled by an MS-13 gang member in 2022. Since then, Nobles has advocated for families like hers and appeared before Congress to challenge lawmakers she says have been flippant about the policies she believes contribute to such crimes.
“I had been sharing Kayla’s story to prevent this from happening, and the Democrats on the panel just say the same thing: ‘I’m sorry for your loss’ and ‘We’re tired of being [there].’ Well, I’m sure you’re tired of being in there. It’s going to continue to happen [unless something changes].”
