Register here.
20-year-old Katie Abraham was killed in Illinois last year by an illegal immigrant drunk driver who rear-ended her car at 80 miles per hour while she was stopped at a traffic light. Her friend Chloe Polzin was also killed and three others were injured.
The man who killed Katie was using an alias, and is unable to read or write in English or Spanish. Yet he obtained an Illinois driver’s license, and had ignored court appearances related to previous traffic violations — all of which escaped the attention of Illinois state government.
Governor Pritzker was sent this letter in January by Katie’s father, Joe Abraham, on the anniversary of Katie’s death. The letter asks common-sense questions, but Joe has yet to receive any sort of acknowledgement or answers from the governor.
Joe has been a relentless advocate for Katie and changes to sanctuary law -- see a few examples here, here, here and here.
Tom Bevan, co-founder and president of Real Clear Politics, will discuss with Joe what Joe has asked of Governor Pritzker and legislators; about the response – or lack thereof; and the path ahead to make Illinois a place that welcomes lawful immigrant families and protects all community members. And just added — Department of Homeland Security’s Christopher Hull will join the discussion via remote during the Q&A.
Registration is required and space is limited. Register here.
