Ro Khanna, calling this “just a drunk driving case” is dishonest by omission. Yes, Katie was killed by an intoxicated driver. But you’re leaving out the facts that don’t fit your politics. This was preventable and predictable. Here is what you purposefully left out of your one-sided compassion and equation: Julio Cucul-Bol was convicted of killing Katie while driving intoxicated. He had already been deported once before reentering through the porous border policies you supported. He used aliases and false documents and now faces federal charges. In open court, through an interpreter, he said he could not speak, read, or write English or Spanish—yet he possessed an Illinois driver’s license. How does that happen? Through policies people like you defend. Federal authorities knew he was not who he claimed to be, yet Illinois did not cooperate. Court records also show he is only now being treated for HIV after living in our communities unlawfully. So let’s be honest: the policies you support did not take care of anyone—not Katie, not the communities put at risk, and not even the man your system enabled and then neglected. These are not side details—they are central facts. I sat in the Oversight hearing on June 12, 2025 for over eight hours. Not one Democrat lawmaker acknowledged Katie’s life or death. Not Jan Schakowsky. Not her chosen replacement Daniel Biss. Not J.B. Pritzker. Not you. I would have welcomed even a moment of humanity. I saw none. So forgive me if your words ring hollow. But I will speak with anyone—Republican, Democrat, or independent—if it helps spare another family from living the nightmare we now carry every day.
