Show Notes
On March19, 2026,18-year-old Loyola University freshman Sheridan Gorman was murdered by an illegal alien. Sadly, this tragedy is just one of many.
Last week, The Heritage Foundation produced a powerful 20-minute documentary, Preventable, to share Sheridan’s story with the world from the perspective of her family and examine the policy breakdowns that preceded her death.
In this episode of the Parliament, Darion speaks with Heritage’s Director of Border Security and Immigration Lora Ries about Sheridan’s story, Lora’s experience with the documentary, and what the case reveals about the state of immigration enforcement in the United States.
Watch the powerful testimony of Sheridan’s family in our new 20-minute documentary, Preventable.

The war against Hamas in Gaza after the brutal Oct. 7th terrorist attacks was arguably the first global information war. Battles over narratives waged just as intensely as the kinetic war, constantly obscuring what is actually true. Apart from claims of “genocide” nowhere was this more apparent than in the informational battle over a supposed “famine” and humanitarian aid.
October 7th 2023 was a watershed moment for the world. Everything has changed, not just in the Middle East, but around the world.
What happens when a social media campaign can move thousands of people toward an international border before governments, journalists, or even the platforms themselves fully understand what's happening?
On the eve of the 1-year anniversary of the historic signing of the Armenia-Azerbaijan Framework for Peace and Cooperation, Darion sits down with the Ambassador of the Republic of Armenia to the United States, H.E. Narek Mkrtchyan.
The Middle East is rapidly transforming before our very eyes. It seems that every day there is a new major development that would have been impossible to predict just five years ago. While conventional wisdom argued that any attack on Iran by the USA would result in U.S. and Israeli isolation from Arab countries in the region, the opposite has become the reality.
