The newspaper listed several surrounding neighborhoods it planned to monitor and asked readers to send reports of ICE activity to its staff, which would update a map with pins.
The Dominican Star did not immediately respond to requests for comment from Fox News Digital.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) confirmed Sunday that the suspect in Gorman’s murder is Jose Medina-Medina, a “Venezuelan criminal illegal alien” who was arrested by the U.S. Border Patrol and released into the country in 2023 under the Biden administration.
Medina-Medina was released again a month after his arrest for theft.

The Loyola Phoenix went viral with a mea culpa after pushing back against a social media headline calling Medina-Medina “illegal immigrants.”
“On March 23, a post on The Phoenix’s Instagram page carried the headline: ‘Immigrant Man Charged with Sheridan Gorman Murder, Involved in DHS,'” an editor’s note at the bottom of a report on Gorman’s murder said.
“This headline did not reflect the most important elements of the story and was removed minutes later to prevent further harm to affected community members.”
