Joe Abraham’s daughter Katie was injured so badly in a crash caused by a drunken illegal immigrant that her family was denied the dignity of holding an open-casket visitation and funeral. More than a year and a half later, the life-long Illinois Angel Dad says his heart is broken in so many ways it will never fit back together again.

Now Abraham has a warning for his neighbors to the north flirting with electing a socialist governor: Don’t Illinois Wisconsin. 

Illinois, in this case, is a verb. 

“Don’t become Illinois, Wisconsin. Please,” Abraham told me on a recent episode of The Benjamin Yount Show, on NewsTalk 1130 WISN in Milwaukee. 

“I’m not trying to tell anybody how to vote, [but] I’ve seen this play before,” he said of Illinois’ far-left Democrat Gov. JB Pritzker and fellow leftists that control the state’s legislature. “Here’s the thing, what they’ve said in the past is going to be your best judge of what’s going to happen in the future.”

Pritzker’s sanctuary state policies have aided and abetted illegal aliens in breaking U.S. immigration laws — and in helping violent illegal immigrants escape justice. In 2021, the billionaire Democrat signed a suite of bills into law, making Illinois the second state in the nation to block local law enforcement officials from partnering with Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Pritzker’s predecessor, RINO Gov. Bruce Rauner, signed the original TRUST Act in 2017 that began restrictions on local and state law enforcement officials assisting in federal civil immigration enforcement. Pritzker expanded the restrictions. 

Katie Abraham was killed in January 2025 when a vehicle driven by Julio Cucul-Bol, a Guatemalan national, plowed into the car she was riding in. The previously deported illegal alien was drunk and driving his SUV at nearly 80 miles per hour when he collided with the vehicle, stopped at a red light on the University of Illinois campus in Urbana, according to the criminal complaint. Chloe Polzin, 21, who was riding in the backseat with Katie, died at the hospital from her injuries. 

Cucul-Bol was later sentenced to 30 years in prison. It’s unlikely he’ll serve the full sentence.

Abraham has pressed Pritzker for answers. He’s received silence. 

“Katie’s death was not inevitable. It was preventable,” the grieving father said during a Senate committee hearing earlier this year.

He wants Wisconsin voters to hear that message as they head to the polls.
