You know us.
For years, you watched and listened to our coverage of the Chicago area. As journalists, we did our best to bring you accurate, objective information about the people, events and issues that mattered. We hope we gained your trust.
So please trust us now when we say that what is happening in the Chicago area is wrong. The fact that some federal immigration forces may be leaving soon is cold comfort given the damage theyโve done and what they may do in other cities.
We are retired, but our colleagues who are still on the job have shown you a brutal and illegal campaign against fellow Chicagoans, mainly Latinos: violent abductions, gutting families, using tear gas around children, roughing up witnesses, ramming cars and even taking a day care teacher from her school.
"You know us...So please trust us now when we say that what is happening in the Chicago area is wrong."
Powerful letter from retired Chicago broadcast journalists about what ICE/CBP is doing to our city: "it is terror"

Trump's own lawyer just admitted to the Supreme Court that American consumers pay 30%-80% of these insane Trump tariffs.
Over the next 10 years, Trump says they will collect over $4T in tariffs.
So that means American families are going to be paying $1.2T-$3.3 trillion dollars in TARIFF TAXES.

Mamdani: "My message to ICE agents & to everyone across this city is that everyone will be held to the same standard of the law. If you violate it, you must be held accountable. There is sadly a sense growing that certain people are allowed to violate that law, whether they be POTUS or ICE agents."

Pope Leo calls for โdeep reflectionโ about treatment of detained migrants in U.S.
โMany people who have lived for years and years and years, never causing problems, have been deeply affected by what is going on right now,โ Chicago-born pope says.
"Pope Leo said Scripture emphasizes the question that will be posed at the end of the world:
'How did you receive the foreigner, did you receive him and welcome him, or not? I think there is a deep reflection that needs to be made about what is happening'..."

But I do know that this isnโt sustainable. Abolish ICE. There is no way to reform this.

Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.

Our work is NOT done.
"Centrist" Senate Dems are negotiating to end the shutdown in exchange for "promises" to extend #ACAcredits down the line.
