Several Chicago newsrooms have been quietly collaborating to bring big ICE stories to the forefront.

In this story today, we found that feds used chemical weapons on Chicagoans at least 49 times during immigration raids β€” even after a judge said to stop.

In 2023, now DHS scty Kristi Noem set up a company in Delaware.

4 mins later, a dark money group was also created.

Then the dark money group paid her 80K as a cut for helping to fundraise for herself.

Hmm

This owner thinks newspapers are better off diminished than dead β€œIt's just kind of the way it is. Do we have the watchdog role? Can we do that now in all these areas? No. I think that's obvious."

β€œI'm not a hedge fund."

Head of a media company often accused of gutting the newsroom defends himself with logic seldom heard. (Not saying I buy it.)

"Strickbine believes that local newspapers are worth saving, even if they’re no longer able to act as watchdogs." www.niemanlab.org/2025/05/this...

This is a call for boldness, and for dissatisfaction with the status quo of who we’re reaching and how we’re serving them.
