First, ICE raided their Chicago apartment building. Now, they’re being forced to vacate it.
The Circuit Court of Cook County granted an order on Nov. 24 from Wells Fargo Bank to have residents at 7500 S. Shore Drive to vacate by Dec. 12.

Ten years ago this month, dashcam footage was released showing Laquan McDonald being shot to death by a police officer. A decade after their historic victory, the key players recount how they helped bring the transformative video to light.

NEW: The F.D.A. announced in an internal memo that 10 children died "because of" the Covid shot. Other experts want to see proof.
“This is a profound revelation,” Dr. Prasad's memo said. “For the first time, the U.S. F.D.A. will acknowledge that Covid-19 vaccines have killed American children.”

That's something the city council should probably keep in mind at today's CPD budget hearing.
In a year where the majority of departments took haircuts, CPD's budget is up again. (It's also the only department to have gone over budget in every one of the past full budget years, 2022-2024.)

On this note, I don’t believe the Illinois AG’s listed media contacts are real people and are just mailboxes and phone numbers setup so reporters can say they tried.
Yes, and I’ll add: I think non-journalists would be shocked by how hard it can be to contact government media folks. The people who are paid by tax $ to provide info to the public often make themselves almost invisible. (To say nothing of the stonewall you may run into when you *do* reach them.)
One of the things that has made journalism much harder in the past decade is that more and more organisations list absolutely no contact details for anyone on their websites. I assume this is to block spam, but like, how are we meant to reach people? Bring back paper phonebacks?

Possibly the State's Attorney was, but I don't think that's actually true, either.

Every single excuse I have heard for this boils down to the idea that prosecutors, especially now, are just rubber-stamping gun arrests anyway - filing felony charges against people without any real inquiry into whether a stop or search was lawful

Missed this at first but worth noting this stay cites Noem v. Vasquez Perdomo and Trump v. CASA, Inc., two cases that went before SCOTUS earlier this year.
The former deals with immigration enforcement in the LA area, the latter with citizenship and the power of lower federal courts.
