Dasha Ramirez, 8, and her little brother were playing with the water at the Crown Fountain in Chicago’s Millennium Park when federal agents approached their parents.

She ran toward her father, Jaime Ramirez, who was suddenly surrounded by a group of heavily armed agents in full camouflage.

Mother, children detained by ICE at Millennium Park Sunday held at O’Hare with other families: ‘We never imagined’

The mother said she felt her family was targeted because of their appearance. “There were a lot more people there, but the agents came directly to us because of how we look,” she said.

If I see the salt truck video one more time I'm going to lose my fucking mind.

They're not being used to block the city off from ICE. They're walling off the Taste of Chicago. The city uses salt trucks as temporary infrastructure.

"Indie Row" around Armitage on Damen continues to be a vibrant business corridor, with locally-owned boutiques, galleries and restaurants. Damen closer to North is full of chains -- and many are closing or moving.

Mayor Johnson determined to push for a Council vote on 'granny flats' measure next week

Senior mayoral advisor Jason Lee said Monday it's time to bring to a head — in a way that maximizes the number of affordable units created — the yearlong debate on whether to legalize accessory dwelling units “by right.”
