Former Ald. Ed Burke was convicted of 13 of 14 counts of racketeering, bribery and extortion.
Texas officials chartered a private plane to fly at least 91 migrants to Chicago Tuesday evening.
A 5-year-old migrant boy fell ill and died Sunday at a Pilsen migrant shelter.
And land on the Far South Side set to become a “winterized base camp” for migrants may be contaminated with pollutants, according to a study.
