Week in Review: Terror in New Orleans; Wrangling Over Teachers’ Contract Intensifies
Screams in New Orleans after a U.S. Army veteran uses a pickup truck to mow down New Year’s Eve revelers in the French Quarter in an allegedly ISIS-inspired terror attack.
That attack, plus the explosion of a Tesla truck outside the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas, has law enforcement on edge across the country — and prompts additional security measures outside the Trump Tower in Chicago.
Meanwhile, sparring over a new contract for the Chicago Teachers Union moves from private talks at the bargaining table to dueling bids for public support.
If passing a budget for 2025 was a challenge, the budget challenges for 2026 could be even tougher.
And advocates for Chicago’s undocumented migrants are preparing for what President-elect Donald Trump’s administration has in store after a promise of mass deportations.
