Week in Review: Federal Agents Patrol Downtown; Chicago Bears Seek Public Funding
(Produced by Blair Paddock)
In the latest in a series of provocations, President Donald Trump suggests Chicago could be used as a training ground for the military.
Gov. JB Pritzker warns the Trump administration is planning to send 100 troops to Chicago to protect immigration agents and facilities.
Advocates work to track ICE arrests — amid a chaotic week of agents marching downtown and a military-style raid on a residential building.
Trump tries to use the government shutdown to retaliate against his political enemies.
The Trump administration wants to freeze $2.1 billion in funding for Chicago infrastructure projects, including the long-awaited Red Line Extension.
And the Bears are out with flashy renderings of a new Arlington Heights stadium — that comes with an ask for more than $800 million in publicly funded infrastructure work.
