Week in Review: Trump Takes Aim at Cashless Bail; CPS Pushes Pension Payment

Chicago officials say they haven’t received any communication about the possible deployment of National Guard troops and a surge of immigration agents in the city.

Gov. JB Pritzker says troops on the ground isn’t about crime, but an intimidation tactic being deployed close to midterms.

The Trump administration also takes aim at cashless bail policies, threatening to withhold funding to states that have eliminated cash bail.

Meanwhile, a federal judge blocked President Donald Trump from pulling funding from cities with sanctuary policies.

The Chicago Board of Education says no to Mayor Brandon Johnson’s push to borrow.

Johnson’s administration says the city faces a $1.15 billion budget hole next year.

The FDA moves to limit access to COVID-19 vaccines.

And the Chicago Reader staves off a shutdown thanks to a new owner.
