Week in Review: Illinois Commission Releases ‘Midway Blitz’ Report; Government Shutdown Ends

A state commission slams federal immigration agents for “illegal and violent conduct” during “Operation Midway Blitz” — and pushes Cook County State’s Attorney Eileen O’Neill Burke to act.

But O’Neill Burke says she can only act after getting a completed investigation from law enforcement.

Democrats defend the law that ended cash bail in Illinois after a defendant released on electronic monitoring is accused of shooting two police officers, one fatally.

Meanwhile, a federal judge denies former Illinois House Speaker Michael Madigan’s appeal bid.

Mayor Brandon Johnson nominates a new Chicago inspector general as the former watchdog takes over as chief of staff for Illinois’ attorney general.

And after more than two months, Congress votes to end a partial government shutdown.
