Description

A federal appeals court in Chicago is refusing to undo a lower court's order blocking President Trump's deployment of National Guard troops within Illinois. Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson’s newly unveiled budget relies on reinstating the city corporate head tax, a new social media tax, and a record, $1 billion dollar TIF surplus to close a massive budget gap. Loyola University and the Sisters of the Blessed Virgin Mary honored the life of Jean Dolores Schmidt today.

Plus, the one-time street gang the Young Lords has inspired a new exhibit at the DePaul Art Museum. The show traces the group’s transformation into an influential civil rights group and it comes at a moment when museums are under the microscope. WBEZ’s Courtney Kueppers explains.
