This Pulitzer for the @BetterGov & @chicagotribune is wonderful recognition for powerful work. I am also thinking today of Shamaya Coleman, her children and the dozens of others victims in Chicago who died. The city still has not fully addressed the issues raised in our stories.

DOJ Civil Rights chief @HarmeetKDhillon posted several statements and a video announcing fed probe into Portland PD's detention of a pro-Trump-reporter who got into a brawl, per PD report. She has been silent on incidents like this, and I have gotten no response from dept.

These are Border Patrol agents detaining a @WGNNews producer. @CMDROpAtLargeCA, who oversees Border Patrol’s activities in Chicago, should answer for this to real reporters here and stop hiding behind @seanhannity, @bennyjohnson and other propagandists. chicagotribune.com/2025/10/10/wgn…

Angry crowds have been following and chasing ICE through Chicago. It seems like a tactic that’s worked for protesters — I saw about two dozen people get this ICE truck to speed away in Humboldt Park yesterday. It had been parked outside a daycare, then a plant store.

Just saw ICE speed away in Logan square after residents chased them away.



While @bennyjohnson was cosplaying reporter/fed agent yesterday w/ @KristiNoem, he didn’t ask about this federal case alleging ICE violations and detaining American citizens. That includes a case in which Noem video’d and shared on social. Journalism here: chicagotribune.com/2025/10/04/acl…

Not my normal spot for an interview: the bike lane. I talked with Mayor Brandon Johnson about cycling in Chicago. Here's how he sees bike infrastructure fitting into the city, told by him from atop a Divvy bike to @chicagotribune:


More than 37k residential properties on South and West sides -- in neighborhoods that can least afford it -- are set to see their property tax bills skyrocket due to increased assessments. @ad_quig and @AlexNitkin with Tribune and @IllinoisAnswers: chicagotribune.com/2025/09/21/tax…

This is the story about the FBI recording @RealTomHoman, now the White House border czar, accepting $50,000 in cash after indicating he could help the agents — who were posing as business executives — win government contracts in a Trump administration: msnbc.com/msnbc/news/tom…


Still no answer from @CMDROpAtLargeCA about this. But lots of social media videos.

Among those handcuffed in this video promoted by @Sec_Noem is Joe Botello, an AMERICAN citizen. @chicagotribune's photog @WescottImages was there and we spoke to him. He was later released and “blessed that I’m still alive." cc: @CMDROpAtLargeCA. Story: chicagotribune.com/2025/09/16/elg…

On their youngest son’s 10th birthday, ICE agents detained a couple who immigrated from Mexico and have lived in suburban Cicero 18 years. Their kids watched helplessly as the parents were taken away after a traffic stop. Neither has a criminal history. chicagotribune.com/2025/09/16/hea…

This week, a brave @ICEgov officer was dragged many yards by a car after a criminal illegal alien resisted arrest. His life was put at risk and he sustained serious injuries. President Trump has been clear: if politicians will not put the safety of their citizens first, this…

I spoke to the family of the flower vendor arrested in Archer Heights last Sunday. He has become the face of Trump’s immigration crackdown in Chicago. The father was deported to Mexico within 72 hours. No criminal history. chicagotribune.com/2025/09/12/flo…
