About this episode
The episode discusses the impact of the Trump administration's deportation campaign on Chicago immigrants, a labor strike at Brookfield Zoo, the HBCU Baseball Classic at Wrigley Field, and a hazardous weather outlook for the region.
A new report says the Trump administration’s deportation campaign has left Chicago immigrants vulnerable to evictions. More than 100 Brookfield Zoo workers walked out on strike after failing to reach a union contract agreement on Friday. Two historically Black colleges — Prairie View A&M and Alabama A&M — played at Wrigley Field this weekend for the first-ever HBCU Baseball Classic. The National Weather Service has issued a Hazardous Weather Outlook for today, and the alert says portions of central and northeast Illinois and northwest Indiana are at an elevated risk for blowing dust.
