NEW: @propublica.org investigated the Chicago apartment raid where kids were zip-tied and citizens detained for hours. They find:
- NONE of the arrested were criminally charged
- NO evidence the building was "filled with TdA terrorists."

Everyone we’ve met in Nova Scotia has been extremely kind and sincere in their love for Boston. A fun and busy work trip. Now I want to come back in the summer. Flying soon, look forward to being home.
