So do @chicago.suntimes.com and @illinoisanswers.bsky.social. So we asked CPD for videos.
But the cops said no — because a chief is accused of waving off the police response and is facing investigation.

Easily several hundred people have packed into this plaza in Chicago's North Center tonight in response to ICE abducting a daycare worker early this morning.
This is a neighborhood that has largely been spared until now from the "Midway Blitz" terror campaign. But everyone knows someone affected.
