ICE Tear Gasses Neighborhoods, CTA Fare Hike, and Goodbye The Promontory
Another week, another violent encounter with ICE in a Chicago neighborhood, as federal agents targeted residents on the city’s Southeast Side earlier this week and unleashed more tear gas on protesters. We are breaking down what we know so far with Block Club Chicago’s Francia Garcia Hernandez and TV host Brandon Pope. Plus, CTA fares are expected to jump next year, Chicago is expanding free composting, and we’ve got our favorite picks at the Chicago International Film Festival.
Nominate City Cast Chicago as best podcast and Hey Chicago as best email newsletter in the Reader’s Best of 2025.
