The month of October is flying by! It\u2019ll be time for trick-or-treating, turkey-eating and holiday greetings before you know it. But before we get ahead of ourselves, let\u2019s review what happened in and outside Chicago this week. Shall we?<\/p>\n
Federal immigration agents are continuing to make arrests across the Chicagoland as part of President Donald Trump\u2019s so-called \u201cOperation Midway Blitz.\u201d A 60-year-old man in the United States legally was ticketed by immigration officers<\/a>\u00a0in Rogers Park for not having his papers on him. Approximately a dozen vendors were detained by masked federal agents who raided the Swap-O-Rama flea market<\/a> Thursday on the Southwest Side. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security arrested a Hanover Park police officer<\/a> for allegedly overstaying a tourist visa. Eighteen people were detained by Border Patrol in a ride-share drivers\u2019 parking lot<\/a> at O\u2019Hare International Airport. And in Broadview on Friday morning, Illinois State Police arrested 11 people<\/a> in a scuffle with protesters outside the west suburban detention center.<\/p>\n Also this week, a federal appeals court in Chicago left intact a district judge\u2019s order<\/a> barring the president from deploying National Guard troops in the city and state. But by Friday, the Trump administration had escalated the issue, asking the U.S. Supreme Court<\/a> to grant an immediate administrative stay to allow the deployment to go forward while pending appeal.<\/p>\n In global news, Hamas recommitted to its ceasefire deal with Israel<\/a>\u00a0on Friday after there were delays in returning the bodies of 28 hostages. Earlier in the week, all 20 living Israeli hostages and 2,000 Palestinian prisoners\u00a0were released.<\/a> With the ceasefire holding, President Donald Trump is now turning his attention to bringing Russia\u2019s war in Ukraine to an end.<\/a><\/p>\n Meanwhile, the federal government shutdown has entered its third week,<\/a> as negotiations between Republicans and Democrats have stalled. Locally, federal courts<\/a> announced that they have begun reducing their operations and stopping salary payments to courthouse employees. O\u2019Hare and Midway airports were also in the news for refusing to play a video<\/a> featuring Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem discussing the impact of the federal shutdown on air travel, claiming the video contained political messaging that violates airport policy.<\/p>\n As has been done annually since his first run for governor, JB Pritzker\u2019s campaign released partial tax returns<\/a> Wednesday for him and his wife, MK. The records show that the Pritzkers took home $10.3 million in taxable income last year \u2014 including more than $1.4 million in gambling winnings.<\/a> In other election and fundraising news, U.S. Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi is far outraising his competition<\/a> in the race for the Democratic U.S. Senate nomination, besting the combined effort of his two top rivals, while some candidates vying for Illinois\u2019 four open congressional seats are funneling cash into their campaigns via sizable personal loans.<\/a><\/p>\n President Jed Hoyer is reflecting<\/a>\u00a0after the Cubs season came to an unfortunate end last Saturday in a 3-1 loss<\/a> to the Milwaukee Brewers in Game 5 of the National League Division Series. While the sting of a playoff run cut short hasn\u2019t quite subsided for many fans, the organization is already looking ahead to next season, hoping to build on their success in 2025.<\/a><\/p>\n But in some good news for the Chicago Bears, the team won their third-straight game<\/a> this week. With Cairo Santos sidelined by a right thigh injury<\/a>, kicker Jake Moody was elevated from the practice squad Monday. That move proved to be consequential, with Moody kicking a 38-yard\u00a0field goal<\/a> as time expired to propel the Bears to a 25-24 win<\/a> over the Washington Commanders at Northwest Stadium. Will the winning streak continue as the Bears take on the Saints<\/a> this Sunday at Solider Field? Here\u2019s what the Tribune\u2019s beat writers think.<\/a><\/p>\n And Loyola University remembered one of its biggest supporters, Sister Jean Dolores Schmidt<\/a>, at a funeral service held on campus Thursday. The educator, college administrator and men\u2019s basketball team chaplain\u00a0passed away last week<\/a>\u00a0at the age of 106.<\/p>\n Those are the headlines.
