>> GOOD EVENING AND WELCOME TO CHICAGO TONIGHT.

LET YOU KNOW SAYS I'M JOINED THAT MAN.

THIS ON THE SHOW TONIGHT.

CHICAGO PUBLIC HEALTH OFFICIAL ON WHAT'S BEING DONE TO CURB THE RISE IN MEASLES CASES.

CHICAGO POLICE ARE PULLING OVER BLACK AND LATINO DRIVERS IN TRAFFIC STOPS AT HIGHER RATES.

ACCORDING TO A NEW REPORT.

THE SOLAR ECLIPSE IS JUST A FEW DAYS AWAY WHETHER TRAVELING OR STAYING LOCAL, WE SHARE WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW.

>> WHEN JASON STARTED, YOU KNOW, >> PAINTING THE SOUNDS LIKE THESE THESE ACTUALLY COME TO LIFE NOW.

>> AND THE VENEZUELAN ARTIST CAPTURES HIS JOURNEY TO AMERICA.

AND NOW TO SOME OF TODAY'S TOP STORIES WITH THE DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CONVENTION JUST 4 MONTHS AWAY, THE CITY IS WRAPPING UP SECURITY TRAINING CITY OFFICIALS AND MEMBERS OF THE SECRET SERVICE GATHERED AT SOLDIER FIELD TODAY TO CONDUCT A SERIES OF SECURITY TRAINING SESSIONS AHEAD OF THE CONVENTION.

THE DNC IS SET TO TAKE PLACE AT THE UNITED CENTER AND MCCORMICK PLACE FROM AUGUST.

19TH THROUGH THE 22ND.

TODAY'S TRAINING WAS HELD BY THE FEDERAL EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AGENCY.

>> WE LOOK TO PLAN FOR ALL THE VARIOUS SCENARIOS THAT COULD COME UP DURING THIS CONVENTION.

TRAINING SUCH AS TODAY'S WILL HELP US PREPARE FOR VIRUS, HYPOTHETICAL SITUATIONS THAT COULD OCCUR DURING THE DNC.

>> MEANWHILE, THE REPUBLICAN NATIONAL CONVENTION WILL TAKE PLACE IN MILWAUKEE THIS JULY.

MAYOR BRANDON JOHNSON IS URGING THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION TO GRANT WORK PERMITS TO NOT ONLY ARRIVALS, BUT ALSO TO THE THOUSANDS OF UNDOCUMENTED RESIDENTS IN ILLINOIS.

THE MAYOR HELD A ROUNDTABLE DISCUSSION EARLIER TODAY AT THE CHICAGO URBAN LEAGUE.

STATE MIGRATION IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO GROW ECONOMICALLY.

HE SAYS EXPANDING WORK PERMITS WILL ADDRESS LABOR SHORTAGES AND IMPROVED WORKING CONDITIONS FOR UNDOCUMENTED WORKERS.

>> WE KNOW THAT IMMIGRANT COMMUNITIES MAKE CHICAGO VIBRANT, DYNAMIC AND A STRONG CITY.

I'M PROUD.

TO SUPPORT TO HERE, TO WORK AND PAY CONGRESS.

REALLY IS REQUIRED LEAD IN THIS MOMENT.

AND WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO URGE PRESIDENT BIDEN TO TO USE EVERY TOOL THAT IS THAT IS DOES THAT IS AT HIS DISPOSAL JUST SUPPORT A NEWLY ARRIVALS AND UNDOCUMENTED RESIDENTS.

>> A NEW STUDY SHOWS PROMONTORY POINTS, HISTORIC LIMESTONE ROCKS ARE SUCCESSFULLY PROTECTING THE SHORELINE FROM EROSION.

THEY JUST NEED TO BE REPAIRED.

THE GROUP PROMONTORY PARK CONSERVANCY TOLD TODAY RELEASED THE RESULTS IN AN INDEPENDENT STUDY.

IT COMMISSIONED THE STUDY SAYS MOST OF LIMESTONE BLOCKS ARE GENERALLY IN GOOD CONDITION AND LESS THAN 25% WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED.

IT GOES ON TO SAY SHIFTING OF THE BLOC SAYS DUE TO THE LOSS OF UNDERLINING THE MATERIAL, WHICH CAN BE REPLACED.

THE FINDINGS ARE IN CONTRADICTION WITH THE U.S. ARMY CORPS OF ENGINEERS, WHICH CLAIMS THE EXISTING STRUCTURES NO LONGER PROTECT AGAINST FLOODING AND EROSION.

NEED TO BE REPLACED ENTIRELY.

THERE'S MORE ON THIS ON OUR WEBSITE.

UP NEXT, WHAT THE CITY IS DOING TO COMBAT A SPIKE IN MEASLES CASES.

THAT'S RIGHT AFTER THIS.

>> CHICAGO TONIGHT, LATINO VOICE HE'S MADE POSSIBLE IN BY THE SUPPORT OF THESE DONORS.

>> CHICAGO HAS RECORDED 56 MUSIAL CASES THIS YEAR, ACCOUNTING FOR OVER HALF OF THE CASES ACROSS THE COUNTRY.

THAT'S ACCORDING TO THE CENTERS FOR DISEASE CONTROL AND PREVENTION.

THAT ALSO REPORTED MORE THAN HALF OF CASES ARE IN CHILDREN UNDER THE AGE OF 5.

THE CHICAGO DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC HEALTH SAYS THEY ARE FIGHTING THE SPREAD THROUGH TESTING AND VACCINATIONS, PARTICULARLY IN THE MIGRANT SHELTER WITH THE MAJORITY OF CASES ARE EMERGING.

JOINING US NOW WITH MORE IS DOCTOR BRIAN BORA, THE MEDICAL DIRECTOR FOR VACCINE.

PREVENTABLE DISEASES.

THAT'S A COT AT THE CHICAGO DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC HEALTH.

THANK YOU FOR JOINING US.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR HAVING COURSE.

NOW, FIRST QUESTION, WHAT IS DEPARTMENT'S CURRENT ACTION PLAN WITH THE RISE IN THE END, THESE HEALTH CONCERNS?

>> WE HAVE A MULTI PRONGED ACTION PLAN RIGHT NOW.

I THINK THE MOST VISIBLE PART OF OUR ACTION PLAN HE'S VACCINATED.

WE TODAY JUST CROSS SPECIAL EFFECTS 6,000 PEOPLE IN THE SHELTER SYSTEM RIGHT NOW.

WE HAVE TEAMS OUT THERE EVERY DAY WE'VE HAD OVER 75 VACCINE EVENTS MARCH 8TH.

WHEN THIS CAMPAIGN STARTED, THERE'S A LOT GOING ON BEHIND THE SCENES AS WELL.

LIKE YOU MENTIONED, WE'RE TESTING FOLKS.

WE'RE SCREENING FOLKS.

WE ARE MAKING PHONE CALLS TO EXPOSE PEOPLE AND DOING A LOT OF EPIDEMIOLOGIC WORK BEHIND THE SCENES.

CAN YOU BRIEFLY EXPLAIN WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE FOR SOMEONE WHO HAS THE MEASLES AND HOW IT SPREADS?

>> SURE.

SO MEASLES IS ACTUALLY ONE OF THE MOST CONTAGIOUS DISEASES THAT WE KNOW ABOUT SOMEONE WHO HAS MEASLES.

THEY USUALLY START WITH, YOU KNOW, SOME SOME GENERAL, A VIRAL SYMPTOMS LIKE COUGH COLD, COSTS LIKE RUNNY NOSE, RED EYES, THEY CAN DEVELOP A FEVER.

THEY CAN GET PRETTY HIGH.

THEN AFTER A COUPLE DAYS, THEY DEVELOP A RASH WHICH USUALLY STARTS IN THE HEAD AND MOVE DOWN TO THE REST OF THE BODY.

I WANT TAKE A LOOK AT SOME CDPH HAS REPORTED 56 CASES THIS YEAR THAT'S CONTRIBUTED TO THE 97 CASES WE'VE SEEN IN THE U.S. ALSO CHILDREN UNDER 5 UNDER 5 MAKE UP OVER HALF OF THE CASES.

FIRST WYATT, CHICAGO SEEN SO MANY MORE CASES IN THE REST OF THE COUNTRY.

>> YOU KNOW, IT'S SOMETHING WE'RE TRYING TO UNDERSTAND OURSELVES.

I THINK WE HAD A UNIQUE SITUATION WITH A LOT OF PEOPLE IN VERY CLOSE QUARTERS.

ANYTIME YOU HAVE A CONGRESS, A TEAM LIKE THAT, YOU HAVE A RISK FOR FOR A SPREAD OF ANY DISEASE.

AND SO, YOU KNOW, THERE ARE SOME BAD LUCK.

MEASLES SOMEHOW IS INTRODUCED THIS SETTING AND WE HAVE AN OUTBREAK.

NOW.

WHAT MAKES CHILDREN SO VULNERABLE?

>> YOU KNOW, ANYBODY IS REALLY, REALLY VULNERABLE TO THIS DISEASE.

CHILDREN ARE PARTICULARLY VULNERABLE TO GETTING A SEVERE DISEASE.

SO WE SAY, YOU KNOW, CHILDREN UNDER 5 >> ARE ESPECIALLY HIGH RISK.

AND EVEN THOSE YOUNGER CHILDREN OR EVEN AT HIGHER RISK OF GETTING REALLY AND WHAT CAN PARENTS DO?

OBVIOUSLY, THERE'S BEEN CONCERN AT CPS SCHOOLS BECAUSE OF THE WAY OF HOW CONTAGIOUS IT IS.

YOU KNOW, WHAT CAN PARENTS DO?

THINK THE NUMBER ONE THING PARENTS AND EVERYBODY ELSE CAN DO RIGHT NOW IS GET VACCINATED.

CHECK YOUR VACCINE RECORDS.

YOU KNOW, IF YOU DON'T HAVE RECORDS, ASK YOUR PRIMARY CARE.

DOCTOR IF YOU STILL CAN'T FIND RECORDS, YOU CAN GET SOMETHING THAT'S CALLED TIGERS.

YOU CAN CHECK TO SEE IF YOU HAVE IMMUNITY IN YOUR BLOOD.

AND IF IT COMES BACK NEGATIVE, IT'S ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY ALSO BLOOD TEST.

IT IS A BLOOD TEST.

YES.

SO IF AN ADULT LIKE MYSELF WANTS TO MAKE SURE I COULD GO AHEAD AND DO THAT, YOU CAN GET THERE IF THEY DON'T HAVE RECORD, CORRECT?

THAT'S ABSOLUTE, RIGHT?

YEAH.

>> NOW THE CDPH HAS SET.

THE OUTBREAK IS NOT LINKED TO THE MIGRANT SHELTER DESPITE THE MAJORITY COMING FROM THERE.

CAN YOU EXPLAIN WHY?

>> I THINK THAT IS TRYING TO EXPLAIN IS THAT DON'T WE DON'T EXACTLY KNOW HOW WAS INTRODUCED INTO THE CITY.

AND, YOU KNOW, CLEARLY WE'VE HAD A LOT OF CASES COME OUT OF THAT SETTING.

BUT I THINK IT'S AN OPEN QUESTION ABOUT HOW MEASLES CAME TO BE IN THAT SETTING.

WE DO HAVE A HIGH LEVEL OF CONFIDENCE THAT, YOU KNOW, WELL, WE WE CERTAINLY THE WAS IN CHICAGO BEFORE THIS OUTBREAK STARTED, OK, WE HAD A CASE CHICAGO IN THE COMMUNITY BEFOREHAND.

WE KNEW ABOUT A CASE IN INDIANA JUST OVER THE BORDER THAT HAS SOME EXPOSURES IN THE CITY TOO.

WE THINK THAT THEY'RE SOMEHOW LINKED TO 2, ONE OF THOSE 2 CASES OR ANOTHER, YOU KNOW, CASE THAT WE'RE NOT SURE ABOUT.

WE'RE STILL INVESTIGATING THOSE DETAILS BECAUSE YOU SAID IT IS CONTAGIOUS.

I MEAN, THIS IS A PULSE IN SHELTERS.

I MEAN, EVERYONE IS IN ONE SPACE.

EXACTLY.

SO A LOT OF EXPOSED PEOPLE IN THAT SHELTER IN AND YOU KNOW, EVEN ONE CASE OF MEASLES >> WE RESPOND TO VERY QUICKLY AND WITH A LOT OF RESOURCES.

YOU KNOW, YOU CAN IMAGINE WHAT'S GOING ON BEHIND THE SCENES WITH SO MANY CASES.

OF COURSE, NEWS AT 6,000 OF MIGRANTS HAVE BEEN VACCINATED.

>> HAS THAT ALL BEEN AT THE POTION?

SHELTERED SPREAD OUT A DIFFERENT SHELTER ALL THROUGH THE SHELTER SYSTEM.

>> OKAY.

AND WHAT DOES THAT SIGNAL TO ABOUT THE CASES OUTSIDE OF THE SHELTERS SPECIFICALLY TALKING ABOUT THE PILL, SOME SHELTER?

>> WELL, WE FOCUS FIRST ON THE SHELTER WHERE WE KNEW THAT THERE ARE CASES AND WE KNEW THAT THEIR TRANSMISSION WE WERE ABLE TO VACCINATE, YOU KNOW, AS MANY PEOPLE AS POSSIBLE, EVEN JUST IN 3 DAYS.

SO THE SECOND STEP OF OUR CAMPAIGN WAS TO GO INTO THE SHELTERS WHERE WE THOUGHT THERE MIGHT BE A RISK OF SPREAD.

AND SO I THINK WE'RE ABLE TO GET AHEAD OF THE VIRUS IN THAT WAY.

AND WE REALLY HAVE TARGETED, YOU KNOW, MOST OF THE SHELTERS, HOUSING THESE NEW ARRIVALS IN CHICAGO.

AND WE THINK IT PUT A GOOD DENT IN INTO THIS OUTBREAK.

AND THE VACCINE HAS JUST BEEN CHILDREN.

ASYLUM SEEKERS BEING VACCINATED AS WELL.

ANYBODY ANYBODY IN THE SHELTER WHO DIDN'T HAVE A EVIDENCE OF IMMUNITY, WE OFFER THE VACCINE TO.

AND WHAT IS YOUR OPINION DO THINK THERE SHOULD BE A REQUIREMENT FOR ASYLUM SEEKERS TO RECEIVE IMMUNIZATIONS?

>> I THINK, YOU KNOW, GENERALLY SPEAKING ANYBODY IN THE YOU KNOW, TO PARTICIPATE IN SOCIETY.

I THINK IT'S ALWAYS A GOOD IDEA TO BE VACCINATED.

>> IT'S NOT ONLY PROTECTION FOR SOUTH, IT'S PROTECTION FOR YOUR LOVED ONES.

YOUR NEIGHBORS AND FOR THE GENERAL CHICAGO COMMUNITY.

>> AND NOW I WANT SWITCH THE SUBJECT TO TALK ABOUT TO RICK LOWE SAYS THERE'S CONFIRMED CASES AT ALSO SOME OF THE SHELTERS.

WHAT CAN YOU TELL US ABOUT THIS?

YOU KNOW, THAT'S NOT PART OF DAY-TO-DAY CDPH BY WILL SAY UNLIKE MEASLES WERE WE GO YEARS AND YEARS WITHOUT SEEING A SINGLE CASE OF MEASLES?

>> TUBERCULOSIS.

WE ON AVERAGE SEE SOMEWHERE BETWEEN 100 150 CASES IN CHICAGO YEAR.

DON'T BELIEVE THERE'S BEEN ANY DOCUMENTED TRANSMISSION WITHIN THE SHELTER OF TUBERCULOSIS.

RIGHT NOW WE HAVE A TEAM WORKING ON AND I'D BE HAPPY TO PUT IN TOUCH WITH THANK YOU.

DO THINK THAT PEOPLE SHOULD BE EXTREMELY CONCERNED IN CHICAGO RIGHT NOW.

>> ABOUT MEASLES?

YES, ABOUT MEASLES.

I THINK EVERYONE CAN BE CONFIDENT THAT THIS, YOU KNOW, WE KNOW THAT CASES ARE GOING DOWN RIGHT NOW.

>> TESTING IS GOING DOWN RIGHT NOW.

SO WE THINK WE'VE DONE, YOU OUR JOB TO TO AT LEAST PAUSE OR SLOW DOWN OUTBREAK.

WE KNOW THAT IS SOMEWHAT CONTAINED WITHIN.

YOU KNOW, THERE HASN'T BEEN A MUCH DOCUMENTED SPREAD WITHIN THE WIDER COMMUNITY RIGHT NOW IN CHICAGO.

THAT SAID, LIKE I MENTIONED BEFORE, I THINK THIS IS THE PERFECT OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU'RE VACCINATED.

YOU KNOW, MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THOSE RECORDS IF YOU'RE NOT SURE.

TALK TO A DOCTOR.

THANK YOU FOR ALL THAT INFORMATION.

THANK YOU.

JOIN A >> UP NEXT, A NEW REPORT FINDS CHICAGO POLICE ARE PULLING OVER DRIVERS OF COLOR AT HIGHER RATES.

HEATHER SHARON HAS A STORY RIGHT AFTER THIS.

BLACK AND LATINO DRIVERS ARE BEING PULLED OVER AT HIGHER RATES BY CHICAGO POLICE.

THAT'S ACCORDING TO A NEW REPORT RELEASED TODAY BY THE NONPROFIT ADVOCACY AND RESEARCH ORGANIZATION IMPACT FOR EQUITY THAT HAS HELPED LEAD LEAD THE PUSH TO REFORM CHICAGO POLICE DEPARTMENT.

REPORTER HEATHER JOINS US NOW WITH THE LATEST.

HEATHER, LET'S GET RIGHT TO IT.

TELL US HOW MANY TRAFFIC STOPS TO CALL POLICE OFFICERS MADE IN 2023.

AND WHY SO IN CHICAGO POLICE MADE MORE THAN 530,000 TRAFFIC STOPS.

AND THEN THAT'S 5% MORE IN 2022.

>> AND 40% MORE THAN IN 2021, THE VAST MAJORITY OF THOSE STOPS, NEARLY 80% WERE CAUSED BY NOT MOVING VIOLATIONS.

SO SOMEBODY HAD A BROKEN TAIL LIGHT OR AN EXPIRED LICENSE PLATE REGISTRATION IN ONLY 2.2% OF THOSE STOPS.

DID POLICE MAKE AN ARREST?

AND IN LESS THAN ONE-HALF OF ONE PERCENT OF THOSE STOPS, DID THEY RECOVER A GUN LEADING TO THIS REPORT'S CONCLUSION THAT THE STOPS ARE MAKING CHICAGOANS ANY SAFETY IN THIS REPORT?

SURE, THAT SHOWED THAT MORE THAN 80% OF DRIVERS STOPPED BY CHICAGO POLICE IN 2023 WERE BLACK OR LATINO.

IS THAT EVIDENCE THAT OFFICERS ARE STOPPING CHICAGOANS BECAUSE OF THE RACE?

SO IMPACT FOR EQUITY SAYS THEY ARE CONVINCED THAT THERE'S NO OTHER POSSIBLE EXPLANATION OTHER THAN RACIAL DISCRIMINATION FOR THIS TO BE SO OUT OF WHACK WITH CHICAGO'S POPULATION, WHICH IS, YOU KNOW, ONE 3RD BLACK, ONE, 3RD, LATINO AND ONE-THIRD WHITE JUST LESS THAN 14% OF ALL TRAFFIC STOPS IN CHICAGO.

PULL OVER WHITE DRIVERS.

AND THIS GROUP SAYS THE CHICAGO POLICE NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS DISPARITY IMMEDIATELY.

AND THE LEADERS OF THE GROUP BEHIND THIS REPORT.

WE'RE HOPEFUL SUPERINTENDENT LARRY SNELLING WOULD CHANGE THE WAY CP D USES TRAFFIC STOPS, HAS HE?

SO THERE'S NO EVIDENCE THAT IS CHANGED SIGNIFICANTLY IN THE LAST 3 MONTHS OF 2023, WHICH WAS UNDER LARRY SNELLING, LEADERSHIP.

CHICAGO POLICE MADE MORE THAN 119,000 TRAFFIC STOPS IN ABOUT THE SAME PERCENTAGE OF BLACK AND LATINO DRIVERS BEING PULLED OVER.

NOW, I REACHED OUT TO THE CHICAGO POLICE DEPARTMENT TO ASK THE SUPERINTENDENT TO RESPOND TO THESE FIGURES.

I DIDN'T HEAR BACK AND THIS IS THE LATEST IN A SERIES OF REPORTS LOOKING AT THE WAY CHICAGO POLICE OFFICERS STOP CHICAGOANS WHILE DRIVING AND ON FOOT.

WHAT'S NEXT AND WHAT STOOD OUT TO THE MOST?

WELL, IMPACT FOR EQUITY IS NOW ASKING THE CITY'S NEW POLICE OVERSIGHT PORT, THE COMMUNITY COMMISSION FOR PUBLIC SAFETY AND ACCOUNTABILITY TO ESSENTIALLY CHANGE THE POLICY THAT GOVERNS WHEN CHICAGO POLICE OFFICERS ARE ALLOWED TO STOP CARS.

THEY WANT A BAN ON STOPS DESIGNED TO DEVELOP EVIDENCE OF OTHER CRIMES.

THEY ALSO WANT OFFICERS TO REQUIRE INDEPENDENT LEGAL STANDARD BEFORE ASKING TO SEARCH SOMEBODY IS CAR AND THEY ALSO WANT A BAN ON STOPS FOR SORT OF THREATENING ISSUES, SORT OF LIKE A LICENSE PLACE REGISTRATION ISSUE OR A BROKEN TAILLIGHT THAT DOESN'T POSE A HAZARD.

THE PRESIDENT OF BOARD ANTHONY DRIVER SAID TODAY HE WAS INTERESTED IN SORT OF DIGGING INTO THIS ISSUE AND GETTING THE POLICY RIGHT.

HE SAID THANK YOU HEADED FOR THE REPORT.

THAT'S PRETTY INTERESTING.

THINGS JOIN AND YOU CAN READ THE FULL REPORT AND HEATHER STORY ON OUR WEBSITE.
