>>> GOOD EVENING AND WELCOME TO CHICAGO TONIGHT.

I AM PARIS SCHUTZ .

BRANDIS FRIEDMAN IS ON ASSIGNMENT.

HERE IS WHAT WE ARE LOOKING AT.

A RESOUNDING GUILTY VERDICT IN THE CONED BRIBERY TRIAL AND THE MESSAGE THE SHERIFF HOPES TO SEND TO SPRINGFIELD.

>>> PLUS MIRRORLIKE BRANDON JOHNSON HAS ELECTED A NEW INTERIM POLICE SUPERINTENDENT.

>>> COMPOSTING, WHAT EXACTLY IS THAT, AND COULD SOON BE COMING TO ILLINOIS?

>>> AND CHICAGO'S MEXICO WEEK KICKS OFF AHEAD OF CINCO DE MAYO.

>>> BUT NOW TO OUR TOP STORY TONIGHT.

GUILTY ON ALL COUNTS.

THE ALLEGED MASTERMIND BEHIND THE BRIBERY.

JURORS FOUND THAT CONTRACTORS WERE AWARDED WITH JOBS IN EXCHANGE FOR LEGISLATION PASSED.

JOINING US IS JURY MEMBER AMANDA SCHNIDTKER.

YOU HAD SO MUCH EVIDENCE.

WHAT CONVINCED YOU AND THE OTHER JURORS THAT THIS AMOUNTED TO BRIBERY?

>> IT IS NOT JUST ONE PIECE OF EVIDENCE THAT CONVINCE US ONE WAY OR THE OTHER.

THERE WERE SOME KEY PIECES FOR SURE.

THE INTERACTIONS BETWEEN MICHAEL MADIGAN AND MIKE McLEAN, THOSE WERE PRIME EVIDENCE.

WE WOULD NOTICE THAT AFTER HE TALKED WITH MICHAEL MADIGAN HE WOULD TURN RIGHT AROUND AND TALK ABOUT IT ON THE CALL.

THERE WERE FOUR CALLS, AND McLEAN TURNED AROUND AND TALKED TO SAID THEY'LL.

THEY SAID YES AND THEY TURNED AROUND AND CALLED MADIGAN BACK.

>> SO ALL THOSE RECORDINGS, ALL THE VIDEO, ALL THAT WITNESS TESTIMONY, WHAT WAS THAT 27 HOURS LIKE?

>> IT WAS INTENSE.

IT WAS VERY INTENSE.

WE WORKED VERY HARD.

THE JURORS, WE HAD ALL GOTTEN TO KNOW EACH OTHER VERY WELL AROUND THE TIME OF THE TRIAL, WHICH WAS GOOD CONSIDERING WE HAVE A LOT TO GO OVER.

EVERYONE WAS RESPECTFUL THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE PROCESS.

BUT DISCUSSIONS DID GET A LITTLE HEATED AT SOME POINTS, AS IT SHOULD HAVE.

EVERYTHING WAS VERY CIVIL AND PROFESSIONAL.

>> SO THERE WERE DISAGREEMENTS ON SOME OF THE COUNTS?

>> ABSOLUTELY.

THIS IS WHY IT TOOK US SO LONG.

THOSE OF US WHO WOULD FEEL STRONGLY ONE WAY OR THE OTHER?

EVERY OTHER JURORS STOPPED, GAVE THEM TIME TO SPEAK, THEN WE WOULD DISCUSS THEIR VIEWPOINTS.

THOSE OF US WHO HAD EVIDENCE SAID THEY THOUGHT THEY WERE NOT GUILTY.

WE REALLY RESPECT THAT.

LET ME PULL THIS TRANSCRIPT.

LET ME PULL THIS EMAIL.

LET ME PULL ALL OF THIS EVIDENCE AND TESTIMONY THAT I HAVE WRITTEN IN MY NOTEBOOK AND LET ME READ THAT FOR YOU.

OTHER PEOPLE DON'T GET TO HAVE THAT SAME EVIDENCE.

THAT WOULD REFRESH THE OTHER JUROR'S MEMORY AND THEY WOULD THINK ABOUT IT.

SOMETIMES WE WOULD HAVE TO GO THROUGH AND TAKE A BREAK ON THAT WHILE SOME OF THE JURORS REALLY PONDERED IT OVER A COUPLE OF HOURS, THEN WE WOULD COME BACK TO THAT.

>> THEN EVENTUALLY EVERYBODY DID COME TO CONSENSUS.

WHAT IS THE MESSAGE HERE, THE BROADER MESSAGE SENT TO OFFICEHOLDERS IN SPRINGFIELD GIVEN THIS VERDICT RELATED TO HOW MADIGAN RAN THINGS AND HOW SO MANY PEOPLE IN SPRINGFIELD HAVE RUN THINGS FOR SO MANY YEARS?

>> I THINK THAT IT IS CLEAR.

THIS IS VERY CLEAR.

WE DO NOT WANT TO STAND FOR THIS SORT OF CORRUPTION.

WHETHER THE END RESULT WAS SOMETHING BETTER THAT HAD COME ALONG IN A LEGAL FASHION, JUST BECAUSE THE END RESULT DID NOT JUSTIFY THE MEANS, WE DID NOT WANT TO SEE OUR STATE RUN LIKE THAT.

THE MESSAGE IS CLEAR THAT THINGS NEED TO OCCUR ALONG PROPER CHANNELS.

WE HAVE A GREAT GOVERNMENT.

>> OBVIOUSLY THAT RESONATED WITH PUBLIC OFFICIALS.

AMANDA, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR JOINING US.

>>> NOW TWO MORE OF TODAY'S TOP STORIES.

THE CHICAGO POLICE DEPARTMENT HAS A NEW INTERIM SUPERINTENDENT.

BRANDON JOHNSON WAS SELECTED TO LEAD THE DEPARTMENT UNTIL THE SUPERINTENDENT IS CHOSEN.

SHE SERVED UNTIL 2020 AS ITS THIRD-HIGHEST RANKING OFFICIAL.

JOHNSON SAID THAT WALLER WILL NOT BE A CANDIDATE TO SERVE AS THE PERMANENT SUPERINTENDENT.

>>> CHICAGO POLICE OVERSIGHT HAS RELEASED THIS VIDEO OF AN OFFICER FATALLY SHOOTING A MAN IN A PARK.

HE WAS SHOT AND KILLED BY OFFICERS IN A POLICE CHASE WHILE RUNNING TOWARDS OFFICERS.

WHILE DOING THIS HE APPEARS TO REMOVE A FIREARM FROM HIS WAISTBAND.

STANLEY REPORTEDLY FILED A LAWSUIT SAYING THAT THE SHOOTING WAS, QUOTE, UNPROVOKED.

THE FULL VIDEO IS ON OUR WEBSITE.

>>> MIRRORLIKE BRANDON JOHNSON SAYS THAT HE WILL CONSULT THE SOUTH SHORE COMMUNITY BEFORE MAKING THE FINAL DECISION TO ADDRESS ASYLUM-SEEKERS BEING SENT TO THE CITY FROM TEXAS.

HE HAS CALLED IT A HUMANITARIAN CRISIS, BUT THE CITY SHELTERS ARE OCCUPIED.

HE WILL GO TO THE FORMER HIGH SCHOOL TO TALK ABOUT THE PLAN.

>>> OF NEXT, A DEBATE OVER PRACTICE KNOWN AS COMPOSTING.

WE WILL TELL YOU ABOUT THAT AFTER THE BREAK.

>>> FOLKS ARE EITHER BURIED OR CREMATED WHEN THEY DIE, BUT THERE IS ANOTHER PRACTICE CALLED NATURAL ORGANIC REDUCTION OR DECOMPOSITION COMPOSTING.

IT IS NOW BEFORE THE SENATE.

IF IT IS PASSED, ILLINOIS WILL BECOME THE SEVENTH STATE IN THE NATION FOR THE PRACTICE.

THE CATHOLIC CHURCH, AMONG OTHERS, HAS VOICED OPPOSITION, SAYING THAT HUMAN COMPOSTING DOES NOT AFFORD ENOUGH SYMPATHY FOR THE DEAD.

WE HAVE THE AUTHOR OF STEADFAST IN FAITH, THE CHALLENGES OF CATHOLICISM.

WE DID INVITE THE ARCHDIOCESE OF CHICAGO , BUT THEY DENIED OUR INVITATION.

WE ARE GLAD THAT THE TWO OF YOU ARE HERE.

CASSIDY, I CAN'T DESCRIBE THIS IN THE LEAD, BUT WHAT EXACTLY IS THIS COMPOSTING?

>> THIS COMES OUT OF A DESIRE TO REDUCE THE CARBON FOOTPRINT.

THE CURRENT METHODS THAT ARE AVAILABLE, EACH ONE IS ENVIRONMENTALLY PROBLEMATIC.

THERE ARE TWO METHODS THAT THE CHURCH TELLS YOU ABOUT.

THERE IS A REAL.

YOU ARE SEALED IN CONCRETE BOX UNDERGROUND.

WE ARE RUNNING OUT OF LAND.

THERE ARE THOSE WHO FEEL LIKE IT IS NOT THE BEST USE OF LAND.

I LEARNED IN THIS PROCESS THAT ASHES ARE ACTUALLY VERY HARMFUL TO PLANT LIFE.

SO THIS IS A PROCESS WHEREBY SOMEBODY IS PUT INTO A VESSEL WITH NATURAL MATERIALS, VERY OFTEN FLOWERS, SO YOU CAN HAVE A BEAUTIFUL AND RESPECTFUL CEREMONY.

WITHIN THAT CHAMBER, IT TAKES ABOUT 30 DAYS, AND YOU ARE REDUCED TO VERY, VERY NUTRIENT-RICH COMPOST THAT YOU CAN USE TO PLANT TREES AND CAN BE USED TO RESTORE DAMAGED LAND.

FOR MANY PEOPLE, THAT IS A TRUE EXPRESSION OF THEIR END-OF-LIFE PROCESS.

>> THERE ARE MORE AND MORE FOLKS CHOOSING THIS METHOD.

YOU RECENTLY WROTE A COLUMN CALLING THIS REPULSIVE.

WHAT IS YOUR OBJECTION TO THIS PROCESS?

>> WE ARE GIVEN THE GREAT GIFT OF LIFE AND THAT LIFE IS SUPPOSED TO BE TREATED WITH DIGNITY AND RESPECT ALL THE WAY INTO THE GROUND, BUT ALSO BE ON THE GROUND.

THERE IS A PERSON HERE AND THIS PERSON IS WORTHY OF RESPECT.

COUNTLESS BURIAL PRACTICES FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS HAVE HONORED PEOPLE, BUT ONE CENTRAL WAY IS BY KEEPING THE BODY TOGETHER.

MOTHER NATURE WANTS TO REMIND US THAT OUR BONES WILL REMAIN.

A PHYSICAL REMINDER THROUGHOUT HISTORY THAT REMINDS US THAT THIS WAS A PERSON, A UNIQUE PERSON WITH A STORY WITH MEMORY THAT LIVES ON.

WE DO THAT BY TREATING THEM AS NATURE WOULD TREAT THEM, WHICH IS AS AN INTACT HUMAN.

>> WHAT ABOUT THE CRITICISM THAT THIS DOES NOT AFFORD THE HUMAN BODY DIGNITY AS SOME CATHOLIC REPRESENTATIVES ARE ALLEGING HERE?

>> I WOULD SAY THAT FIRST OF ALL, THIS IS AS CLOSE TO DUST TO DUST AS YOU COULD POSSIBLY HOPE FOR.

ULTIMATELY, THIS IS ABOUT RESPECTING INDIVIDUALS' TRADITIONS AND PRIORITIES.

THE CATHOLIC CHURCH CAN AND HAS SAID WHAT IS AND ISN'T APPROPRIATE FOR DISPOSAL OF HUMAN REMAINS.

I WOULD SAY THAT INFORMATION YOUR BONES DON'T BURN, EITHER.

THAT DOESN'T KEEP THE BONES INTACT, EITHER, YET THE CATHOLIC CHURCH IS FINE WITH THAT SINCE THEY GOT INTO THE BUSINESS OF PROVIDING CREMATION SERVICES.

>> SO HOW DO YOU RESPOND TO THAT?

THE CATHOLIC CHURCH DOES NOT CONDEMN CREMATION.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE HERE BETWEEN CREMATION AND COMPOST?

>> CREMATION IS ALLOWED, NOT PREFERRED IN THE CATHOLIC TRADITION, PRECISELY BECAUSE OF THE VALUE PLACED ON THE BODY.

IT SAYS THAT JESUS CHRIST BECAME GOD AND GIVEN ICED IT.

IN CREMATION WE ALLOW THE CHURCH TO ACQUIRE THE ASHES TOGETHER AND NOT SEPARATED.

ONE OF THE GREAT TRAGIC ELEMENTS OF SEPTEMBER 11th WAS THAT SO MANY OF THOSE BODIES WERE NOT RECOVERED AND THOSE PEOPLE WERE LOST TO OBLIVION JUST LIKE PEOPLE WHO ARE COMPOSTED ARE.

>> I'M SORRY.

YOU ARE COMPARING THIS TO TERRORIST ATTACKS?

PLEASE!

>> IT IS WHAT HAPPENS TO THE BODY!

>> THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH A PERSON MAKING A CONSCIOUS CHOICE TO USE A LOW-IMPACT PROCESS TO DISPOSE OF THEIR REMAINS IN A WAY THAT IS CONSISTENT WITH THEIR BELIEF SYSTEM.

I RESPECT YOUR BELIEF SYSTEM.

I AM NOT ASKING CATHOLICS TO BE COMPOSTED.

I HAVE NO BUSINESS TELLING A CATHOLIC WHAT TO DO WITH THEIR BODY.

JUST AS THE CATHOLIC CHURCH DOESN'T HAVE ANY BUSINESS TELLING AN ENVIRONMENTALLY THAT THEY HAVE TO USE AN ENVIRONMENTALLY DAMAGING PROCESS TO HANDLE THEIR REMAINS.

>> TO ALLOW OUR BODIES JUST TO BE THROWN INTO OBLIVION -- >> THIS IS NOT A CATHOLIC COUNTRY.

>> WHAT ABOUT THE -- THE FACT THAT THIS -- IF AN INDIVIDUAL CHOOSES THIS, WHY NOT ALLOW IT IF THERE ARE INDIVIDUALS WHO MAY OR MAY NOT BE CATHOLIC CHOOSING THIS?

>> THERE ARE LIMITATIONS ON WHAT PEOPLE CAN DO.

JUST BECAUSE THEY WANT SOMETHING DOESN'T MEAN IT IS GOOD FOR THEM.

TO CONSENT TO LEGAL COMPOSTING IS TO CONSENT WITH DOING AWAY WITH DIGNITY.

>> WHAT IS DIGNIFIED ABOUT A CATHOLIC CEMETERY?

WHEN THE CATHOLICS CAME OUT AGAINST THIS BILL, I HEARD FROM NUMEROUS FAMILIES THAT A CATHOLIC CEMETERY HERE, WHERE THERE ARE OPEN HOLES WHERE THERE ARE GRAVES, THERE ARE GRAVESTONES THAT HAVE BEEN CRUMBLED AND PILES OF DEBRIS ALL OVER THE CEMETERY.

WHEN DOES IT STOP?

>> OBVIOUSLY THIS IS A PASSIONATE DEBATE, BUT WE ARE OUT OF TIME, SO WE HAVE TO LEAVE IT THERE.

THANK YOU, WE APPRECIATE YOUR VIEWS.

>>> UP NEXT, OUR SPOTLIGHT POLITICS TEAM ON THE BOMBSHELL VERDICT OF THE CONED BRIBERY TRIAL.

PLEASE STAY WITH US.

THE GUILTY VERDICTS IN THE CONED BRIBERY TRIAL WERE A BOMBSHELL, AS WE JUST SAID.

WE TAKE A LOOK AT THAT AND MORE IN TONIGHT'S ADDITION OF SPOTLIGHT ON POLITICS.

JOINING US ARE OUR GOOD FRIENDS.

HEATHER SHARON, WHAT ARE THE ODDS THAT THEY ARE HAVING A DISCUSSION ABOUT A PLEA DEAL?

>> I BELIEVE THEY ARE OBLIGATED TO GO TO THE FORMER SPEAKER AND SAY, LOOK.

THEY CONVINCED A JURY OF 12 MEN AND WOMEN THAT YOU ARE BEHIND A BRIBERY SCHEME THAT AFFECTED THE OUTCOME OF THE STATE'S LARGEST PUBLIC UTILITY.

PLEASE THINK CAREFULLY.

I DON'T THINK MANY OF US EXPECT MUCH FROM THIS DEAL, BUT IT IS A SIGN THAT WHEN THE OFFICE BRINGS CHARGES AGAINST YOU, THEY DO NOT GO IN HALF COCKED OR WITHOUT HAVING THEIR DUCKS IN A ROW.

>> YOU HEARD WITH THE JUROR JUST SAID.

THEY ALL WANT TO SEND A MESSAGE.

WE DON'T ACCEPT THIS.

WE DON'T LIKE THIS.

LET'S HEAR FROM PATRICK COLLINS, WHO PROSECUTED GEORGE RYAN AND IS NOW A DEFENSE ATTORNEY.

>> WE CAN'T THINK, OH GREAT, WE HAVE TRIAL TOMORROW, BECAUSE WHAT IT WAS WAS A PRETEXT FOR LEGAL LOBBYING.

THE GOOD NEWS IS YOU SAW HOW THIS HAS PLAYED OUT.

>> SO THESE FOUR DEFENDANTS NOW FACE JAIL TIME.

WHAT ARE THE ODDS THAT ALL OF THEM FLIP TO AVOID A LONG JAIL SENTENCE?

>> SO COUPLE OF THINGS THERE, PARIS.

DURING THIS CASE, YOU DIDN'T REALLY SEE IT, AND THIS IS SOMETHING THAT THE DEFENSE BROUGHT UP, HE SAID THAT ESSENTIALLY IT WAS PAY OR NO PLAY.

THAT IS SOMETHING THAT MAY HELP MATT AGAIN WHEN IT IS TIME FOR HIM TO GO TO TRIAL.

OF COURSE THAT COULD HURT HIM, BUT I ASKED THAT VERY QUESTION, AND HE SAID THEY HAVE BEEN PRETTY DARN WELL.

HE HAD NOT ONE BUT TWO CASES BROUGHT AGAINST HIM BY THE FEDS.

>> HE SAID HE WAS A CLOSE FRIEND.

>> SHE TESTIFIED, BUT COLLIN SAID THAT THAT TAKES A LITTLE BIT OF THE ABILITY FOR HER TO THEM FLIP AWAY.

IF THEY ARE NOT THAT CLOSE, WHAT ALL DOES SHE KNOW?

>> SO HEATHER, IS THERE A VERY CLEARLY DEFINED LINE AS A RESULT OF THIS BETWEEN LOBBYING, LEGAL LOBBYING AND BRIBERY?

>> I THINK THAT IS WHAT MAKES THIS VERDICT SO STRONG.

THE JURY CLEARLY SAID OKAY, LOOK.

THIS IS NOT OKAY.

THIS IS NOT POLITICS AS USUAL.

IT IS NOT ONLY MICHAEL MADIGAN WHO IS HAVING HARD CONVERSATIONS TODAY.

I WOULD EXPECT ALDERMAN ED BURKE TO BE GETTING A SIMILAR MESSAGE FROM HIS ATTORNEY.

HE WOULD SAY OH, THIS IS POLITICS, AND THE JURY SAYS NOT ANYMORE, AND NOT IN ILLINOIS >> WHO ARE YOU GOING TO DECIDE TO HIRE IS A CONTRACT LOBBYIST?

>> WHAT ARE THEY SAYING RIGHT NOW?

>> I THINK IT IS JUST THAT.

IT IS, IN SOME WAYS, THE JURY SPEAKING WITH ONE VOICE.

BUT THERE IS MURKY GROUND THERE.

WHY WOULD YOU HIRE SOMEBODY?

YOU HAVE A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT ARE STILL DOING PRETTY DARN GREAT!

SOME OF THEM, PEOPLE WOULD SAY, YEAH.

THEY ARE HARD-WORKING.

THEY DESERVE TO BE HIRED.

BUT THEY WERE RECOMMENDED BY SOMEBODY.

>> I THINK CLEARLY PROVIDING -- >> THEY SAY IF YOU HAVE A QUESTION, SEEK OUT LEGAL ADVICE.

>> GIVING JOBS FOR CONTRACT FOR NO WORK, CLEARLY THAT IS CROSSING A LINE!

LET'S SHIFT GEARS TO ANOTHER BIG STORY TODAY.

WALLER IS GOING TO TAKE OVER ON AN INTERIM BASIS.

DOES THIS SURPRISE YOU?

>> WELL, WALLER WAS ONE OF A NUMBER OF HIGH PROFILE CHICAGO POLICE LEADERS UNDER FORMER SUPERINTENDENT DAVID BROWN .

HE CAME BACK TO THE POLICE DEPARTMENT A VERY DIFFICULT MOMENT.

BRENDA JOHNSON SAID THAT HE IS THE RIGHT GUY TO THROW HIS HAT INTO THE RING AND LEAD THE DEPARTMENT, BUT ANYBODY WHO WORKS FOR THE CHICAGO POLICE DEPARTMENT FOR 34 YEARS, THEY HAVE HAD A BRUSH WITH CONTROVERSY.

FRED WALLER WAS VERY CLOSE TO SERGEANT RONALD WATTS, CLOSE TO A MASSIVE POLICE SCANDAL.

TODAY I ASKED FRED WALLER.

HE SAID THAT HE APOLOGIZED FOR THAT, BUT THAT IT WAS TAKEN OUT OF CONTEXT.

HE SAID EVEN THOUGH HE WAS SUSPENDED FOR 28 DAYS, HE THINKS THAT HE HAS SERVED THAT.

>> WE WILL TALK MORE ABOUT THAT EXACT CONTROVERSY ON OUR WEBSITE.

>>> UP NEXT, HOW THE CITY IS CELEBRATING MEXICO WEEK!

CINCO DE MAYO IS THIS FRIDAY, AND CHICAGO, YOU KNOW, WILL BE CELEBRATING.

THE CONSULATE GENERAL OF MEXICO IN CHICAGO IS HOLDING MEXICO WEEK, AND THIS YEAR THEY ARE PARTNERING WITH THE STATE OF JALISCO INSPIRING TRADITIONAL STATE DISHES, DANCES AND MORE.

JOINING US TO DISCUSS ALL OF THIS AND MORE IS CONSUL GENERAL OF MEXICO IN CHICAGO .

WELCOME TO CHICAGO TONIGHT!

GIVE US A SNAPSHOT OF THE EVENTS PLANNED FOR MEXICAN WEEK.

>> WE ARE VERY EXCITED TO CELEBRATE THIS FOR THE SECOND TIME.

WE BUILD OUR PROGRAM AROUND CINCO DE MAYO BECAUSE WE KNOW THAT IT CAPTURES THE IMAGINATION OF EVERYBODY.

WE WANT PEOPLE TO ENJOY MEXICAN FOOD AND MEXICAN TRADITIONS.

OUR JALISCO COMMUNITY IS ONE OF THE LARGEST THAT WE HAVE HERE AMONG OUR DIASPORA.

>> SO TELL US SOME OF THE FOODS THAT WILL BE SHOWCASED.

>> THEY ARE PREPARING A SPECIFIC MEAL THAT COMES FROM JALISCO.

YOU CAN GO TO ONE OF THESE STANDS AND ENJOY JALISCO TRADITIONS.

>> I HAVE TO ASK YOU, THIS IS A JOYOUS EVENT COMING AMID ALL THE CONCERN OVER MIGRANTS THAT ARE COMING TO CHICAGO.

THERE IS THE POLICY THAT ALLOWS EXPELLING ASYLUM-SEEKERS AT THE BORDER TO COME TO AN END.

HOW DOES THE GOVERNMENT OF MEXICO VIEW ALL OF THIS?

>> FOR MANY REASONS IT IS A VERY COMPLEX ISSUE.

GETTING INVOLVED IN FINDING SOLUTIONS, JUST YESTERDAY THEY WENT OVER SOME BASIC POINTS.

WE NEED TO COME UP WITH SOLUTIONS.

>> I SHOULD THROW IN THAT MANY MIGRANTS ARE NOT ORIGINALLY FROM MEXICO.

THEY ARE TRAVELING THROUGH MEXICO.

>> HERE AT THE CONSULATE ONE OF THE THINGS WE ARE TRYING TO DO IS PROVIDE TEXTBOOKS.

WE ARE TRYING TO FIND SOMETHING IN THIS AREA.

SO TO HELP THAT WE HAVE INCLUDED MANY SCHOOLS WHICH COULD BE A VERY USEFUL TOOL.

IT IS REALLY WELCOME AND A BIG HELP.

>> VERY QUICKLY, WHAT DO YOU THINK THE END OF TITLE 42 WILL CREATE?

>> IT WILL CREATE SOME NOISE.

MANY PEOPLE ARE TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THIS.

THEY SAY, YOU HAVE TO GO RIGHT NOW.

THE U.S. GOVERNMENT HAS PUT IN PLACE MANY PROCESSES TO MAKE SURE THAT ALL THOSE ASYLUM-SEEKERS CAN FIGURE OUT HOW TO BE IN THE U.S.

SO THEY GO THROUGH THIS ORDEAL TO GET TO THE BORDER.

>> SO NOT JUST MEXICO, BUT ALL CENTRAL AMERICA.

THE ISSUE AT HAND IS MEXICO WEEK, WHICH SOUNDS LIKE A LOT OF FUN AND SOUNDS DELICIOUS.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!

>> THANK YOU SO MUCH AND WE HOPE TO SEE YOU THERE.

>> YOU CAN FIND MORE DETAILS ABOUT MEXICO WEEK ON OUR WEBSITE.

AND WE ARE BACK TO WRAP THINGS UP AFTER THIS.

AND THAT'S OUR SHOW FOR TONIGHT.

FOR ALL OF US HERE AT CHICAGO TONIGHT, I AM PARIS SCHUTZ AND HAVE A WONDERFUL EVENING.
