US ON CHICAGO TONIGHT.

I AM BRANDIS FRIEDMAN.

HERE IS WHAT WE ARE LOOKING AT.

>> AT THE OFFICE OF SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE IS HEREBY DECLARED VACANT.

>> KEVIN McCARTHY IS OUSTED AS SPEAKER.

OUR POLITICS TEAM ON WHAT COMES NEXT.

>>> NO ONE AND NOWHERE, IS IMMUNE.

>> AND WHAT IS DRIVING AN INCREASE IN HATE CRIMES IN ILLINOIS.

>>> NOW TO SOME OF TODAY'S TOP STORIES.

THE CHICAGO POLICE DEPARTMENT HAS BEEN ABUSING ITS AUTHORITY TO STOP AND SEARCH RESIDENTS OF THE CITY, STOKING FEAR AND DIMINISHING TRUST.

THAT IS ACCORDING TO A NEW REPORT FROM THE INDEPENDENT MONITOR OF THE CHICAGO POLICE DEPARTMENT .

THE 39 PAGE REPORT DETAILS FEEDBACK RECEIVED FROM 400 CHICAGOANS ON THE PRACTICE OFTEN KNOWN AS STOP AND FRISK.

THE REPORT ALSO NAMED EIGHT RECOMMENDATIONS FOR CPD, INCLUDING OFFICER TRAINING.

BUT THE CPD RESPONDED THAT ALL THE CHANGES RECOMMENDED WERE ALREADY REQUIRED BY THE CONSENT DECREE.

THE AMERICAN CIVIL LIBERTIES UNION CRITICIZED THE RESPONSE FROM THE DEPARTMENT, SAYING IT DEMONSTRATES THAT THEY DON'T VALUE COMMUNITY INPUT.

FOR MORE ON THE STORY, INCLUDING THE FULL REPORT, VISIT OUR WEBSITE.

>>> RESIDENTS ON THE WEST SIDE ARE SOUNDING OFF ON A PLAN THAT WOULD TURN THE AUDIENCE AND PARKFIELD HOUSE INTO A MIGRANT CHILDREN.

A COMMUNITY MEETING IS SET TO KICK OFF TONIGHT AT 6:00 AT THE FIELD HOUSE IN GAIL WOULD.

MEMBERS OF THE PARK ADVISORY COUNCIL AND AREA RESIDENTS HELD A NEWS CONFERENCE AHEAD OF THE MEETING TO VOICE THEIR FRUSTRATION.

>> THE IMMIGRANTS, WHO I FEEL VERY BAD FOR, THEY HAVE BEEN A PART OF THIS PLAN.

ELECTED OFFICIALS HAVE NOT HAD A PLAN IN PLACE FOR THEM, AND THEY ARE USING US AS A SCAPEGOAT .

THAT LEAVES US HERE.

IT MAKES US LOOK LIKE THE BAD GUY.

WE'RE NOT THE BAD GUY.

>> WE'RE NOT ANTI-IMMIGRANT.

BUT WHAT WE DON'T UNDERSTAND AND THEY DON'T UNDERSTAND, YOU CANNOT KEEP BRINGING IMMIGRANTS IN.

THE CITY DOES NOT HAVE THE MONEY.

WE ARE THE ONES WHO WILL SUFFER FOR THIS FOR YEARS.

>> THE CITY PLAN WOULD REPORTEDLY BE TO HOUSE 200 MIGRANTS AT THE FIELD HOUSE FOR AT LEAST SIX MONTHS.

>>> THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WANTS TO MAKE IT EASIER FOR ANYONE TO ACCESS THE MORE THAN 1500 BOOKS BANNED FROM LIBRARIES ACROSS THE COUNTRY.

>> BOOKS ARE MORE THE COMPANIONS OF TEXT OR ENJOYMENT, THEY ARE SYMBOLS OF KNOWLEDGE THAT IMPACT ON SOCIETY.

IN A SIMILAR WAY, LIBRARIES ARE MORE THAN JUST CONTAINERS OF BOOKS.

THEY ARE SYMBOLS FOR PROGRESS .

A PROMISE OF A SPACE WHERE WE CAN ALL GET LOST IN THOUGHT.

>> THE KICKOFF BANNED BOOKS WEEKS, THE GOVERNOR ANNOUNCED THE EFFORT TO BUILD A COMPREHENSIVE COLLECTION OF THE BOOKS AT THREE UNIVERSITY LIBRARIES, WHICH ARE OPEN TO THE PUBLIC.

THE EFFORT WOULD ALSO EXPAND DIGITAL ACCESS TO THE BOOKS FOR THE DIGITAL PUBLIC LIBRARY OF AMERICA.

THE CHICAGO LIBRARY SAYS IT ALREADY OWNS ABOUT 25% OF THE 1500 BANNED BOOKS.

>>> THERE IS A NEW TEMPORARY CASINO IN RIVER NORTH.

>> WE TOOK ON THE CHALLENGE OF BUILDING A CASINO RIGHT HERE IN A 100-YEAR-OLD HISTORIC BUILDING, WE UNDERSTOOD WHAT THAT MEANT.

WE KNEW A LOT OF PEOPLE HERE USED TO GO HAVE GRADUATIONS AND GO TO THE CIRCUS HERE.

WE WERE COMING FROM THE OUTSIDE AND WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE BLENDED IN WELL TO WHAT THE COMMUNITY KNEW THIS BUILDING TO BE.

>> THE CHAIRMAN OF TRAGEDY TO JOKES THIS IS THE OPENING OF THE FIRST LEGAL CASINO.

IT OPENED LAST MONTH, BUT THERE WAS THE OFFICIAL WERE BECOME BEING -- CUTTING TODAY.

>>> UP NEXT, A GROWING NUMBER OF HATE CRIMES IN ILLINOIS, RIGHT AFTER THIS.

>>> SHOUT OUT THAT CHICAGO TONIGHT IS MADE POSSIBLE IN PART BY ALEXANDRA AND JOHN NICHOLS, THE GYM AND K FAMILY, THE POPE BROTHERS FOUNDATION, AND THE SUPPORT OF THESE DONORS.

>>> PRAIRIE STATE.

THAT IS ACCORDING TO A REPORT FROM THE ANTIDEFAMATION LEAGUE.

THAT REPORT SHOWS HATE CRIMES AND EXTREMISM HAVE SHARPLY INCREASED IN ILLINOIS SINCE 2021.

ANTI-SEMITISM ALONE INCREASING 120% BETWEEN 2021 AND 2022.

JOINING US TO TALK ABOUT THE REPORT IS DAVID GOLDENBERG, MIDWEST REGIONAL DIRECTOR OF THE ANTIDEFAMATION LEAGUE.

WELCOME BACK.

IN THE REPORT, YOU DETAIL ANTI-SEMITIC INCIDENTS UP 128%.

WHITE SUPREMACIST PROPAGANDA DISTRIBUTION IS UP 111% SINCE 2021.

HATE CRIMES ARE UP 80% SINCE 2020.

WHAT DOES ALL THIS TELL YOU?

>> IT TELLS US THAT ILLINOIS IS NOT IMMUNE TO THESE INCREASES IN HATE AND EXTREMISM.

MANY OF US THINK WE LIVE IN A STATE THAT IS IN A SAFE SPACE.

WE ARE NOT BANNING BOOKS HERE, WE ARE NOT HAVING QUESTIONS ABOUT CRITICAL RACE THEORY.

WE THINK THESE ISSUES ARE PUT TO BED, BUT THE REALITY IS, RIGHT HERE IN ILLINOIS, NORTHEASTERN ILLINOIS, WE ARE DEALING WITH ACTS OF HATE AND EXTREMISM.

>> HOW DOES ILLINOIS COMPARE TO OTHER STATES?

>> IN SOME AREAS, WE ARE BETTER OFF.

IS SOME OTHER AREAS, WE ARE NOT DOING SO WELL.

THE ANTI-SEMITISM, YOU GAVE THAT ONE STATISTIC, WE GO BACK A FEW EXTRA YEARS BACK TO 2016, IT IS A 430% INCREASE IN ANTI-SEMITIC INCIDENTS.

WE ARE AT A 20 YEAR HIGH FOR HATE CRIMES.

THERE ARE SOME AREAS WHERE WE ARE DOING BETTER, BUT A LOT OF AREAS WE HAVE A LOT OF WORK TO DO.

>> HERE IS WHAT THE LEADER OF THE CHINESE-AMERICAN SERVICE LEAGUE HAD TO SAY ON THIS REPORT TODAY.

>> IT IS SAD THAT NO UNDERREPRESENTED A COMMUNITY HAS BEEN COMPLETELY SAFE FROM THE IMPACT OF HATE.

THIS REPORT REMINDS US THAT WE NEED TO RECOGNIZE WHERE HATE IS AND HOW IT MANIFESTS AND SPREADS.

WHEN IT COMES TO FIGHTING HATE, IT TRULY TAKES A VILLAGE.

WE KNOW HOW MUCH WORK GOES INTO IT.

>> HOW WILL THE SUPPORTS OF THAT SUPPORT OTHER ORGANIZATIONS?

>> TODAY, WITH OUR NEWS CONFERENCE WE HAD WITH THE ATTORNEY GENERAL AND CITY OF CHICAGO AND OTHER STATE OFFICIALS, WE ALSO HAD NEARLY 10 COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS REPRESENTING THOSE COMMUNITIES THAT HAVE BEEN TARGETED MOST BY EXTREMIST IDEOLOGIES.

NOT ONLY DID WE HAVE REPRESENTATIVES OF THE JEWISH COMMUNITY, AAPI, BLACK, LGBTQ+, BUT ALSO WOMEN'S HEALTH ORGANIZATIONS WHO ARE PARTICIPATING IN THIS TOO.

THE DATA IS IMPORTANT, BUT IT DOESN'T TELL THE WHOLE PICTURE.

IT DOESN'T TALK ABOUT EXTREMISTS IN LAW ENFORCEMENT.

THE DATA DOESN'T TALK ABOUT THE TARGETING OF WOMEN'S HEALTH FACILITIES >> DOESN'T TALK ABOUT OTHER ORGANIZATIONS USING PUBLIC ENTITIES TO SPREAD TRANSFER LBO, HOMOPHOBIA, AND ANTI-SEMITISM.

>> WHAT YOU THINK IS DRIVING THE INCREASE.

>> SEVERAL THINGS, BUT FIRST AND FOREMOST, WHEN YOU LOOK AT TECHNOLOGY.

SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS.

THERE ARE BUSINESS MODELS THAT PROFIT OFF OF HATE.

WE HAVE ALGORITHMS THAT DIRECT PEOPLE TOWARDS HATEFUL CONTENT AND IDEOLOGY.

YOU ALSO HAVE THE CURRENT POLITICAL ENVIRONMENT.

THIS IDEA THAT THINGS THAT WERE WOULD HAVE SAID THAT A POLITICIAN SAID THESE THINGS THEY WOULD'VE BEEN DISQUALIFIED FOR OFFICE 10 YEARS AGO, NOW THEY GET A JUMP IN THE POLLS.

WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT THE RISK TO OUR DEMOCRACY, WE HAVE PEOPLE WHO HAVE THE ABILITY OR SEE SUCCESS IN SO WE DOUBT IN DEMOCRACY, THAT IS WHEN YOU SEE THESE HEALTH -- HATEFUL IDEOLOGIES COMING OUT.

PEOPLE ARE ABLE TO GRASP ONTO THEM.

THAT IS INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS.

>> HOW MUCH OF THIS IS A MATTER PEOPLE REPORTING THE INCIDENT MORE?

>> I THINK IT IS BOTH.

CERTAINLY, THE MORE YOU HAVE STORIES LIKE THIS ONE THE MORE NEW STORIES PEOPLE SEE, REPORTING BEGETS REPORTED.

THEY FEEL MORE COMFORTABLE AND NOWHERE TO GO.

BUT THE REALITY IS, WE ARE JUST HAVING MORE INCIDENTS.

>> THE REPORT TALKS ABOUT THE 111% INCREASE IN WHITE SUPREMACIST PROPAGANDA DISTRIBUTION.

WHAT DOES THAT LOOK LIKE?

>> THIS HAS TO DO WITH FLYERS.

WE HAVE SEEN LOTS OF REPORTS OVER TIME WERE COMMUNITIES AND INDIVIDUALS WAKE UP IN THE MORNING AND HAVE A FLYER ON THEIR LAWN.

IT INCLUDES ALSO STICKERS .

WE SEE THIS ON COLLEGE CAMPUSES A LOT.

WHITE SUPREMACIST PROPAGANDA IN THE FORM OF STICKERS THAT GOES ON A TELEPHONE POLE OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

THOSE OF THE TYPES OF THINGS WE'RE SEEING.

>> YOU ALSO MENTIONED WOMEN'S PRODUCTIVE HEALTH ADVOCATES AND WHAT THEY ARE SEEN.

ILLINOIS HAS BEEN CONSIDERED A SAFE HAVEN FOR ABORTION, BUT OBVIOUSLY, YOU ALL ARE STILL REPORTING ACTS OF TERRORISM AND VANDALISM ON CLINICS.

WHAT HAVE THE PROVIDERS EXPERIENCED?

>> AS WE HEARD TODAY FROM PLANNED PARENTHOOD OF ILLINOIS ABOUT THE THREATS, VANDALISM, ACTUAL ACTS OF TERRORISM DIRECTED TOWARDS THESE FACILITIES, SO WHILE OUR STATE MAY BE A SAFE HAVEN FOR REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS, IT ALSO BECOMES A TARGET OF THOSE WHO SEEK TO TAKE THOSE RIGHTS AWAY.

>> A DIRECTOR FROM THE QUALITY ILLINOIS ALSO JOINED YOU TO SPEAK ABOUT THIS REPORT TODAY.

HERE IS A LOOK AT WHAT HE SAID.

>> LGBTQ+ COMMUNITIES ARE RESILIENT.

WE WILL CONTINUE TO BUILD OUR OWN, BETTER WORLD IN THE FACE OF BIAS AND VIOLENCE WITH ALLIES BEHIND US.

WE ALSO NEED I LIES IN GOVERNMENT RIGHT THERE WITH US.

WE PROJECT THE LEADERSHIP OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL, SECRETARY OF STATE, THE GOVERNOR, BUT WE NEED PUBLIC OFFICIALS AT ALL LEVELS OF GOVERNMENT.

THEY NEED TO SHOW UP AND SPEAK UP IN SOLIDARITY.

>> SPECIFICALLY, WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE PUBLIC OFFICIALS DO?

>> FIRST, ONE OF THE THINGS WE SAW TODAY WITH SEVERAL PUBLIC OFFICIALS SPEAKING OUT OF SHOWING STRENGTH WITH COMMUNITIES.

WE ARE FORTUNATE HERE IN ILLINOIS, IN MANY WAYS, AND THAT WE HAVE A STATE GOVERNMENT, LOCAL OFFICIALS WHO DON'T REALLY NEED A WHOLE LOT OF CONVINCING THAT WE HAVE A PROBLEM HERE.

THE CONVERSATIONS WE HAVE HERE IN ILLINOIS ARE VERY DIFFERENT THAN OTHER PARTS OF THE MIDWEST.

WHAT WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE THEM DO IS CREATE A COMPREHENSIVE STRATEGY TO ADDRESS DOMESTIC TERRORISM AND DOMESTIC EXTREMISM HERE IN THE STATE OF ILLINOIS.

WHEN IT COMES TO HATE CRIMES, WE NEED BETTER REPORTING OF HATE CRIMES.

THAT MEANS LAW ENFORCEMENT HAS TO BE FULLY TRAINED AND BETTER TRAINED.

WE DON'T MANDATE IT RIGHT NOW IN THE STATE OF ILLINOIS.

WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE LAW ENFORCEMENT MANDATED TO TAKE HATE CRIMES TRAINING.

WE ALSO WANT TO CREATE BETTER MECHANISMS AND TOOLS THROUGH WHICH VICTIMS OF HATE CRIMES AND HATE INCIDENTS TO REPORT THOSE CRIMES.

>> A LOT OF WORK.

DAVID GOLDENBERG, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR JOINING US.

>>> UP NEXT, SPOTLIGHT POLITICS TEAM AND A HISTORIC SHAKEUP IN WASHINGTON D.C. STAY WITH US.

>>> THE UNITED STATES BECAUSE OF THE HOUSE HAS BEEN OUSTED FROM HIS CHAIR.

>> THE OFFICE OF SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE OF THE UNITED STATES HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES IS HEREBY DECLARED VACANT.

>> JOINING US NOW WITH ALL THAT A MUCH MORE IS OUR FULL SPOTLIGHT POLITICS TEAM.

FOR THE FIRST TIME IN HISTORY, CITY SPEAKER THE HOUSE, KEVIN McCARTHY, LOST THE GAVEL.

WHAT HAPPENED?

>> HE LOST THE CONFIDENCE OF THE RIGHT WING OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY, WHICH AS WE ALL KNOW, IS VERY RIGHT WING.

TO BEGIN WITH, HE ONLY HAD A FIVE VOTE MAJORITY.

HE HAD EIGHT PEOPLE VOTE AGAINST HIM, AND THAT MEANS HE IS OUT OF THE CHAIR FOR THE FIRST TIME IN U.S. HISTORY.

I FEEL OBLIGATED TO NOTE THAT FORMER SPEAKER, NANCY PELOSI, ALSO HAD A FIVE VOTE MAJORITY IN THE LAST CONGRESS AND KEPT HER SEAT.

>> KEPT HER DUCKS IN A ROW.

>> IN THIS INSTANCE, A LOT OF REPUBLICANS, I'M NOT SURE HOW MANY, BUT A LOT OF REPUBLICANS VOTED AGAINST THEIR OWN SPEAKER.

THE VOTE TO ELECT HIM WAS A BIT OF A NIGHTMARE TOO.

WILL BE SEE SOMETHING LIKE THAT AGAIN TO REPLACE HIM?

>> THE NEVER ENDING FOE .

IT IS REALLY HARD TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS NOW WITH REPUBLICANS.

WHO WILL BE THE CONSENSUS CANDIDATE KEEP US NARROW AND FRACTURED AND BROKEN CAUCUS TOGETHER?

AND THEN, IF SOMEONE DOES EMERGE, WHAT ARE THEY SUPPOSED TO DO TO KEEP THEIR JOBS?

ARE THEY SUPPOSED TO CAREEN TOWARDS ANOTHER GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN BECAUSE OF WHAT MATT GAETZ IS SAYING?

HE SAYS HE DOESN'T WANT TO FUND GOVERNMENT WITH CONTINUING RESOLUTIONS.

IF A NEW SPEAKER IS ELECTED AND THEY DON'T VOTE TO SHUT THE GOVERNMENT DOWN, THAT THEY WILL GET VACATED TOO.

WHO WOULD EVEN WANT THIS JOB?

VERY HARD TO SEE WHO COULD BE A CONSENSUS CANDIDATE AND HOW THIS CONGRESS WILL EVEN BE FUNCTIONAL GOING FORWARD.

>> YOU SAID HE LOST THE FAR RIGHT, BUT I THINK WE COULD ARGUABLY SAY HE NEVER HAD THEM IN THE FIRST PLACE.

>> HE AGREED TO HAVING ONE PERSON VOTE TO VACATE, MATT GAETZ.

>> EXACTLY.

THAT IS PART OF THE RULE.

THE RULES THAT HE AGREED TO IN ORDER TO SEND TO THIS POSITION.

HE WASN'T WORRIED ABOUT IT AT THE TIME.

BUT WAIT.

>> POLITICALLY, DOES THIS HELP THE DEMOCRATS THAT THE GOP APPEARS TO BE A CIRCUS?

BUT YOU KNOW, I GUESS I WOULD SAY IT DOESN'T HELP AMERICA, PERIOD.

IT FURTHER TAKES THE COUNTRY INTO MORE DYSFUNCTION.

WE WERE ALREADY CAREENING TOWARDS THIS LACK OF BUDGET.

WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?

DOES THIS SET AMERICA UP FOR MORE THAN?

WHAT DOES IT SAY TO THE WORLD WHEN THINGS ARE IN SUCH A DISARRAY?

>> MIGHT HELP THE DEMOCRATS?

POTENTIALLY, ESPECIALLY IF WE HAVE ELECTIONS ON THE HORIZON.

BUT SO MANY OF THESE DISTRICTS ARE SO GERRYMANDERED, WHICH IS WHY YOU HAVE A POLARIZED CONGRESS.

THAT IS WHY YOU HAVE VERY FOR PROGRESSIVES HAVING A BETTER TIME GETTING ELECTED AND THE SUPER HARD RIGHT CONSERVATIVES.

YOU'RE NOT REALLY GOING TO SEE, I THINK, ANY SORT OF MAJOR SHIFT IN ANY OF THAT LONG-TERM.

DOESN'T GIVE DEMOCRATS A BUMP RIGHT NOW?

PERHAPS, BUT AGAIN, LOOK BACK TO SOME OF THE THINGS ON THE TABLE.

UKRAINE REMAINS UP IN THE AIR.

EFFECT, EVEN MORE SO THAN IT WAS BEFORE.

>> SHIFTED TO THE MICRO ENTICEMENTS -- MICRO-CRISIS, THE GOVERNOR SAYS WE ARE IN AN UNTENABLE SITUATION WITH THE INFLUX OF MIGRANTS.

THE MAYOR AND THE GOVERNOR SAID THEY WERE ON A CALL WITH THE WHITE HOUSE OVER THE WEEKEND.

WHAT ARE THEY ASKING FOR?

>> COLD HARD CASH.

>> SHOW ME THE MONEY.

>> THE STATE SAYS IT HAS BEEN NEARLY $330 MILLION CARING FOR MIGRANTS, THE CITY SOMEWHERE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD OF $100 MILLION.

FEDERAL REIMBURSEMENT HAS ONLY BEEN A FRACTION OF THAT, LESS THAN $50 MILLION .

THEY NEED HELP.

THEY ALSO WANT MORE HELP IN FIGURING OUT WHEN PEOPLE ARE ARRIVING IN CHICAGO.

AND THEY ARE CONCERNED THAT THE CITY IS ALREADY OVERWHELMED AND IS ABOUT TO GO FROM BAD TO WORSE BECAUSE THE GOVERNOR'S OFFICE IS WARNING PEOPLE THERE EXPECTING 25 BUSES PER DAY TO ARRIVE IN CHICAGO, WHICH IS MORE THAN DOUBLE WHAT HAS ARRIVED IN THE PAST WEEK, WHICH HAS ALREADY FORCED THE CITY TO HOUSE NEARLY 3000 PEOPLE IN POLICE STATIONS AND AIRPORTS ACROSS THE CITY.

THERE IS SIMPLY NO INFRASTRUCTURE TO CARE FOR THESE PEOPLE WHO ARE COMING HERE SICK AND HUNGRY AND IN DESPERATE NEED OF HELP BECAUSE THEY HAVE BEEN TRAUMATIZED AFTER A LONG JOURNEY.

THIS IS JUST A BREAK GLASS IN CASE OF EMERGENCY PLEA FOR HELP.

AND BECAUSE BOTH THE GOVERNOR AND MAYOR BELIEVE CHICAGO IS BEING TARGETED BY TEXAS GOVERNOR GREG ABBOTT, BECAUSE CHICAGO WAS SELECTED TO HOST THE 2024 DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CONVENTION, WHICH MAKE CHICAGO A GOOD WAY TO STICK IT TO JOE BIDEN.

>> IT IS DISTURBING.

YOU CAN TRIED BY A POLICE STATION IN THE CITY WITHOUT PEOPLE LIVING OUTSIDE OF THEM.

CAN THE STATE DO MORE ?

>> THIS IS GETTING INTO A DIFFICULT POSITION FOR GOVERNOR PRITZKER.

WE HAVE SEEN THIS FACE-OFF BETWEEN THE GOVERNOR AND THE MAYOR, EVEN THOUGH THEY'RE TRYING TO SAY THEY GET ALONG AND PUT ON HAPPY FACES.

THE ISSUE IS THAT, AS HE TRIED TO MAKE NOTE OF IN THIS LETTER, THIS IS JUST TOO BIG A PROBLEM FOR A CITY OR A STATE TO HANDLE.

THE MAGNITUDE OF IT IS PASS THAT .

THERE IS A DEMAND FOR MONEY AND COORDINATION.

THERE'S NOTHING ILLINOIS COULD DO TO DEMAND THAT TEXAS COOPERATE, PARTICULARLY WHEN THERE IS A POLITICAL PLAY GOING ON.

AGAIN, EARLY ON IN THE CRISIS, TEXAS SAID THAT ILLINOIS IS SEEING A LITTLE BIT OF WHAT WE FACE ALONG THE BORDER ALL THE TIME.

THIS IS SHOWING LIBERAL LEANING CITIES AND STATES WHAT IS GOING ON ELSEWHERE.

ILLINOIS DOESN'T HAVE THE CASH.

LOOK BACK TO WHEN THE BUDGET PASSED, THERE WAS A BIG FIGHT OVER HEALTH CARE FOR UNDOCUMENTED IMMIGRANTS WHO ARE ALREADY LIVING IN THE STATE OF ILLINOIS WITH A LACK OF SUPPORT BECAUSE OF A LACK OF BUDGET.

>> THERE WAS A MEETING WITH CITY OFFICIALS THAT GOT HEATED.

WHAT IS THE ARGUMENT IN THAT COMMUNITY?

>> THIS UNDERSCORES HOW DIFFICULT IT IS TO FIND TEMPORARY SHELTER IN ANY NEIGHBORHOOD .

PILSEN IS CONSIDERED ONE OF THE HEARTS OF THE LATINO COMMUNITY IN THE CITY OF CHICAGO.

AND THERE'S PUSHBACK THERE.

IT IS THE SAME THING HERE EVERYWHERE.

WE WANT TO BE HUMANITARIAN AND HELP PEOPLE, BUT WHAT ABOUT MONEY FOR OUR CRUMBLING INFRASTRUCTURE AND OUR SCHOOLS AND PROPERTY TAX RELIEF AND OUR PARTS?

IT ALSO UNDERSCORES THE FACT THAT IT DOESN'T REALLY COME DOWN TO THE BLACK COMMUNITY VERSUS LATINO COMMUNITY.

WHEN IT COMES DOWN TO IS FOLKS THAT ARE PERMANENT RESIDENTS HERE AND THE FOLKS THAT ARE NEW ARRIVALS HERE, ASYLUM-SEEKERS.

PERMANENT RESIDENT SAY YOU'RE SPENDING $30 MILLION POTENTIALLY IN TENT CITIES.

THAT WAS MONEY WE COULD HAVE USED FOR THESE OTHER THINGS.

>> PICK A CAUSE, HEALTHCARE, HOUSING , HOMELESSNESS.

>> IT IS GOING TO BE SO DIFFICULT TO FIND A SPOT.

>> ON THE NOTION OF THOSE CONTROVERSIAL TENT SHELTERS, WHAT IS THE STATUS?

>> WE'RE STILL WAITING TO HEAR FROM THE MAYOR'S OFFICE WHERE THEY WILL BE LOCATED.

THERE IS A GOOD DEAL OF DISAGREEMENT WITHIN THE PROGRESSIVE WING OF THE CITY COUNCIL ABOUT WHETHER THEY SHOULD BE BILLED AT ALL.

THE BEAR HAS BEEN CONSISTENTLY TELLING HIS ALLIES THAT WE DON'T HAVE ANY OTHER OPTIONS.

IT IS GOING TO GET COOL THIS WEEKEND, IT IS NOT GOING TO DROP BELOW FREEZING, BUT I WOULD IMAGINE THAT CONDITIONS ARE ABOUT TO GET SIGNIFICANTLY WORSE FOR THE PEOPLE TO LIVE AT THE POLICE STATIONS AND OUTSIDE THE POLICE STATIONS.

THE MAYOR'S OFFICE IS CLEARLY AWARE THAT THE CLOCK IS TICKING.

IF IT IS NOT THIS BAD OPTION, GIVE THEM ANY OTHER BAD OPTION , AND THEY SAY THEY WOULD CONSIDER IT.

>> ALL OF THEM DON'T SOUND TOO GOOD.

SHIFTING TO POLITICS, ALDERMAN LOPEZ THANK HE IS RUNNING AGAINST GARCIA IN THE DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY.

HE TALKS LIKE A REPUBLICAN BUT RUNS LIKE A DEMOCRAT.

>> HE IS ONE OF THE MOST CONSERVATIVE MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL.

HE IS CONSISTENTLY SOMEBODY WHO HAS ADVOCATED FOR THE POLICE UNION.

HE IS ALSO A LEADING VOICE AND WANTING THE CITY TO SCALE BACK ITS PROTECTIONS FOR UNDOCUMENTED IMMIGRANTS.

HE SEES THAT AS AN ANTI-CRIME MEASURE WHILE OTHER PEOPLE SAY HE IS SPLITTING THE LATINO COMMUNITY AGAINST ITSELF.

IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT HE RAN FOR CONGRESS WAS BEFORE AGAINST GARCIA AND DROPPED OUT AND RAN FOR MAYOR AND THEN DROPPED OUT.

>> THE BASE OF SUPPORT WILL BE HARD TO BE.

>> HE'S BUILT A PRETTY BIG POLITICAL OPERATION ON THE SOUTHWEST SIDE WITH PROGRESSIVES, LATINOS, THE CHICAGO TEACHERS UNION.

HIS IDEOLOGIES WERE CONSISTENT WITH THE RESIDENTS THERE.

BUT MAYBE LOPEZ IS THINKING, WHAT IF HE DOESN'T WANT TO RUN AGAIN .

HE HAD A TRAGEDY IN HIS FAMILY.

YES INDICATED HE WOULD DO ANYTHING OTHER THAN RUN AND TRY TO KEEP THAT SCENE.

LOPEZ HAS ALSO USED THIS RIGHTWARD IMAGE TO GARNER LOTS OF NATIONAL TV APPEARANCES FOR HIMSELF.

THIS MIGHT HELP IN THAT STRATEGY KNOWING THAT HE WILL BE A CANDIDATE.

IS NOT SHY ABOUT PROMOTING THOSE APPEARANCES.

>> WHEN THE NEW DISTRICT GOES INTO THE SUBURBS WHERE GARCIA MIGHT NOT HAVE THOSE SAME CONNECTIONS AND BASIS OF SUPPORT, AND PERHAPS, THAT MORE CONSERVATIVE LEANING STANCE COULD GIVE A BOOST.

THAT SAID, IF YOU LIVE IN ONE OF THE SUBURBAN AREAS, YOU PROBABLY KNOW WHO CHUY GARCIA IS.

THE LIKELIHOOD THAT LOW PASSES ANY REAL NAME RECOGNITION THERE , THAT MAKES IT AN UPHILL BATTLE.

>> IT IS VERY ODD DISTRICTS IS THE REDISTRICTING.

WE HAVE PARTS OF ELMHURST NOW REPRESENTED.

ELMHURST MAYBE NOT THE MOST PROGRESSIVE BASTION, ALTHOUGH PROBABLY MORE BLUE THAN IT USED TO BE.

MAYBE A MESSAGE OF TOUGH ON CRIME WORKS IN THOSE PARTS OF THE DISTRICT.

>> LET'S BRIEFLY TALK ABOUT THE NEW POLICE SUPERINTENDENT, LARRY SNELLING.

TALK ABOUT USING TECHNOLOGY TO HELP WITH CRIME, BUT THE MAYOR RAN ON ELIMINATING THE SHOTSPOTTER TECHNOLOGY.

THE CONTRACT WAS RENEWED BECAUSE THE SCANS WERE TIED.

>> HE HAS PUBLICLY SAID HE SUPPORTS SHOTSPOTTER.

HE THINKS IT SAVES LIVES.

IT AUTOMATICALLY DETECTS WHAT APPEARS TO BE GUNSHOTS SO POLICE CAN BE DEPLOYED.

CRITICS SAY IT DETECTS OTHER THINGS AND WRONGLY LEADS POLICE ON A CHASE.

AND IT IS A WASTE OF MONEY.

BUT SUPPORTIVE SAY THAT SHOTSPOTTER WORKS 97% OF THE TIME.

I DO THINK WE HAVE DIGS INTO THE NUMBERS ON THAT.

BRANDON JOHNSON IS A MAYOR THAT LISTENS.

WILL HE LISTEN TO LARRY SNELLING ON THIS?

WHO WILL WIN THIS ARGUMENT?

I THINK IT IS AN OPEN QUESTION.

>> WE WILL SEE A LITTLE BIT IF THERE IS MORE MONEY IN THE BUDGET NEXT WEEK FOR SHOTSPOTTER.

THAT IS SOMETHING I WILL BE WATCHING CLOSELY FOR.

BUT I THINK THAT JOHNSON IS IN A LITTLE BIT OF A PICKLE WITH THIS.

THIS WAS A KEY PROMISE HE MADE WHILE HE WAS ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL .

IT IS NOT JUST THAT SHOTSPOTTER MIGHT NOT BE EFFECTIVE, BUT THAT BLACK AND LATINO ADVOCATES BELIEVE IT CONTRIBUTES TO THE OVER POLICING OF THEIR COMMUNITIES, WHICH EXPOSES THEM TO MORE POLICE RELATED VIOLENCE.

IT IS GOING TO BE A VERY HARD SELL FOR JOHNSON TO WALK THAT BACK.

>> THANK YOU TEAM.
