>> Good evening and thanks for joining us on the weekend review.

I'm Brandis Friedman Nick Bloomberg has the evening off after weeks of threatening to send the National Guard to Chicago.

President Donald Trump says he's choosing a different city.

>> Even if he said he would preferred Chicago.

>> We're going to Memphis.

Memphis.

Is that the next a deeply troubled and the mayor is happy Democrat met with the mayor is happy.

And the governor Tennessee, the governor is happy that despite Memphis police saying crime is at a 25 year low so far this year.

>> Meanwhile, immigration and Customs Enforcement officials fatally shoot a man in suburban Franklin Park while carrying out an enforcement operation.

And officer was taken to a hospital with, quote, severe injuries, according to ICE.

It comes amid ramped up immigration efforts that have neighbors, especially in Southwest side communities concerned.

A lot of unfortunate ice activities.

>> In Archer Heights area in Cicero Borough witches treating our community where they should not be treated.

>> Despite immigration concerns, organizers of Mexican Independence Day celebrations are moving forward with their events.

In less than 36 hours.

The suspect was has apprehended in Utah.

22 year-old man is in custody suspected in the fatal shooting of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.

And questions remain after the Bears flopped in their season opener.

But team officials make it clear they want out of Chicago for Arlington Heights.

can they do it without the state's help?

And now to our week in review panel joining us, our Olivia Aulander of the Chicago Tribune.

>> Sure, the saying of Bloomberg News.

Frontier Garcia Hernandez of Block Club Chicago and Rob Heart of WBBM Newsradio.

Thanks to all of you for joining us.

And welcome back.

Olivia, let's start with you because DHS confirming, of course, that we just heard that an ice agent fatally shot a man in northwest suburban Franklin Park today.

Bring us up to speed.

What happened?

>> Yeah, this is obviously a developing situation, but it looks like an ice agent did fatally shoot someone in the suburbs of Chicago.

Governor Pritzker has called for full transparency on this issue.

But it seems like at this point we just have the report from ice for what happened.

Neighbors who heard some gunshots saw police cars, that sort of thing.

But this just comes during a really tense week for immigration enforcement in Chicago.

And it kind of just, you know, feels like this on something, you know, that happening it just comes in a really tense time in the community.

And what I say happens that the man was trying to run over the age with >> Yes, and you know what?

That neighbor told Tribune that they felt that the you know, might have just panicked about something like that.

It's really not clear at this point exactly what was going on.

But yeah, that that is what I said happened.

>> So obviously still waiting for further details.

Right?

reports that he ended up like, like you said, maybe he panicked whatever the case was it in draft dragging this ice agent with along the cars.

So >> that agent is is in the hospital serious Yes, France, ice has also announced earlier this week they announced the operation of or if they announced the launch of Operation Midway What is that intended to be?

>> According to the Department of Homeland Security is intended arrest undocumented people in Chicago in Illinois did this after weeks of President Trump threatening to send the National Guard and immigration officers to Chicago, Governor JB Pritzker it this week talked in Pilsen inside 100 agents or 200 agents are expected to be here.

And they have seen in they happen to in the community.

There has been a surge in calls to hotlines to report.

I sightings and there has been an uptick in arrests, according to community groups.

But that remains to be seen to how widespread and whether these numbers higher than before the Right?

Because it feels like we're not really getting any real numbers like we know what ICE has said through their press releases and on social media.

But do we have any sense?

>> Of how many people could be getting arrested or have been.

It is unclear at this The Department of Homeland Security has issued press statements just mentioning some people with charges that were detained as part of these operations.

>> But they have not indicated whether they were arrested in Chicago or Illinois when they were arrested.

And whether, you know, they have any criminal charges in some cases in others, they have said they book you the worst of the worst community groups say they have seen an uptick in arrests.

They have seen a few confirmed the arrest, but they don't have numbers either.

So at this point, we don't know how widespread this arrest happened right?

Rob.

You know, we had weeks of talk and speculation about what would happen this week that alleged reads did whatever ICE did this week turn out to be.

>> What many people feared?

>> Well, at the present time, we are still in a sense a state of anticipation because state officials, Governor Pritzker, they say they had they believe that more immigration and Customs Enforcement personnel and officials are on their way that they are.

They will be operating at a naval station.

Great Lakes in North Chicago.

at the present time, hard numbers are still very low.

You're hearing about maybe 13 confirmed arrests so far and some of those arrests actually took place out of state and the reality, of course, does not meet the the hype that he's been presented on social media last week we were promised to collapse.

Now and the reality has not met the meme as of yet home He hasn't been able use that erupted.

I'm Olivia, same question to you.

How would you compare what was expected to it?

We actually saw this past week.

Yeah.

I mean, if you think about just a little over a week ago, we were expecting potentially National Guard, actual National Guard to be in Chicago's streets just like they were.

>> And Washington, D.C., and that obviously has not materialized.

But with the president kind of backing off of that.

>> But still, we've seen that significant uptick in.

There's like 500 hotline car calls to a top on immigration.

Helpline earlier this week in just a single day.

So obviously people are seeing ice out there are arrests and activist groups are reporting a few some more than the 13 or so dozen or so that have been reported by eyes.

But yeah, it's it's it's unclear right now.

It just seems like people are saying ICE agents out there, not the National Guard other things that we may have expected.

But if they still are on edge because of it.

>> Should as you know, is and observing journalist, you know, how do you read all of the things that we've seen happen this week in this space.

>> I think this is one of the many challenges that cities around the country are facing right now.

Right there.

They have physical challenges cup political issues that mayors are dealing with.

And so this is just layered on top of everything else that's going on, right?

That added pressure from from the federal government, depending on which city you are.

Of course.

And you know, the president earlier on this week, he seemed to hedge on whether or not the National Guard would be coming to Chicago.

>> And then, of course, today switched it up entirely on.

Here's his attorney General, Pam Bondi in.

She's talking about Chicago a couple of days ago.

>> We have a government here that does not want to cooperate with President Trump and he wants to come in here and he wants to help the city.

He wants to clean up Chicago and its suburbs.

>> Olivia, is it likely that the messaging from Governor Pritzker, Mayor Johnson worked?

>> You know The president said earlier today like leaders, Democratic leaders were resisting in Chicago.

I mean, I'm I'm sure would be nice Pritzker.

You now to make up the cleats.

you know, it's not really clear, though.

There's also the Supreme Court ruling.

I'm just a few days ago that said that what Trump did it in Los Angeles with the National Guard on, you was not lawful.

So that may have played into it, too.

It's hard to But yeah, as you said out and things really have changed.

Lawsuit is on subject.

Rob.

It's a from a political standpoint, even if the National Guard doesn't set foot in Chicago, I it could potentially be a win for the White House and for President Trump because every weekend, every day there is a crime that takes place in the city that garners national attention and the entire conservative media apparatus is going to be keeping an eye and every bicycle stolen in the city and if anything happens, it will be presented see.

This is what happens when you don't ask for my help.

So it could potentially be a political win for the White House, even if the National Guard never shows up a front Is there, you know, still the chance that next week that we see continued escalation of ice efforts in Chicago.

>> That appears to be the Kays early reporting suggests that that ICE agents would be here for 30 to 45 days.

>> And Governor Pritzker has warned that he believes we haven't the most of and has inforcement yet.

It is hard to tell because ISIS and really gave us a detailed plan of what's happening, what they're planning to do or whether they'll be detaining people here or there.

But organizers on the ground, neighbors and officials are preparing for that in case that continues to happen and urging neighbors to, you know, continue to know their rights and report cost the hotline and the organized.

And of course, meanwhile, there are reports that the president does have cooperation from leadership in Memphis, Tennessee.

Memphis House, a Democratic.

>> mayor and of course, Tennessee has a Republican governor.

But >> the president says that's where the National Guard is going because they he's got cooperation there.

What's the latest there?

Anyone?

Front what's happening in Memphis to careful.

But the president saying.

>> than those comments, I'm not sure we know much more other than, you know.

That's the plan.

I haven't seen any other reports of what the plans are for I'm sure the cause plans.

So, of course, as all this plays out, immigrant and immigration rights advocates, they're responding to community fears.

Last week there was a report grito the festival was going to be canceled.

>> There's been some updates to that this week front here.

What can you tell us?

What was happening with the Yes, there was a big festivals opposed happen downtown in Grand Park agreed to festivals opposed to draw thousands of people to the city to celebrate Mexican Independence Day.

>> That got canceled amid fears and threats ICE operations.

There is a smaller celebration happening in Pilsen put together by local community leaders and organizers who will host it at a local church.

It was initially going to the head public Fossa, but they're saying they'll do it at a church to keep people safe.

Amid the.

>> The concern of ice rates.

There's also the Mexican Independence Day parade at the Little Village this Sunday.

And organizers have stood firmly inside.

They will continue to do it amid the threat of ICE raids, they're organized.

They will have organizers on the ground.

They'll have lawyers on the ground and they'll have safety measures in place.

Some of the organizers are urging people if they're undocumented or they feel they're at risk to stay home and watch and celebrate from home.

You also reported on the impact of all of this on Latino owned businesses.

What are you hearing as we've heard from really from the start of this week fear and anxiety have.

>> Spread among community members and they're not visiting the commercial corridors that they usually frequent are now going to stores on.

And that RAF foot traffic is down in places such as 26 Street, the Little Village commercial corridor there or Archer Avenue in Brighton Park.

So this is what we're hearing.

I was out in Little Village Monday and yet that there were less people outside and business owners told me they've seen less people dining and shopping and there the revenue is taking a hit just from last weekend.

If they're expecting that will continue to be the case.

As long as ice Okay.

So the other >> big sort of political story this week is, of course, the issue of political violence.

Conservative activist Charlie Kirk being shot and killed while speaking at a Utah Rob, remind us who Charlie Kirk Charlie Kirk, who is the founder of Turning Point USA.

Also a Chicago area native.

He was from Arlington Heights, Prospect Heights with the high school in Wheeling and develop a social media following doing what he did when he was shot on Wednesday, which was going to college is.

>> And the >> And in some cases getting into ideological arguments with people who disagreed with them, but where he his bread and butter was on social media because those interactions with people with whom he disagreed were edited down in caught fire on social media was very shareable.

And if you're looking for something to back up your argument, you can always refer to something that Charlie Kirk had said and as a result of that social media following, not only was it, that was turning Point USA.

There was also a turning point chapters other countries like that's how influential he was.

And he was very much a part the Trump administration.

Trump campaign effort register more college students in 2024.

And also he was the pioneer of some social media tactics that the Trump campaign adopted last year.

It was that look back to the events.

It McDonald's and the garbage truck and the that the anecdotes about Arnold Palmer on the campaign trail last year.

Didn't make a lot of sense from a traditional media standpoint.

But once it was sliced and diced and sent into the social media algorithm, was designed to make him look very good.

And that was a social media persuasion tactic.

That was that was pioneered by Charlie Kirk.

So he was a very influential person when he was shot this week.

And a 22 year-old is in custody, arrested in Utah.

His father turned him in based on the images that were sent out by law enforcement this week.

And once again, we have this very familiar dance now of someone there.

There's a shooting.

What was the what was motivating the gunman where the gunman's political beliefs hear all this, the 17 different angles on the video which way are which was available everywhere.

I promoted video today on Instagram showing the graphic video of Charlie Kirk, being hit by a sniper's bullet.

So that's just part of the world in which we live and certainly stunning unfortunate that that is the world we live in a shooting you know, what was your reaction when you when you learned about this this week when you and what does it say about political violence in our country right now?

>> I think just as Rob was saying, there's just a lot of heated rhetoric right now.

And I think that >> we're all watching to see how all this unfolds.

What what are we hearing, right?

What it what we heard from President Trump and some of his supporters, Olivia?

>> Yeah, it's I would say as sort of mixed bag on from different folks in Republican Party.

But on a lot of calls of anger that this happened on some calls, you know, to not respond with with violence to violence.

But, yeah, I mean, this was someone who was clearly revered the right and especially among younger Republicans.

A lot of Republicans that we're really aligned with Trump.

So I think if you just I you know, this is something as Rob said, that we really saw play out on social media, scrolling through social media schooling or acts.

It was impossible.

Not see these kinds of reactions from Republicans.

You anger people on the left who had you know, maybe inappropriate things about Kirk's death.

It was just a really awesome, divisive time to be on social media.

you know, someone who clearly meant a lot to to people and get millions of followers that he had.

>> Also, Olivia, this afternoon, Governor Pritzker issuing an executive order on vaccine access.

What does this mean what you do?

So no actual like new guidelines yet on vaccine access.

But Governor Pritzker is responding secretary of Health and Human Services.

Robert F Kennedy Junior, who you know, taken narrowed some of the uses of vaccines for younger people for kids and and also, you know, made some moves at the CDC.

That of really angered some Democrats and public health.

officials across the country.

So Pritzker with this order is saying we're going to put together our own set of recommendations.

Not sure if they're going to be out that they'll be coming out actually for the fall.

It seems like pretty soon based on the press release that he sent out today and then based on that providers will be able to administer vaccines.

Not clear yet exactly what the cost is going to be because, you know, one impact of some, but there are options might be that some things are no longer covered by insurance that used to be.

And looks like from the order.

But that might that cost might be help for some people.

But maybe an oyens drive on different types of insurance out.

So kind of some things to to shake out on that.

But Governor Pritzker's, you know, joining other blue governors, other blue states in responding to the Trump administration on and it will potentially change some things for Illinois.

I'm getting vaccines in the So stay tuned.

so advocates for people who are experiencing homelessness this week.

Those advocates are pushing back against the city's clearing of encampment at Legion Park.

>> Brought to you what happened this week?

>> Yes, there was an encampment at Legion Park that was cleared out by the park district with the help of Chicago police this week.

This Tuesday.

This was after a the most recent incident.

There was a fire in July 28 and it erupted in that meet the Park district decide that they would close down that encampment.

>> There were some wooden structures in the incumbent.

So this was just not tense.

There were some wooden homes that have been built along the riverbank and those are the homes that got torn down this week.

Tuesday.

Obviously, these came with mixed reactions with protesters and help housing activists saying this is not a solution and some of the encampment residents saying they'll just move to a different tack.

Now or they'll find another solution.

But they don't want to go to a shelter.

Meanwhile, other neighbors where happy about this and said, you know, they have concerned about fires breaking out at the camp.

Some of them happened saying, you know, they have been attacked or hat worried about their safety and their children's safety using the park.

So this was a mixed reaction, but ultimately a lot of housing advocates and protesters said, you know, this is not real solution.

They're just getting moved to a different park or a shelter or elsewhere.

But they're not really getting a long-term housing alternative.

Should you give us a little bit of context on how the city has been responding to its its homelessness, its housing situation.

>> Homelessness has been an increasing problem for Chicago.

>> Since the pandemic and one of the things that the Johnson administration had backed is the bring home Chicago referendum and they want it to levy a higher rate on home sales above 2 million dollars.

So higher valued homes that referendum did not pass.

And the concern from the administration has expressed is that he was a solution that we had brought worth provide some funding for a problem in the city and, you know, there's questions about whether it'll come back at some point and where the funding will come from.

But this is certainly homelessness is a problem that Chicago is dealing with as well as many other cities around the country post pandemic and there will have to be some questions on down the line about where does that funding come from?

Where one of the logistics, what are the operational steps that the cities are taking to address this problem.

In truth.

You also did some reporting this week on CPS going to the bond market for the first time in 2 years.

What you find Well.

>> Debt and buns and loans were a big topic during the CPS budget season leading all the way up to just like last couple of days, right before the budget vote, which in itself was very tense.

And, you know, came down a little bit to the wire yesterday, the Chicago Board of Education sold 650 million dollars worth of bonds in the municipal bond market.

Now, couple of things about this.

Is that CPS is the largest junk bond issuer in the U.S. Municipal Market.

What does that mean?

It just has a much lower rating, not investment grade rating than many other school districts around the country.

And that means it pays a higher interest rate.

It pays investors more to borrow that money.

So I had actually talked about last time.

I think I was on the show.

Is it about a month ago the junk market was not doing as well.

And so it looked like he was kind of a risky time for them to come into the market this week.

Actually, the junk market had turned around a little bit.

So became opportune time for them to actually come.

They still paid more than 2 years ago.

But a little bit less than expected a little bit less than more.

that we will be better.

But the debt and loans have been a big topic for CPS because >> it has such a large deficit and the debate during the budget season was whether they should take a short-term loan for operational expenses potentially use that to pay the city for a pension contribution that they decided not to do so.

This was a different type of long.

This was for like things like roofs, technology upgrades, infrastructure, that kind of thing.

This was not for a, you know, paying somebody back for pension contribution.

This was capital expenses.

Okay.

Briefly, Olivia, to new Republicans throw their hat and hats into the ring for the Republican nomination for governor.

Who are they?

Yes.

So we have Darren Bailey who is new, but actually now it's a season.

run for.

>> On the Republican as he or before Republican nomination and assisted obviously in the past by Governor JB Pritzker, who, you know, did kind of help him in framing himself as the most part of the right Republican just a few years ago.

So this time he is running again, he's picked his Lieutenant Governor governor.

Arundel Marr, who is a little bit more of a moderate, some of his for more from Cook County Morris, Darren Bailey is known for being from further south.

So that race could end up being a rematch will see.

But someone who's trying to make it a new race is 10 prosecute.

Who is someone who is known for wire points, which is like conservative publication.

And he, you know, he had his campaign announcement earlier today.

One of my colleagues reported that he didn't take any questions from the media at that announcement by, you know, something that people can support.

Some point his time associated Governor Rauner and the budget crisis at that time.

So I mean, this could end up being, you know, maybe a competitive Republican primary, but obviously it Governor JB Pritzker coming in is the incumbent and the Democrats very blue state has all the advantages here.

They'll have to take some questions about this.

I'm just going So one of the things want to point out is this the governor's race here in Illinois is going to be closely watched nationally.

>> Because what happens in the governor's race, you know, could indicate also what the governors prospects are later on and what decisions he makes in terms of any higher office.

Okay.

So let's talk about the Bears real quick they just talking a good game.

So what I did there about leaving the city for Arlington Heights sure to come to you first on this can can actually pull this off.

What would they say this week?

>> I mean, the open letter from CEO Kevin Warren laid out a plan that the Bears would move from Chicago to Arlington Heights in a property that they've already bought a couple of years ago.

>> And in this letter, he said that they are not counting on state funding previously in the plan that they presented last year that had the backing of Brandon Johnson.

By the way, the mayor had stood right next to Kevin War and wanted this development to be in the city of Chicago.

But in this letter, you know, they said no, no state funding is required.

And previously they had wanted municipal debt and some other assistance.

Now he did leave some room open in terms of negotiations with the state because they're looking for some sort property tax action that would effect the property in Arlington Heights.

But, you know, I think this was as much of sports fan story as it has a public finance uncertainty because the question is, what are they gonna get?

What are they going to get, OK?

Well, we're going to find some other time because we're at a time my thanks to all of you, Olivia Aulander and should saying.

>> As well as Frontier Garcia Hernandez and Rob Heart.

And we're back to wrap things up right after this.

>> Chicago tonight is made possible in part why the Alexander and John Nichols family.

The Pope Brothers Foundation, additional support is provided by.

>> And that is our show for this Friday night.

The Daily Chicago and at W T Tw Dot Com Slash newsletter.

Now for the weekend review.

I'm Brandis Friedman, thank you for watching.

Stay healthy and safe and stay informed and have a great weekend.

>> Okay.

So he said this is as much fan story as it is one about municipal finance.

What, Rob, what do the fans state?

Well, there is traditionalist want to stay in Soldier Field, but this is such easy decision that the Bears that wanted to be in Arlington Heights.

>> Since 1975, soldier field was a stopgap in the 70's.

The current arrangement is a stopgap.

They plopped a modern stadium on top of the colonies to keep the landmark designation.

It's difficult to get into and out of which is ironic for a downtown stadium.

you're a tenant of the Park District you go to Arlington Heights, you own the land, you all want.

The train goes right to front door.

It's what it just seems so simple.

>> And looking to things move along this year that the letter also said close captioning is made possible by Robert.
