Federal Agents Moving In, Aldi Loses Self-Checkout, and Bears Delusion Begins

For the last few weeks, the Trump administration has increased threats to send National Guard Troops to Chicago. Now we are getting word that the administration has notified the Naval Station Great Lakes, an hour north of Chicago, that it will serve as a command station for forthcoming ICE operations during Mexican Independence Day celebrations. Axios Chicago Reporters Monica Eng and Justin Kaufmann are here with the latest updates. Plus, we are discussing the end of self-checkout at local ALDIs, Illinois’ new sports betting taxes, and the start of the Bears’ season.   Migra Watch training in Pilsen this Sunday.
