📰 News we're reading

• 'Right thing to do' or 'feel-good' PR? Suburbs split on whether ICE bans on municipal property actually work. (chicagotribune.com) — Elgin is highlighted among suburbs that limited use of city property for federal immigration enforcement, opting for a resolution that documents alleged infractions rather than a binding ordinance. The story weighs whether such measures truly protect residents or mainly send a symbolic message, drawing on perspectives from local officials, a state lawmaker, and legal experts.
