CHICAGO - An infamous New York City bakery is bringing its sweet, quirky, and over-the-top treats to Chicago next week. Milk Bar is setting up shop next Saturday, Feb. 8, in the Fulton Market. The shop, a partnership with Boka Restaurant Group, will be located at 200 N. Green St., on the first floor of The Hoxton, according to a news release.

An iconic New York City-based pizzeria known for its Sicilian squares and Neapolitan-style pies has expanded to Chicago. Prince Street Pizza held a grand opening for its location in the West Loop, 939 W.

Bathhouse was issued a construction permit for a new, 3-story building in Chicago’s West Loop, designed by Gensler. This permit gives the client and contractors permission to break ground and begin construction.

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson has been asked to appear before Congress next month to discuss the city’s status as a sanctuary city.

Details of planned immigration raids are unclear, but they would be the opening step in the president-elect’s goal of overseeing the largest deportation program in history.

Following President Donald Trump's return to office on January 20 with a vow to crack down on illegal immigrants, immigration enforcement operations have started to sweep through major cities in the United States.

Bove previously issued a memo ordering federal prosecutors to investigate officials from sanctuary jurisdictions if they suspect interference with the deportation raids.

In a display of force aimed at increasing arrests and generating publicity, the administration targeted the nation’s largest city, where sanctuary policies limit cooperation with ICE.

In letters sent to the Democratic mayors of Boston, Chicago, Denver and New York City on Monday, Comer requested documents and communications related to these cities' sanctuary policies.

On Monday, Mayor Brandon Johnson received a letter from Washington, D.C., that states, in summary, that Chicago and other cities like it — notably Denver, New York and Boston, all of which hold sanctuary city status like Chicago — are being investigated by the U.S. House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.

DHS Secretary Noem rode alongside federal agents targeting a high-profile Venezuelan gang member during immigration enforcement in the Bronx.

That’s the lowest approval rating on record for a Windy City mayor. Now residents are exploring how they might change state law to recall Johnson. As in Chicago, crime was overwhelmingly the most important issue in New York’s 2021 mayoral election.
