While Halloween is typically associated with fun and festivities, a more somber event unfolded in Chicago as immigration agents clashed with residents over the weekend. The state’s governor had called for a pause in the federal immigration crackdown, citing concerns for children’s safety during the Halloween period. This clash highlighted the ongoing tensions surrounding immigration enforcement and the impact it has on communities across the country. (NY Times)
