From a 5-year-old boy killed inside a home to a SWAT standoff after a West Side murder, gunmen left 30 shot and 3 dead this weekend across Chicago.
If those numbers hold, it’ll be the second-best performance for the same weekend since 2015.

Speaker at the DNC’s Summer Meeting: “Migrant crime and carjackings are things that don’t matter to many Americans.”
Uhhh I’m pretty sure most people don’t want to be carjacked or attacked by an illegal alien.

Illinois Bans Ticketing or Fining Students in Schools
Effective immediately, a new Illinois law, stemming from Senate Bill 1519,
prohibits any person from issuing monetary fines, fees, tickets, or citations to students for municipal code violations occurring on school grounds or on a school bus. This legislation closes a loophole in a 2015 law that banned schools from issuing fines directly but did not prevent police from ticketing students for the same infractions, such as truancy, vaping, and disorderly conduct.
Background and motivations
Key provisions and requirements
The new law establishes an immediate ban on issuing fines or tickets for municipal code violations on school property or during school hours. It also mandates that by July 1, 2026, school districts with a School Resource Officer (SRO) must have a formal agreement with local law enforcement that includes prohibiting SROs from issuing tickets on school property. Additionally, starting in the 2027-2028 school year, districts are required to report data on law enforcement referrals annually to the Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE).
What the law does not do
The legislation does not prohibit schools from contacting law enforcement when required by law for criminal activity or safety threats. It also does not affect schools’ ability to use other disciplinary measures under the Illinois School Code or require restitution for damaged property.
Transition to alternative practices
The Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE) is advocating for alternative, non-punitive disciplinary methods, including trauma-informed practices and behavioral interventions.
