from The Rundown | Chicago News

The state of Illinois is suing President Donald Trump over the deployment of National Guard troops over the objections of Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker. Mayor Brandon Johnson has signed an executive order establishing “ICE-free zones” after federal agents tear-gassed residents and Chicago cops. Broadview Mayor Katrina Thompson has signed an executive order establishing fixed protesting hours outside of the ICE processing facility in the west suburb. Plus, Actress Elizabeth McGovern is perhaps best known for her role in the British period drama, Downton Abbey. But this month, McGovern is on stage in Chicago in “Ava: The Secret Conversations,” in which McGovern plays Ava Gardner, the mega star from Hollywood’s Golden Age. WBEZ arts reporter Courtney Kueppers recently caught up with McGovern backstage.
