Illinois U.S. Representative Robin Kelly has announced she intends to file articles of impeachment against Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem after an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent fatally shot a woman Wednesday in Minneapolis.

A Cook County father is suing Roblox, accusing the popular gaming platform of failing to protect his 9-year-old son from sexual exploitation. Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love says he’s ready to face the Chicago Bears this Saturday after three weeks away to recover from a concussion. Plus, the Carl Sandburg poem “Chicago” has been a beloved local anthem for more than a century, but the poem is making the rounds again after a federal judge read it aloud in a court ruling amid the Trump administration’s deportation campaign in the city.
