Chicago has been dealing with a lot these days. The city has been a battleground for the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown and efforts to deploy the National Guard. On today’s show, Kimberly asks WBEZ’s Sasha-Ann Simons about what it’s like to be there now. And, we’ll get into more economic stories from the Windy City you should know about. Plus, we’ll play a game of Half Full/Half Empty!

Here’s everything we talked about today:

• "ICE Is Cracking Down on Chicago. Some Chicagoans Are Fighting Back." from The New York Times
• "Local leaders react to ‘brutal escalation’ of immigration arrests in Little Village, Cicero" from WBEZ
• "Judge’s order blocking National Guard deployment will remain in effect for now, but all eyes on Supreme Court" from WBEZ
• "Coca-Cola taps mini cans and new flavors to spark a fizzling soda market" from Marketplace
