Broadview Protesters Plead Not Guilty, Government Shutdown Ends, and Where To Donate This Weekend
Six people arrested while protesting outside the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Broadview processing facility were in federal court this week. They have all pleaded not guilty to federal conspiracy charges. We are discussing these and other ongoing legal challenges with The Trace’s Rita Oceguera and Suntimes’ Elvia Malagon. Plus, what’s next for the hotly debated affordable healthcare subsidies now that the government shutdown is over; why West Garfield Park neighbors are demanding more investment; and where can we find toy, food, and clothes drives this weekend?
Good News: The Holiday Pantry Bag, Whistle Assembly Event, Winter Item Drive, and Holiday Toy Drive; Christmas Around the World and Holidays of Light
