Tensions between President Donald Trump and mayor Brandon Johnson are rising.
Meanwhile, the Chicago police meeting towards the goals of the decree approval of the approval of the general prosecutors in their case.
The Senator Emile Jones, the third federal corruption trial here with all of this and more lights.
Politics team head, Sharon Burg.
Welcome to your return.
a team.
So let's start with this and the difficult conversation from Mayor Johnson to the president today.
>> Attempting to impose the year.
To break the spirit of workers to hold a conversation.
This terrorism.
We will not negotiate with tears.
>> Of course, this was at a press conference in the city hall, the mayor talks about the president's efforts to strip federal funding from cities such as Chicago with laws on books to protect immigrants who have no documents, saying that this is up to terrorism.
Heather, did the mayor describe the president as a terrorist?
He did not do so, but he made it clear that this finds that it is inappropriate that the president has linked nearly $ 4 billion in the city's federal assistance while protecting the city to illegal immigrants.
Basically what Trump has been saying since he took office during his second term is that if we can, if the city continues to protect immigrants who are not documented.
>> Chicago police officers are prevented from helping federal immigration agents who will lose this money.
He says it is a clear and clear feeling of blackmail.
>> Well.
So let's continue to do so because it has been taken since 2022. To reach this point.
But the trial of corruption in the state, Sen Emile Jones III, has moved quickly since it started a week ago.
What is the latest?
She has.
This was not the epic length of Madijan, which I think, as you know, certainly may have been journalists and allies worried that the prosecutors had rested their case today.
The defense began to take.
>> Their arguments in court, we discovered today that Senator Jones will witness his defense.
In fact, this certificate began for an hour or 2 this day before the judge broke this day.
As you know, defense lawyers make some table in an attempt to go to his life story.
As you know, people know the jury a little more than him, and how it should be in its place today.
It is clear that he comes from a political family with his father, former Senate Speaker.
But the prosecutors were really trying to expel their points in their last moments.
As you know, saying that the way Jones represented in an interview with FBI agents did not correspond to the information recorded on a wire by the former CEO of the Red Light Camera Company that she knows, Jones is concerned with requesting the bride to request a job with a trainee instead.
As you know, he spoke with the FBI, as you know, at the same day, like Raid, on offices, as you know, in Capitol, the state or Senator Martin Sandoval.
Yes, he walked somewhat.
He said that he said a slow picnic to learn, as you know, a kind of check to a soft pedal.
I must say what the actual conversations you know, and they participate in worship anyway.
This is his chance to provide a defense.
It is always a great danger to taking a position in your defense.
It takes this opportunity.
Yes, well, it's a kind of thing you think.
One of the big issues in many cases of corruption is the allegations themselves, but it is lying to the federalists who have been accused of doing it.
So I think it could be an essential opportunity from the defense lawyer you know, a point of view here to try to explain some of this.
>> Heather, a city council, is expected to approve a $ 32 million settlement tomorrow that would exhaust the budget for the entire police misconduct in the city for this year.
I asked the mayor about his ideas about that day.
>> We inherited.
Completely chaos.
Many of these cases were indicating an event, as you know, decades ago.
>> So, or any sign that the city will take an approach to resolving these lawsuits?
Well, I asked the mayor that and postponed it to the lawyer of the Foundation, Marie Richardson, Lori, who said, as you know, they look, when we look at all these cases and that we created a new section specifically to look at cases that included 3 Chicago police officers, a former police officer in the former Chicago in uninterrupted branch records.
This is the former leader John Burg.
Former detector Ronaldo Guevara and former Sergeant Ronald Watts.
She said that it is not really possible to make a settlement for all these lawsuits that reach more than 200 because all of these prosecutors represent a different defense lawyer.
Now, I talked to some defense lawyers who say, well, we can play well together.
Our goal is to solve this for our customers.
It is clear that the city does not see that the option, which means that the city will actually have to deal with these cases with the issue according to the issue, and ultimately restrictions to taxpayers, it is really the type you know, astronomically.
now.
Albert Gilbert Veligas, Albert Gilbert Veligas, will try to use a parliamentary maneuver to place the Johnson administration immediately and forced them to return to the city council for service.
The answer to questions about this is in fact the best strategy that often includes paying millions of dollars to private lawyers to defend these officers to fight those misconduct records, whether in any place, this will be an open question when you have to imagine the perspective of lawyers who represent all of these, as you know, victims of alleged torture.
>> You know, they should look at this and say whether the city will go by resolving an issue. Will any decision be delayed, what kind of compensation made to my customers?
So, you know that the idea that this must be dealt with one by one, and certainly, as you know, these people, are in their interest to play well and their interests.
One must imagine in terms of trying to have a quick accuracy of these cases that have already continued for decades.
Many Nick, as she faces a little public transit from the same financial crisis.
Although the legislative session in Springfield is close to the Regional Transport Authority.
>> The summit of solutions was held in the city center.
I did anything.
What came from that?
Well, we do not necessarily have a final solution to a final solution.
But know that there is a lot of conversation about this financial shelf, which is looming on the horizon of $ 771 million for the three transportation systems in the region.
This >> He was appointed to hit next year.
When Covid relief money is running out.
It was interesting to have two leaders of some peer agencies, one of the agencies supervised by the Willot Bay area in Washington, DC, who faced many similar structural problems that CTA, Metra, PACE and RTA deal with.
There was a lot of conversation about the fact that, as you know, the end of the legislative session is close quickly.
And if they do not have a decision for this financial crisis, they will have to start some procedures delegated legally for a kind of playing as they are these discounts, and what is this fare, all these different things, what they may be, what is the effect on passengers, so it seems that there is an increasing sense of urgency with the people who know it, from the people in the room,
Now, as you know, we hear some confidence from the transit leaders that their message was going through and it was interesting, as you know, many of this.
They talked about the impact of all these different cuts, the things they can do with additional financing, CTA, the president and the leaders, and have come out on their way to say today one of the things we need to talk about his rights, as you know, Chicago as you know, in fact a very separated city because of the re -arrangement and racist factors better.
So it was interesting to hear it made the stadium, not just to the service, and not as you know, the economic impact of crossing on the region, but you say, as you know, to political leaders and preachers of crossing in the room, this is a way to address some errors in the past.
All right, Heather, update the police approval decree on Friday, an independent observer submitting his last report.
I think the eleventh >> CPD made some progress.
This is correct.
So the last report showed that CPD was just 9 % compliance, and full compliance with the port there.
Now when compliance with 16 %.
>> This is the largest jump between 6 months since the approval decree entered 6 years ago.
Now, the change was not really concentrated in the field of consensus, the approval decree that governs the use of force.
A lot of this type of requirement means that the police administration has several ways to march every time the officers use force and are now doing a full job.
According to the screens.
>> Now, Larry Sinling, the supervisor, says that this is a reflection of the difficulty of his work since he took office nearly a year and a half to determine the priorities of submitting the approval decree, right?
Not rushing through it.
>> However, 6 years have passed, and there are many questions about whether the police administration will get this type of full compliance because I as I reported before the arrival agreement really requires the restructuring of the police department, and this is a large elevator and will require the completion of a continuous study on the publishing place.
There should be a system that would suspend science officers who suffer from many lawsuits.
Not to mention this and they should do better to make sure that the officers who participate in this behavior or even make mistakes either to be re -trained or disciplined, and we hope in hope
