Summary
Chicago’s violent weekend left seven dead and scores injured as shootings erupted across the city, including a chilling incident where an SUV opened fire on a crowd, leaving twelve wounded. Amid the chaos, former President Trump called for federal intervention, claiming he could swiftly restore order — a move Governor Pritzker firmly resisted, citing past studies showing the National Guard hasn’t meaningfully curbed crime.

Meanwhile, Friday’s grand opening of the Obama Presidential Center drew global attention and celebrity appearances — a stark contrast to Trump’s absence and the city’s current turmoil.
