Curfew Debate, Trump Targets Chicago, and Concerts to Watch

After hours of debate, a City Council committee delayed a vote on an ordinance that would allow public safety leaders to declare snap curfews in response to large teen gatherings downtown. Block Club’s Melody Mercado was there, and she tells executive producer Simone Alicea and Axios Chicago’s Carrie Shepherd what happened. They also discuss some of the president’s latest executive orders, questions that neighbors have about a shooting in West Loop, struggles in arts funding, and some concerts they’re looking forward to (hello, Cowboy Carter).
