We’ve received reports of ICE enforcement activity in Chicago today. Please know that Chicago police were not involved. My team and I are working closely with City officials. It's important that everyone understands their rights. You can access the Know Your Rights resource guide at https://t.co/hUj8BLsR4f.

The DEA, along with our @TheJusticeDept partners, is assisting @DHSgov and other federal law enforcement partners with their immigration enforcement efforts.

Don’t tell my husband, but I’ve met someone new!

He never hogs the covers, remembers every anniversary and is a great listener.

His only red flag? 🚩He’s not real.

Coming up on the @WBBMNewsradio Noon Business Hour we discuss @replika and the growing trend of AI boyfriends.

This woman might be the biggest koala enthusiast on the planet.

From her koala hat to her koala shoes and koala screensaver on her phone, Kim Dombrowski tells @WBBMNewsradio it’s a dream to see her favorite animal at Brookfield Zoo.

[Rachel Pierson @WBBMRachel]

It’s a LONG line at Brookfield Zoo Chicago as members eagerly wait to be some of the first to see koalas Brumby and Willum.

@WBBMNewsradio

[Rachel Pierson @WBBMRachel]

Check out Brumby enjoying his morning breakfast!

He’s one of two koalas making their debut at Brookfield Zoo Chicago today.

Alright Chicago-area friends, much to my dismay @WBBMNewsradio sent me on a hunt for cicadas. Share your pics/videos and let me know where you’ve spotted nature’s most annoying and sporadic alarm clock. #SendBroods

[Rachel Pierson @WBBMRachel]

Check out my search for cicadas this morning!

@WBBMNewsradio
