Today’s important indictment is a milestone for our communities and Chicago’s history. Justice was served for LaQuan McDonald and his family. This verdict represents a step in the right direction for our city’s accountability. #VanDykeTrial

Wishbone Restaurant will close its doors on October 14, and then relocate a half mile east to 161 N. Jefferson. Sad to see them leave their home of 27 years, but glad to see them stay in the West Loop! https://t.co/G8h74ZrbxX
Prayers for those who lost so much on 9/11. Continued gratitude for the first responders that helped us get through the madness. And sincere support for those whom continue to serve our country. #911Anniversary
Big news about @ChicagosMayor ‘s announcement not to seek re-election. I’ve known @RahmEmanuel for two decades, and it has been a pleasure working alongside him for the past two terms as our city’s mayor. I wish him & Amy the best as they move on to their next endeavors in May.
Ecstatic to honor the legendary Inez Loredo with a Street naming on 18th St & Morgan. Inez and I go way back as community organizers together, so this street renaming is especially personal for me. Congrats to the Loredo family. #InezLoredo#CommunityActivist#Pilsen
We are honored to have more than 100 newly trained men and women @Chicago_Police officers patrol communities throughout our city. Thank you, @ChicagosMayor for taking steps towards your goal of hiring 1000 officers who reflect the communities they serve.
#OneSummerChicago offers more than a paycheck. It provides job training and positive role models that teach the importance of civic engagement. Great to welcome @BarackObama to meet @1summerchicago students learning to code and share his advice on becoming leaders of tomorrow.
Our #CPD is not suppose to take part in any effort that collaborates w/ #ICE & Homeland Security. Not to mention, it’s a waste of our resources to assign 25 cops to monitor counterfeit t-shirts & hats all day. We have bigger fish to fry (ie. drug dealers & gang bangers). #pilsen
Ald. Solis is accusing police of violating the Welcoming City Ordinance in a way that led to the arrest, detention and possible deportation of an undocumented mother of three, @fspielman reports. https://t.co/FInrDY6A1u
