Today, Chicago Congressman Mike Quigley (IL-05) released the following statement on the cross burning in Grant Park:
"Ten days before Juneteenth, and in the hometown of Emmett Till, someone burned a cross. This is a despicable act of violence.

Today, Chicago Congressman Mike Quigley (IL-05) released the following statement on Trump’s deployment of ICE agents to O’Hare International Airport, amidst Republican refusals to fund TSA:
“I don’t trust ICE in our airports any more than I did on the streets of Chicago. They do not have the training to perform TSA’s functions, and they are far more likely to cause fear than to reassure travelers of their safety. This decision does nothing to allay flyers' security concerns or reduce airport waiting times.
