Judge dismisses Trump administration lawsuit against Chicago 'sanctuary' laws

CHICAGO (AP) — A judge in Illinois dismissed a Trump administration lawsuit Friday that sought to disrupt limits Chicago imposes on cooperation between federal immigration agents and local police. The lawsuit, filed in February, alleged that so-called sanctuary laws in the nation's third-largest city 'thwart' federal efforts to enforce immigration laws. It argued that local laws run counter to federal laws by restricting 'local governments from sharing immigration information with federal law enforcement officials' and preventing immigration agents from identifying 'individuals who may be subject to removal.' Judge Lindsay Jenkins of the Northern District of Illinois granted the defendants' motion for dismissal. Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson said he was pleased with the decision and the city is safer when police focus on the needs of Chicagoans. 'This ruling affirms what we have long known: that Chicago's Welcoming City Ordinance is lawful and supports public safety. The City cannot be compelled to cooperate with the Trump Administration's reckless and inhumane immigration agenda,' he said in a statement. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security didn't immediately respond to an email seeking comment. Heavily Democratic Chicago has been a sanctuary city for decades and has beefed up its laws several times, including during Trump's first term in 2017. That same year, then-Gov. Bruce Rauner, a Republican, signed more statewide sanctuary protections into law, putting him at odds with his party.

St. Paul adds safety measures to McMurray Field after driver gets onto soccer pitch

A motorist driving their car onto McMurray Field in St. Paul, Minnesota, has prompted the city to install new barriers aimed at keeping vehicles off the turf. "Its scary. It's disturbing and infuriating. People come here to recreate," said Saint Paul Parks and Recreation Director Andy Rodriguez. "It's a high-volume site for soccer, lacrosse and other things. To see something like that happen here, it's disappointing, and we had to take action on it." A video posted to social media in April showed a motorist driving onto the field during a match organized by a TikTok content creator. Witnesses said the car drove around the crowd and appeared to head right towards the group before leaving the arena No one was hurt, and no arrests have been made. The incident prompted the city to create new safety measures around the field. "We put in some new stone blocks and some fencing around the perimeter of McMurray. We heard strongly from residents and the community about the need for safety deterrents to prevent that from ever happening again," said Rodriguez. There are roughly 22 new limestone blocks, and a new fence around the perimeter of the field. The city says it will also be adding a gate. "We were fortunate enough to be able to use the local option sales tax fund to support this project to the tune of $115,000," said Rodriguez. For park visitor Eric Huynh, the new installation is a welcome addition. "They are definitely going to help. Nothing's going to move over these blocks. Definitely a deterrent for people to drive down," said Huynh. Rodriguez said that the city is continuing to assess whether similar safety measures are needed at other parks around Saint Paul.

Michelle Obama portraitist's exhibit with trans Statue of Liberty pulled after pressure from Vance

EXCLUSIVE: Artist Amy Sherald canceled her upcoming exhibit featuring a portrait of a transgender Statue of Liberty at the Smithsonian's National Portrait Gallery after Vice President JD Vance raised concerns the show included woke and divisive content, Fox News Digital has learned. President Donald Trump signed an executive order in March that placed Vance in charge of overseeing the removal of programs or exhibits at Smithsonian museums that "degrade shared American values, divide Americans based on race, or promote programs or ideologies inconsistent with Federal law and policy." Vance said Sherald's "American Sublime" exhibit violated Trump's executive order and was an example of woke and divisive content during a meeting June 9 with the Board of Regents, a source familiar with the meeting told Fox News Digital. "Vice President Vance has been leading the effort to eliminate woke indoctrination from our beloved Smithsonian museums," an administration official said in an email to Fox News Digital. "On top of shepherding the One Big Beautiful Bill through the Senate and helping President Trump navigate international crises, the vice president has demonstrated his ability to get President Trump's priorities across the finish line." Sherald, best known for painting former first lady Michelle Obama's official portrait in 2018, announced Thursday she was pulling her show, "American Sublime," from the Smithsonian's National Portrait Gallery slated for September, The New York Times first reported. Sherald said she was rescinding her work from the exhibition after being told that the National Portrait Gallery had some concerns about featuring the portrait of the transgender Statue of Liberty during the show. The painting, "Trans Forming Liberty," depicts a trans woman with pink hair wearing a blue gown. "These concerns led to discussions about removing the work from the exhibition," Sherald said in a statement, The New York Times first reported Thursday. "While no single person is to blame, it's clear that institutional fear shaped by a broader climate of political hostility toward trans lives played a role. "This painting exists to hold space for someone whose humanity has been politicized and disregarded. I cannot in good conscience comply with a culture of censorship, especially when it targets vulnerable communities. "At a time when transgender people are being legislated against, silenced and endangered across our nation, silence is not an option," Sherald added. "I stand by my work. I stand by my sitters. I stand by the truth that all people deserve to be seen — not only in life, but in art." The Smithsonian did not immediately respond to a request for comment regarding Vance's involvement in the matter. The White House said the removal of Sherald's exhibit is a "principled and necessary step" toward cultivating unity at institutions like the Smithsonian. "The 'Trans Forming Liberty' painting, which sought to reinterpret one of our nation's most sacred symbols through a divisive and ideological lens, fundamentally strayed from the mission and spirit of our national museums," Trump special assistant Lindsey Halligan said in a statement to Fox News Digital. "The Statue of Liberty is not an abstract canvas for political expression. It is a revered and solemn symbol of freedom, inspiration and national unity that defines the American spirit." Other members of the Smithsonian's Board of Regents include the Chief Justice of the United States, John Roberts, along with senators John Boozman, R-Ark.; Catherine Cortez Masto, D-Nev.; and Gary Peters, D-Mich., along with several other House members.
