Pritzker and calls for federal help. West Side Shooting Update: Police say three teens were shot at a North Lawndale gathering near S. Christiana Ave.; detectives are investigating and no gunman description was released. Another North Lawndale Incident: Authorities also reported additional teen victims from a separate Lawndale shooting at a large gathering. Obama Presidential Center Spotlight: The Obamas dedicated the new Chicago presidential center over the weekend, pitching it as a civic hub for democracy and community service while drawing major national attention. Housing Market Oversight: Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul announced a $7 million settlement tied to an antitrust case alleging rent-setting software helped landlords keep prices higher. Election Integrity Warning: An Illinois congressman warned DHS against placing immigration enforcement near polling sites, saying it could chill lawful voting. State Policy Watch: Utah joined Illinois and others with safeguards for children featured in social media content, requiring parent compensation and deletion pathways.
