After a visit from the US Homeland Security secretary today, Illinois politicians say they will continue to protect the state’s sanctuary laws. Weiss Memorial Hospital on Chicago’s north side has closed. And, an Illinois appellate court today ruled serious Chicago police discipline cases need to be heard in public.


Plus, WBEZ’s Lauren Frost was at an art gallery in East Garfield Park. She spoke with a group of advocates making quilts for people incarcerated in Illinois prisons.
