Lori Lightfoot is leaving her successor with major crime reports at new highs and no clear roadmap to making Chicago safer.

A federal judge in Chicago sentenced the ringleader of a sprawling mail and identity theft operation to nine years in prison.

A twice-convicted gun offender has been sentenced to ten years for shooting a man in October 2021 while on bail for yet another gun case, plus two years for escaping from electronic monitoring.

Stunt-driving car “sideshows” aren’t just a Chicago problem. Officials in Nashville and Las Vegas took unusual steps recently to fight the trend by charging an organizer with inciting riots and installing tire-shredding rumble strips in the middle of an intersection.

A Chicago man has been sentenced to four years for illegal gun possession and another four years for trying to flush a second gun that cops didn’t know about down the toilet of his Chicago Police Department holding cell.
