Bishop also reviews some of the status around the federal court challenge against the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s use of force in enforcing federal immigration law.
Finally, Bishop shares a story from The Center Square’s Jim Talamonti about the Chicago Teachers Union’s response to a U.S. House committee requesting the union hand over financial audits since 2020. Separately, some union members are suing in court to force the union to release the files.
