Chicago

Chicago is one of the largest cities in the United States and has recently been in the news for several reasons. The city hosted the women's marathon where Ruth Chepngetich set a world record despite being banned for doping, highlighting Chicago’s role as a significant venue for international sports events. Additionally, Chicago faced controversy when Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents used tear gas outside an elementary school, causing distress among students and teachers in already underfunded schools, raising concerns about the militarization of urban areas by federal agencies. These recent developments underscore Chicago's ongoing challenges with balancing public safety, education funding, and its status as a hub for major sporting events.
