Many Chicagoans falling victim to new wave of crime known as 'bank jackings'. In major cities like Chicago, criminals armed with guns are compelling individuals to unlock their phones, gaining access to banking apps such as Zelle, Venmo, and Cash App. This digital convenience has become a catalyst for a unique form of robbery, where assailants, often masked, force victims to surrender their passcodes or use facial recognition technology. Once inside, these robbers swiftly drain bank accounts, often netting more than $1,000 – a substantial haul compared to traditional wallet theft.

Denver Mayor Mike Johnston was clear Saturday when someone asked during a House1000 town hall meeting what will happen to those who say no to free housing. He said taking 1,000 people off the streets who accept an offer of free housing “allows us to focus much more rigorously on the enforcement of those who don’t (want the housing).” He said those in the grips of addiction will be offered “outpatient treatment and if not, we will get you inpatient treatment.” Johnston made his remarks during a town hall meeting at Evans School in Golden Triangle. The forum answered questions from neighbors of proposed micro community sites at 1199 N. Bannock and 1375 N. Elati.
