What It Takes to Sue ICE. Plus, Cash Mobs!
We’ve seen ICE smash car windows, ram into cars, and get aggressive when making arrests. Who pays for the damages? Chuck Slane, owner and attorney at TSR Injury Law, talks about the complicated, time-consuming way to sue ICE, and why he thinks it’s worth it. Racket co-owner and City Cast contributor Em Cassel tells us how cash mobs are sustaining Lake Street businesses. Plus, the coolest club in town is mealpacking at Second Harvest Heartland. According to events manager Anne Laskey, you can even pick the music!
