A suspect has been arrested after antisemitic vandalism appeared at a Chicago synagogue, school and businesses, Mayor Lightfoot says.
A man later identified as a British citizen was demanding the release of, a citizen of Pakistan convicted of attempting to kill U.S. officers in Afghanistan. The suspect was killed by at least one FBI shooter as three hostages, including a rabbi, escaped unharmed. Another hostage had been released earlier.
"As Chicagoans and as Americans, it is our responsibility to call hate speech and acts out and protect our Jewish brothers and sisters who endure this hatred year after year," Lightfoot said. The Jewish Council on Urban Affairs in Chicago condemned the vandalism and said solidarity against antisemitism is the best way forward.
"As Jews, whether we’re walking down the streets of our neighborhoods or through the doors of our synagogues, freedom and safety for any of us depends on the freedom and safety of all of us," the group said in an emailed statement.
