People dance in celebration of Mexican Independence Day on South Michigan Avenue, Sept. 16, 2022, in Chicago.
“Stop sticks” or tire deflation devices were planned for use for the rest of the weekend to diminish the problems car caravans created that made their way into the city, officials said at the conference, which also included Chicago Police Superintendent David Brown and other officers.Last night our cultural pride was on display, said Lightfoot. “Chicago is home to one of the largest Mexican communities in the United States and proudly so.
Caravans, drag racing and traffic snarls made it hard for some to get to work. “Some are just plain scared,” to be driving near the festivities, Lightfoot said. A 32-year-old man was involved in a fight with another man on the 100 block of South Wacker Drive at about 1:08 a.m. Saturday when a person in a red car fired shots and hit him in the back, police said. The man was taken to Northwestern Memorial Hospital, where he was listed in good condition.
