The city has begun removing some tents this week from a controversial Northwest Side homeless encampment that has divided neighbors, city officials and homeless advocates on the best path forward for the people who have set up camp along Foster Avenue. The future of the roughly 20 people in the Gompers Park encampment remains uncertain after a planned “accelerated moving event” — a consolidated process where case managers help people find housing, complete documentation and choose furniture — was delayed from Feb. 24 to March 5 because of a possible freeze to federal funds, city officials said. The city delayed the…
Ugandan opposition figure Kizza Besigye was charged with treason on Friday in an escalation of legal troubles stemming from allegations he plotted to remove the country’s long-time leader by force.

A court battle is set to resume Friday over the Trump administration’s drastic cuts in medical research funding that many scientists say will endanger patients and delay new lifesaving discoveries. A federal judge in Massachusetts temporarily blocked the cuts from taking effect earlier this month in response to separate lawsuits filed by a group of 22 states plus organizations representing universities, hospitals and research institutions nationwide. The new National Institutes of Health policy would strip research groups of hundreds of millions of dollars to cover so-called indirect expenses of studying Alzheimer’s, cancer, heart disease and a host of other illnesses…

Hundreds of vacant lots in Chicago, many in South and West side neighborhoods such as Englewood and North Lawndale, have been put on the market in the largest such land sale the city has seen in recent years. The lots, some of which were in poor condition, have been listed for sale as part of bankruptcy proceedings involving a pair of property owners who amassed $15 million in unpaid fines on the land parcels, and who city lawyers have deemed Chicago’s “worst landowner.” Community advocates say it’s a chance to get the properties into the hands of fresh owners who…
Republican senators pushed a $340 billion budget framework to passage early Friday, chugging through an all-night session and Democratic opposition in a step toward unleashing money the Trump administration says it needs for mass deportations and border security that top their agenda. The hours-long “vote-a-rama” rambled along in a dreaded but crucial part of the budget process, as senators considered one amendment after another, largely from Democrats trying to halt it. But Republicans used their majority power to muscle the package to approval on a largely party-line vote, 52-48, with all Democrats and one GOP senator opposing it. “What we’re…

When they played “O Canada” for the second time, there were no American fans left in the arena to boo. Instead, the Canadian team stood at the blue line, arm in arm, player and coach, wearing their championship hats while the maple leaf flag was lowered behind the 4 Nations Face-Off trophy and the national anthem reverberated across the Americans’ home ice. The fans who remained, many of them in their red Team Canada jerseys, sang along. Connor McDavid scored at 8:18 of overtime to give Canada a 3-2 victory over the United States on Thursday night as the North…
Robin Moore initially had one purpose: learn more about the life of her grandfather Reginald Moore. She remembered him as a very loving and hardworking person, but details surrounding his early life remained a family mystery — one that she was determined to uncover. She never expected that mission to take her to a grassy field in a remote part of Canada, where several of her ancestors are buried. Since 2018, Moore — a native of Park Manor on Chicago’s South Side — has spent much of her free time combing through archival records and building a family tree to…
