JB Pritzker requested authorization of the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s individual assistance for affected counties, as well as disaster loan programs to help Illinoisans after a multiday storm Aug. 16-19 that passed through Boone, Cook, Kane, McHenry and Will counties.</p><p><b>At issue</b>: Trump in October approved major disaster declarations for Alaska, Nebraska, North Dakota and the Leech Lake Band of Ojibwe. In announcing assistance for Alaska and North Dakota, Trump posted on social media that he won Alaska \"BIG\" in 2016, 2020 and 2024. He touted the same for North Dakota. That led Pritzker to call the denial politically motivated — and to try to appeal the decision. The governor reiterated that point Monday, calling the denial \"a politically motivated decision that punishes thousands of Illinois families in a critical moment of need.\"</p><p><a class=\"Link\" href=\"https://newsletters.suntimes.com/t/t-l-wyhdiyk-l-d/\" target=\"_blank\" ><b>READ MORE</b></a></p><hr><p></p><h4> IMMIGRATION ✶</h4><div class=\"Enhancement\" data-align-center> <div class=\"Enhancement-item\" data-crop=\"\"> <figure class=\"Figure\"><a class=\"AnchorLink\" id=\"image-ac0000\" name=\"image-ac0000\"></a> <picture data-crop=\"medium\"> <source type=\"image/webp\" width=\"490\" height=\"275\" data-srcset=\"https://cst.brightspotcdn.com/dims4/default/0bf1395/2147483647/strip/true/crop/6327x3551+0+335/resize/490x275!/format/webp/quality/90/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fchorus-production-cst-web.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com%2Fbrightspot%2F52%2F7e%2Fba8189fd4a228929cae3c232e5dd%2Fbroadviewfaithleaders-111525-12.JPG 1x,https://cst.brightspotcdn.com/dims4/default/c754752/2147483647/strip/true/crop/6327x3551+0+335/resize/980x550!/format/webp/quality/90/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fchorus-production-cst-web.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com%2Fbrightspot%2F52%2F7e%2Fba8189fd4a228929cae3c232e5dd%2Fbroadviewfaithleaders-111525-12.JPG 2x\" data-lazy-load=\"true\" srcset=\"data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHZlcnNpb249IjEuMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIyNzVweCIgd2lkdGg9IjQ5MHB4Ij48L3N2Zz4=\" /> <source width=\"490\" height=\"275\" data-srcset=\"https://cst.brightspotcdn.com/dims4/default/35ae20b/2147483647/strip/true/crop/6327x3551+0+335/resize/490x275!/quality/90/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fchorus-production-cst-web.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com%2Fbrightspot%2F52%2F7e%2Fba8189fd4a228929cae3c232e5dd%2Fbroadviewfaithleaders-111525-12.JPG\" data-lazy-load=\"true\" srcset=\"data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHZlcnNpb249IjEuMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIyNzVweCIgd2lkdGg9IjQ5MHB4Ij48L3N2Zz4=\" /> <img class=\"Image\" alt=\"A member of the clergy is detained during a protest on Beach Street near the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in Broadview, Friday, Nov. 14, 2025. | Ashlee Rezin/Sun-Times\" srcset=\"https://cst.brightspotcdn.com/dims4/default/35ae20b/2147483647/strip/true/crop/6327x3551+0+335/resize/490x275!/quality/90/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fchorus-production-cst-web.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com%2Fbrightspot%2F52%2F7e%2Fba8189fd4a228929cae3c232e5dd%2Fbroadviewfaithleaders-111525-12.JPG 1x,https://cst.brightspotcdn.com/dims4/default/83525de/2147483647/strip/true/crop/6327x3551+0+335/resize/980x550!/quality/90/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fchorus-production-cst-web.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com%2Fbrightspot%2F52%2F7e%2Fba8189fd4a228929cae3c232e5dd%2Fbroadviewfaithleaders-111525-12.JPG 2x\" width=\"490\" height=\"275\" data-src=\"https://cst.brightspotcdn.com/dims4/default/35ae20b/2147483647/strip/true/crop/6327x3551+0+335/resize/490x275!/quality/90/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fchorus-production-cst-web.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com%2Fbrightspot%2F52%2F7e%2Fba8189fd4a228929cae3c232e5dd%2Fbroadviewfaithleaders-111525-12.JPG\" data-lazy-load=\"true\" src=\"data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHZlcnNpb249IjEuMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIyNzVweCIgd2lkdGg9IjQ5MHB4Ij48L3N2Zz4=\" > </picture> <div class=\"Figure-content\"><figcaption class=\"Figure-caption\"><p>The Rev.

They can easily be implemented ... Creating a safer environment for city residents!\" — <i>Jaime Duque</i></p><p>\"I live alongside a roundabout in Lake County ... Before the roundabout, traffic would backup for a 1/4 -1/2 mile while waiting to traverse the intersection during rush hours. Now, traffic of 3-4 cars may accumulate for seconds during the same time spans. The only downside: I have to put my life at risk every day to retrieve my mail from the other side of the road.\" — <i>Mike Lyne</i></p><p>\"Drive the back streets of Rogers Park and get back to us.
