The governor posted photos of his audience with the Holy Father on social media Wednesday morning.
Pritzker said the pope’s message of hope, compassion, unity and peace resonates with Illinoisans of all faith traditions.
Broadview to close street outside ICE facility
Broadview officials are closing a street outside the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in the village just over a month after a federal judge ordered ICE to remove a fence blocking the same street.
The judge’s order followed Broadview’s motion saying ICE illegally constructed the fence.
Beach Street is scheduled to be temporarily closed as state and local law enforcement agencies expand the designated protest zone in the area.
ICC to rule on Ameren rates
The Illinois Commerce Commission is expected to rule Wednesday on Ameren Illinois’ proposed $128.8 million gas rate increase.
