We’ve received reports of ICE enforcement activity in Chicago today. Please know that Chicago police were not involved. My team and I are working closely with City officials. It's important that everyone understands their rights. You can access the Know Your Rights resource guide at chicago.gov.

The DEA, along with our @TheJusticeDept partners, is assisting @DHSgov and other federal law enforcement partners with their immigration enforcement efforts.

We’re following this development closely at @WBBMNewsradio

The Bean is back!

Consider this my formal petition to be a zoo beat reporter at @WBBMNewsradio.

This woman might be the biggest koala enthusiast on the planet. From her koala hat to her koala shoes and koala screensaver on her phone, Kim Dombrowski tells @WBBMNewsradio it’s a dream to see her favorite animal at Brookfield Zoo.

It’s a LONG line at Brookfield Zoo Chicago as members eagerly wait to be some of the first to see koalas Brumby and Willum. @WBBMNewsradio

Check out Brumby enjoying his morning breakfast! He’s one of two koalas making their debut at Brookfield Zoo Chicago today. @WBBMNewsradio

Alright Chicago-area friends, much to my dismay @WBBMNewsradio sent me on a hunt for cicadas. Share your pics/videos and let me know where you’ve spotted nature’s most annoying and sporadic alarm clock. #SendBroods

Check out my search for cicadas this morning! @WBBMNewsradio
