Thousands join Chicago immigrant rights rally march
In Chicago a large turnout estimated around 50,000 to 10,000 by officials gathered from Grant Park through downtown in a peaceful protest calling for a moratorium on deportations while Congress debates immigration reform. Organizers from Centro Sin Fronteras and other groups urged families not be split and cited potential lifelong bans on returns for deported immigrants. A counter event by Illinois Minuteman Civil Defense Corps pressed for tougher enforcement and document checks.

Road up to Oakland Street gains three lanes in each direction
IDOT plans a September 2007 completion for road work expanding the path to three lanes per direction, with a reconstruct and widen bridge to improve flow. Night work will limit public impact. Patching and resurfacing near U.S. 51 and Illinois 13 proceed, while city crews overhaul nearly 70 streets with oil and chip replaced by asphalt. The three targeted reconstructions and a $7.25 million bond funded project drive the schedule.
