Illinois quick hits: Notices of affected flights; injunction issued over ICE force
Notices of affected flights
Chicago-based United Airlines is promising to let passengers know “as soon as possible” if their flights are affected by the U.S. government’s partial shutdown.
The Federal Aviation Administration announced Wednesday that it would be reducing air traffic by 10% at 40 of the largest U.S. airports.
Tens of thousands of flights have already been delayed or cancelled as currently unpaid transportation workers miss shifts.
Injunction issued over ICE force
A U.S. District Court judge in Chicago has issued a preliminary injunction against federal immigration enforcement agencies’ use-of-force tactics during Operation Midway Blitz.
Judge Sara Ellis made the ruling Thursday at the Dirksen U.S. Courthouse in Chicago.
Chicago credit rating
S&P Global Ratings has revised its general obligation debt outlook for Chicago from stable to negative.
The credit rating company cited the city’s “persistent” budget deficit, significantly weaker reserves and reluctance to fully fund pension contributions in Mayor Brandon Johnson’s budget proposal for 2026.
