75 protest in Melrose Park after a Mexican father was shot by an immigration officer during a traffic stop in Franklin Park.

On September 16, about 75 people marched in Melrose Park to protest the fatal shooting of a Mexican father by an immigration officer during a traffic stop in Franklin Park, part of a growing grassroots movement opposing federal immigration enforcement. The demonstration, organized by the People's Patrol, reflects increasing community resistance to deportation efforts amid heightened national attention on immigration policy. The event is one of several local developments highlighted in a broader media segment covering Native land reclamation, art honoring incarcerated individuals, prison reentry programs, political discourse, food pricing, divorce trends, and infrastructure projects.
