Shutdown ends; 'Midway Blitz' winds down

23:58 Nov 14, 2025
About this episode
A partial shutdown of the federal government ended this week when a handful of Democrats, including Illinois Sen. Dick Durbin, broke ranks with their caucus and agreed to pass a continuing budget resolution. And the Trump administration's stepped-up immigration enforcement push in the Chicago area appeared to be winding down, but several federal court cases stemming from that operation are still being litigated. Peter Hancock, Ben Szalinski and Hannah Meisel discuss the week's events.
