Bailey to stay in governor’s race
Republican candidate Darren Bailey has decided to stay in the race for Illinois governor.
In a video posted on social media platforms Monday afternoon, Bailey said he and his wife Cindy decided to continue fighting for every family trying to make it in a state he said has lost its way.
Bailey said President Donald Trump called and encouraged him to keep fighting, and Bailey said that is what he would do.
Mexican national charged in shooting

DHS said in a statement that the suspect was in the country illegally and had previous convictions for aggravated unlawful use of a weapon/vehicle and felony possession of a weapon.
According to federal officials, nine people were arrested Saturday after attackers attempted to ram federal vehicles and threw bricks and paint cans at Border Patrol agents in Chicago’s Little Village neighborhood.
