Chicago alderman sounds alarm on migrant surge ahead of DNC: 'We can't handle any more'
Chicago alderman Anthony Napolitano joined 'Fox & Friends First' to discuss why he believes the Windy City has 'tapped out' of the migrant crisis as it braces for 25,000 more before the Democratic National Convention.
A group of brazen thieves took to the streets of Chicago and ransacked luxury retailer Prada as The Windy City prepares for the Democratic National Convention (DNC) just over a week away.
According to the Chicago Police Department, a group of three to four offenders shattered the front glass door of the high-end retailer at 5:30 a.m. local time on Saturday.
Photos from FOX 32 showed the display window and cases shattered.
Police said that the group sped off in a white SUV and authorities are still searching for them.
