A person is in custody in a Chicago cross burning investigation, police say

A person is in custody in Chicago after a cross was burned in Grant Park, a site historically significant to Barack Obama's 2008 election. A 21-year-old man claimed responsibility, stating the act was a protest against Donald Trump and Christian nationalists, not a racist statement, but cross burnings are historically linked to hate symbols like the Ku Klux Klan.
