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

A person is in custody in Chicago following a cross burning in Grant Park, where Barack Obama gave a 2008 speech. A 21-year-old college student claimed responsibility, stating it was a protest against Donald Trump and Christian nationalists, not a racist act, though cross burnings are historically linked to hate groups like the KKK.
