- GIANNO CALDWELL: Four years after my brother’s murder, I’m marching for justice
Gianno Caldwell, whose brother Christian was murdered four years ago in Chicago, is marching for justice, blaming soft-on-crime policies for the city's rising violence. The article cites a 6% increase in Chicago homicides in 2026 compared to 2025 and criticizes the SAFE-T Act for eliminating cash bail, which it claims has worsened crime. President Donald Trump is highlighted for leading a federal crime surge operation that reduced violence in cities like D.C. and Memphis.
