- Mayor Johnson urges parents to act as city prepares for more potential teen gatherings
Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson urged parents to prevent unauthorized teen gatherings as the city blocked access to Rainbow Beach following reports of planned large meetups. The call comes after two previous teen events led to over 50 arrests and injuries to police officers, with President Donald Trump criticizing local leaders. Faith and youth leaders are organizing alternative events to deter teen attendance.
