Understandable, but note that decisions like that are part of the adminstration's objectives. This isn't a Chicago policy; it's a federal targeting of Chicago for political reasons.
I don't need to make whatever is going on between Chicago and Trump my personal problem.
I understand a similar rational was often used in the later days of Weimar Republic.
Totally fair.
Before I moved to Chicago I used to go to RSNA for work. If I didn't live in Chicago already I wouldn't be traveling here.
