Chicago Police release plan for weekend, consider closing off downtown: report
Fox News
Chicago’s Police Department reportedly is telling its commanders to familiarize themselves with a plan to shut down the city’s central business district ahead of potential unrest this weekend.
"In the event of civil unrest and looting, area deputy chiefs and commanders should identify mobilization points," the memo reportedly reads, noting that brass should designate special patrols to retail corridors.
Another part of the memo, titled "Central Business District Emergency Closure Procedures", explains how the Loop and Magnificent Mile areas could be closed, WLS reports, similar to what was done during rioting and looting that occurred in 2020. The station says commanders are being told to review the shutdown plan.
