In world and national news…

CHICAGO (AP) — The head of Chicago’s legal office says the city will follow up on a newly lawsuit with a request to a federal judge to halt to a Trump administration immigration policy of withholding certain public safety grants from so-called sanctuary cities. Edward Siskel spoke to reporters Monday at U.S. District Court in Chicago just after the 46-page suit was filed. He says Trump policies are “breeding a culture and a climate of fear.”

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — North Korea has defiantly responded to the tough new sanctions imposed by the U.N. following its two intercontinental ballistic missile tests. The North said Monday that it will take an unspecified “resolute action of justice” and will never place its nuclear program on the negotiating table as long as U.S. hostility against Pyongyang persists. South Korea said the North will face stronger sanctions if it doesn’t stop its nuclear and missile provocations.

Gender experts say the camp’s rapid growth reflects what they’re seeing in gender clinics around the country: an increasing number of kids coming out as transgender at young ages.
