Good afternoon! It’s Tuesday, and I have Madonna’s new album stuck in my head. Here’s what you need to know today. 1. A Chicago man deported in ‘error’ has been struggling to adjust since the feds returned him to the U.S. Like thousands of immigrants caught up in the federal government’s Operation Midway Blitz last fall, Jose Enrique Ojeda Duarte spent seven months in detention centers before U.S. officials deported him to Caracas, Venezuela, in April. But his story took a different turn when the feds recently made a rare admission of error, leading to the 31-year-old Venezuelan asylum-seeker’s return to the United States last month. As my colleague Adriana Cardona-Maguigad reports for WBEZ, the government said a clerical mistake led to Ojeda Duarte being wrongfully deported when he had several pending legal cases. Though he said he’s “so happy to be back,” Ojeda Duarte has struggled to adjust after having his life upended and enduring harsh conditions in detention. He’s losing sleep. He’s so afraid of immigration agents arresting him again that he’s reluctant to play outside with his kids. His family said he has retreated from loved ones. “I feel constantly nervous that I will be detained again,” Ojeda Duarte said in Spanish back in his Chicago home, reunited with his partner and two kids. “Sometimes I want to cry, or I get super sad.” The government’s turnaround came after intervention from his attorneys and a determined partner, Leydimar Castillo, 41, who tied together multiple legal battles that ultimately secured his return and release. Castillo stopped working and started living off mutual aid to stay on top of every development on all legal fronts since Ojeda Duarte’s arrest. [ WBEZ ] 2. Illinois prison healthcare remains poor as the state goes 1 year without a long-term medical provider Centurion Health, one of the nation’s largest correctional medicine companies, has been the medical provider for the Illinois Department of Corrections since last July, after IDOC abruptly severed ties with Wexford Health Sources. A year into Centurion’s tenure, people inside Illinois prisons say their medical needs are severely neglected, my colleague Kaitlin Washburn reports. In nearly a dozen emails and letters, incarcerated people and their loved ones shared with the Chicago Sun-Times and WBEZ’s Prisoncast! how their health has deteriorated as they wait for doctor’s appointments, testing and medications. The transition to Centurion has also complicated people’s healthcare and left at least one subcontractor for IDOC’s previous provider unpaid. Charles King is incarcerated at Sheridan Correctional Center and said he has been waiting months for a prostate cancer screening after receiving concerning results in January. “IDOC is delaying and purposely denying me a needed urology prostate cancer screening,” King, 62, wrote in a grievance in April, which he sent to Prisoncast! and the Sun-Times. “Medical personnel ... need to take serious the fact that older men are humans whose lives are not to be finalized because they willfully choose not to give them medical treatment.” Gov. JB Pritzker’s office, Wexford and Centurion did not respond to requests to comment. And despite some lawmakers saying in December they would support legislation to improve prison healthcare, no meaningful proposals have advanced in Springfield. [ Chicago Sun-Times/WBEZ ] 3. Gov. JB Pritzker signed Illinois AI regulations into law, aiming to rein in ‘the tech bros’ Artificial intelligence companies will have to submit to third-party audits in Illinois and develop safety plans to avert potentially catastrophic effects of the burgeoning technology under regulations enacted yesterday that mark the most stringent in the nation, Mitchell Armentrout reports for the Chicago Sun-Times. The companies are required to lay out how they’ll mitigate “catastrophic risk” resulting from AI, including anything that could “materially contribute to the death of, or serious injury to, more than 50 people,” by supplying “expert-level assistance in the creation or release of a chemical, biological, radiological or nuclear weapon,” the law states. Any “critical safety incidents” have to be reported to the state within 72 hours, or within a day if it “poses an imminent risk of death or serious physical injury,” according to the legislation, which includes whistleblower protections for workers. “When managed properly, [AI] can foster tremendous growth, productivity and innovation across the economy and vastly improve our quality of life,” the governor said during a news conference at his West Loop office. “But with that transformative potential comes catastrophic risk, much of which isn’t fully understood yet.” [ Chicago Sun-Times ] 4. A Loop glass desk designed by Frank Gehry is headed to auction A 7-ton glass security desk by the late renowned architect for the Inland Steel Building is now up for auction online, with its consignor looking to get between $100,000 and $200,000 for the work, Chicago Sun-Times architecture columnist Lee Bey reports. Bidding ends July 15. The blocky, 16-piece setup — dubbed “Icehenge” — has been a fixture in the building’s lobby since 2012. Gehry, a longtime fan of the superlative 19-story midcentury tower at 30 W. Monroe St., had a small ownership stake in the skyscraper from 2005 to 2007 and created the station specifically for the ground floor space. “The idea for the desk was sparked by a rogue piece of glass Gehry encountered while developing another project,” the listing says. “The possibility of stacking thick glass slabs at shifting angles, allowing light, texture, and material imperfections to become the focal point, proved irresistible .... Against the restraint of the modernist lobby, the work feels intentionally provocative — Gehry at his finest.” [ Chicago Sun-Times ] 5. These outdoor concerts let you fully embrace Chicago summer There’s something about an outdoor concert in the summer — the sounds, the stars, the opportunity to assemble a righteous picnic. And July is the peak month to savor these shows across Chicago. Taste of Chicago returns this week, bringing even more acts to a densely packed Downtown lineup across stages. Millennium Park and Ravinia are both in full swing, as are stages at Salt Shed and Fitzgeralds. Then there are the patios at unsuspecting venues such as the Museum of Contemporary Art that book jazz and world music on the regular all summer and are not to be overlooked. Whether you’re looking for power pop ballads that will have your crew dancing, or a classical or jazz soundtrack for your summer evening, my WBEZ colleague Sofie Hernandez-Simeonidis compiled a list of concerts — many of them free — that will deliver a magical night outside. You can see the recommendations in the link. [ WBEZ ] Here’s what else is happening Trump renewed his call for the U.S. to control Greenland instead of NATO ally Denmark. [ AP ] Maine Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner faces growing calls to withdraw after he was accused of sexual assault. [ NPR ] Defending World Cup champion Argentina won today’s match against Egypt. [ NPR ] Navy Pier is offering free rides on its Centennial Wheel every Wednesday through Labor Day to make up for a foggy Fourth of July fireworks show. [ Chicago Sun-Times ] Oh, and one more thing … Comedian John Mulaney is bringing his Mister Whatever Tour to Wrigley Field on Saturday, marking the first comedy show hosted at the baseball stadium. “I can’t pretend I ever thought [while] sitting there, ‘I’m going to do stand-up near second base,’” he told WBEZ’s “Say More.” “But it is a full-circle moment in a lot of ways. I mean, to sit there as a kid watching Andre Dawson, Ryan Sandberg, Mark Grace and to now be standing roughly where Mark Grace would be ripping cigarettes during games.” Mulaney answered questions ranging from parking to raising kids in Chicago; you can listen to the full conversation in the link. [ WBEZ ] Tell me something good … What are your favorite summer camp activities or memories? Chris writes: “I only attended day camp one summer and it was at Chicago’s Norwood Park day camp during the Summer of 1974. My favorite activity was a one day field trip we made to Santa’s Village in East Dundee. Santa’s Village is still open to this day!” Feel free to email me, and your response may be included in the newsletter this week.
