A Chicago business owner with deep roots in the community died in ICE custody after being denied critical medical care for his worsening diabetes, sparking outrage over systemic failures in detention facilities. Surveillance shows guards found him gasping and blue minutes after checking on him — he died within an hour. His family blames facility staff for ignoring his deteriorating health and canceling a vital cardiology consult. This tragedy is part of a disturbing national trend: at least 45 deaths in ICE custody since Trump’s second term, half in private facilities. A six-month gap in offsite medical billing — caused by the VA’s abrupt exit — may have left detainees without timely care, raising alarms among advocates and attorneys.

Two best friends, Nathalie Del Valle and Maya Matta, turned their dream into reality with Mikono, Chicago’s first Latina-owned Greek frozen yogurt shop, now open in Pilsen after months of pop-ups and apartment sales. Working full-time jobs and living together, the 23-year-old Google colleagues built a brand around guilt-free, tropical-flavored froyo made with family recipes from Miami—like guava honey and mango sauce—sourced from their grandmother’s farm. Operating out of the Latina Sweat Project kitchen, they’ve poured nearly $15K into custom equipment and are already drawing lines around the block. Their goal? To create a community hub, or “third space,” in Lincoln Park later this fall, proving that passion, perseverance, and personal heritage can turn a big idea into a booming business.
