I was working in El Salvador when President Nayib Bukele declared a state of exception. In 2022, after a sudden spike in homicides, he suspended due process and sent soldiers into neighborhoods. Overnight, thousands were detained. Many were guilty. Many were not. Bukele’s crackdown raised a simple, brutal question: What is the value of democracy without security? Now, as troops are threatened for deployment in American cities, notably Chicago, we face the inverse: What is the value of security without democracy? Salvadorans saw violence drop, streets reopen, tourism grow. But three years later, the state of exception remains. Security became…

While Trump remained ambiguous — even in his most recent comments Tuesday — about…
The Frankfort Fall Festival packed streets again this year as the Labor Day mainstay brought vendors from across the country with a three-day weekend and near perfect late summer weather. “This is some of the best weather we’ve ever had for the festival,” said announcer John Herder, one of the emcees for Sunday’s parade. The 57th annual event was also on the early side. Herder noted the festival is scheduled to coincide with Labor Day, though as Labor Day is the first Monday in September, it’s not always Sept. 1. This year though, even in late-August, the day held to…
Notre Dame coach Marcus Freeman deemed his team’s 27-24 loss to Miami on Sunday night in South Florida worthy of being a “top-10 fight.” The No. 6 Irish charged back from a 10-point fourth-quarter deficit to tie it but ultimately lost to No. 10 Miami on Carter Davis’ 47-yard field goal with 1 minute, 4 seconds to play. It was an exciting punctuation on college football’s Week 1, during which area teams turned in some good — and not-so-good — performances. Here are some takeaways from their season openers. CJ Carr had some big moments — and some mistakes —…
