CHICAGO (AP) – Authorities are reporting the arrest of six people outside the home of Chicago’s mayor, where protesting has been limited through enforcement of an ordinance barring protests in residential areas. Four women and two men were taken in custody and charged with misdemeanor counts of residential picketing for their actions late Saturday in front of Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s home. Authorities said Sunday the six live in New York, Washington, Arkansas and Pennsylvania and have been released. The Chicago Sun-Times reports a woman connected to those arrested said the protesters were with the “Jesus Matters Movement.” The woman said they were picketing Lightfoot’s home because the mayor is a liberal and liberals were the reason the nation was in decline.
