Block Club Chicago is an independent, reader-funded nonprofit newsroom covering Chicago neighborhoods. It leans center-left in coverage emphasis, focusing on local community, housing, immigration, and city politics. Its reporting on the Trump administration's immigration enforcement in Chicago has been consistently critical, including joining a lawsuit against federal officials after its reporters were tear-gassed and pepper-balled at an ICE facility in 2025.
