“I rise today to proudly honor the Chicago city champs, the members of the Farragut Career Academy 16-inch softball team from my district. At a time when ICE raids swept through our neighborhoods while DHS carried out Operation Midway Blitz, these remarkable young people brought a ray of hope and something truly worth celebrating to Little Village. They persevered through these challenges, remained focused, and put in the hard work required to become champions.
