There have been several antisemitic hate crimes against the Jewish community in Chicago in recent weeks.
Last week, police arrested Shahid Hussain, 39, who they say went on an antisemitic crime spree, spray-painting swastikas on two synagogues and two high schools in Chicago’s West Rogers Park on Jan. 30th.
