Good morning, Fort Wayne.

Several families gathered at Humane Fort Wayne on Friday for a 'Poodle-Palooza' event and adopted all five poodles; some traveled from afar (even booking hotels) to be first in line.

Local and state officials are pushing to bring a Chicago Bears stadium to Indiana and will review proposals in upcoming meetings.

The effort, which could shape regional sports and boost the economy, remains a key focus for community development.

Today, city leaders met at the Grand Wayne Center with over 500 residents to discuss immigration enforcement; Mayor Sharon Tucker, Fire Chief Eric Lahey, Police Chief PJ Smith and attorney Jerri Mead stressed local resources will focus on resident safety (officers do not check immigration status during routine work).
