South Main Mercado in Rockford expanded this year.
This weekend's festivities took place on South Main Street between Cedar and Morgan Streets. “The idea," said Cat Valdez Doyle, the organizing committee chair for the event, "is to have a space, a market to celebrate Latino culture and music, food, family coming together, which is so much of what our identity is.” (Photo credit: Maria Gardner Lara)

A resolution to declare DeKalb County a non-sanctuary county failed in a tie vote earlier this month after a strong showing of opposition from community members aired their concerns.

The resolution which would have declared DeKalb County a non-sanctuary county offers no action such as imposing a penalty or having any tax implications, and some argue it is sloppily written.

The cause of the fire is unknown and city officials say the building is uninhabitable:

The Union Pacific Railroad has rescheduled the temporary closure of six crossings in DeKalb to the weekend and has shortened the closure period.

The closure of the crossings at 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 6th, 7th and 10th Street will now begin the morning of Sunday, May 26. It is anticipated the maintenance work at the crossings will be completed the same day.

The crossing at Lincoln Highway and Fourth Street will remain open during the work.

While the City is making the community aware of the closures, this is not a municipal project. The City has no authority over railroad maintenance projects.
