CHICAGO (Reuters) - Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel said on Monday he would cut his family vacation in Cuba short to address the fatal shooting of two more black residents by a city police department already under federal investigation over its use of deadly force.
The decision comes after activists stepped up calls for Emanuel's resignation over his handling of policing in the nation's third-largest city. A protest is planned at City Hall on Thursday.
"While Mayor Emanuel has been in constant contact with his staff and Interim Superintendent (John) Escalante, he is cutting his family trip short so that he can continue the ongoing work of restoring accountability and trust in the Chicago Police Department," said the mayor's spokeswoman, Kelley Quinn.
Emanuel is set to arrive back in Chicago on Tuesday afternoon, she said. The mayor's office did not say when he left for Cuba or when he had been scheduled to return.

So decades of America’s international policies are overturned because the president’s buddy from his hood wanted to take a vacation?
Yep, that sounds about right for this affirmative action administration.
Vacation in Cuba. All you need to know about Rahm Emanuel
Rahm should not be allowed back in the U.S. since he fortified his citizenship by serving in a foreign military (IDF).
You beat me to it, this ballerina is a very big fish in a very small bowl.
Dang, Raul Castro could have put him in prison for some trumped up charged and saved Chicago from itself.
Your statement intrigued me and I am trying to get more info on this but am having no luck. Got a link to share?
the only thing to visit in cuba is the prostitutes(children especially) and the cocain. What a dad is Rahm!!!!!
The little commie RAT went on vacation to a Communist country. I’m so old I can remember when this would be grounds for impeachment.
Three dead in one weekend is a slow weekend for Chi-town. Much be the holidays.
The ballerina and his family were taking advantage of the excellent health care services in Cuba.
Aren’t his “kids” getting a little long in the tooth by now?
Cuba? You can’t make this stuff up.
If he is bothered by shootings then why is he in Cuba where Fidel and his brother and other henchman commit mass murder all day every day.
Rahm must be behind on payments....
Birds of a Feather....the commie bastard feels at home with the likes of the Castro brothers, still crying over Che’s grave. “All you need to know” for sure.
To cuba...typical LIB loser who hates Free America and Freedom, in general.
He’s a dual citizen of Israel/USA. Think about it. A foreign national was Obama’s White House Chief of Staff.
Note toward the end of the interview she discusses dining with Castro's cabinet and advisors. Greenspan became uncomfortable.
There used to be much more content on the subject. It's almost like it's been scrubbed.
BTW.......What exec jet flew Rahm there?
Cuba is not part of Obama's foreign banking reporting to the IRS. American politicians will be sending their bagmen to Cuba to fill their banking system. Punish Swiss Banks, but force the new deposits to Cuba!.
Thanks for the info and link. You’re right, looks like it has been scrubbed.
Was cold weekend
