    Here’s a summary of the Chicago Tribune-reported story about Chicago’s snowplow naming contest from February 23, 2026 (based on multiple news sources covering the same event):

    Chicago’s fourth annual “You Name a Snowplow” contest ended with “Abolish ICE” as the top-voted name chosen for one of the city’s snowplows. Voters submitted more than 13,000 names, and about 39,000 final votes were cast. The slogan “Abolish ICE” — a protest phrase used by critics of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement — became a political point of expression, partly in response to recent ICE enforcement actions in the Chicago area. Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson thanked residents for their creativity and civic pride and approved the name; his office said the choice reflected the clear preference of voters. Other winning names in the contest included humorous or pop-culture entries like “Stephen Coldbert,” “Pope Frio XIV,” “Blizzard of Oz,” “Svencoolie,” and “Caleb Chilliams.”
