   Tyson Foods Inc. became the latest large company to announce its   
   departure from Chicago, continuing a trend in the city that many have   
   argued is the result of the city's skyrocketing rates of crime and   
   threatens to do harm to its most vulnerable populations.   
      
   Billionaire Ken Griffin announced earlier this year that he was moving   
   his hedge-fund firm, Citadel, out of Chicago because of the rising   
   crime, a move that was also made by mining equipment giant Caterpillar   
   and Boeing, the world's largest aerospace company.   
      
   "You're talking about a situation where you have a hollowed out   
   economy, where you have businesses leaving, there are no jobs,"   
   Heritage Foundation senior research fellow in the Center for Health and   
   Welfare Policy Robert Moffit told Fox News Digital last month. "And the   
   people who are desperately hurt by this are mostly low income and black   
   and minority residents who suffer the most from this high crime."

   This is what happens when a city has a no bail catch and release   
   policy, and puts criminals right back on the street.
