Stallantis to invest in four states
Stellantis has announced plans to expand its U.S. production by 50% with investments in Illinois, Ohio, Michigan and Indiana.
The automaker said it would invest $613 million and create around 3,300 jobs at the Belvidere plant to expand production of the Jeep Cherokee and Jeep Compass for the U.S. market.
Stellantis CEO Antonio Filosa said success in America is good for Stellantis in the U.S. and makes the company stronger everywhere.

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security says it has obtained credible intelligence indicating that Mexican criminals have coordinated with domestic extremist groups and placed targeted bounties of up to $50,000 on U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and U.S. Customs and Border Protection personnel.
DHS said in a statement that criminal networks have instructed Chicago street gangs and other “sympathetics” to monitor, harass and assassinate federal agents.
