Watchdog finds Lightfoot’s office made ‘a troubling series of unfounded statements’ on Anjanette Young case

An inspector general’s investigation found “a troubling series of unfounded statements” were made by Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s administration over the wrongful police raid of Anjanette Young’s home, according to the IG’s quarterly report.

Acting on a bad tip that a man with an illegal firearm lived in the apartment, 13 police officers raided Young’s home in February 2019, restrained her while she was getting ready for bed and forced her to stand handcuffed and naked as they searched her residence. Amid the fallout, Ferguson opened an investigation. Lightfoot also commissioned law firm Jones Day to conduct its own investigation, which last month found that city officials failed to follow appropriate procedures, did not adequately communicate across departments and “did not live up to the public service mission” in their handling of the botched police raid on Young’s home.

But the mayor soon acknowledged that members of her staff had told her about the raid via emails in November 2019, as Ch. 2 was reporting on search warrants being served at incorrect addresses. But she said she had no recollection of the emails. A city lawyer asked a Chicago Police staffer to retrieve the body camera in mid-November 2019, the report said, saying a supervisor “came to my office and said the Mayor’s Office is freaking out about this case, why don’t we have a video.”

I don't like mayor Lori Lightfoot she's a horrible mayor! Lightfoot is something else. A Black woman was harassed and intimidated by Chicago police and the Black female mayor tried to cover it up!

Mistakes happen,it was very unfortunate.I really don’t think it was a $3mil out of the city’s completely tapped account kind of mistake.I would gladly volunteer to allow CPD to kick in my door once a week for the next 5 years.That would equate to $12G per visit.Where do I sign up

she should be removed from office
