A Chicago City Council committee voted Thursday to reject legislation introduced in response to a botched 2019 police raid of a Black woman that prompted widespread outrage.
Anjanette Young, who was a victim of a botched police raid, speaks following a committee meeting at Chicago City Hall Thursday. Ald. Maria Hadden, 49th, is at right.
Body camera footage shows Chicago police officers conducting an errant raid on social worker Anjanette Young’s home on Feb. 21, 2019. ”Shame on City Council for not moving forward with this today… and shame on the city for not supporting this, because we will get this ordinance passed, whether it’s in the state level or some other way,” Young said.
Also under Hadden’s legislation, Chicago police will be required to publish data on each residential warrant it served and refer each unsuccessful raid to the Civilian Office of Police Accountability. Informants would not be allowed to be the sole source of information for a warrant, and if children are present, at least one social worker or mental health professional must be on site.
