Inspector General Deborah Witzburg told the City Council that she’ll investigate the controversial June 4 police response if no one else will.
The mayor says Tom Carney, who’s been in the agency for more than 20 years, is leaving his post to focus on family. He’s the latest among a string of Johnson’s leaders to leave.
Mayor Brandon Johnson says he will veto the ordinance, which would empower Chicago Police Supt. Larry Snelling to issue curfews anytime, anywhere in the city, with 30 minutes’ notice.
A medida que los funcionarios se preparan para que Trump intensifique la aplicación de las medidas de inmigración, Johnson dice que Chicago está listo para luchar en las cortes, en las calles y con políticas para proteger a los residentes.
But just who asked for a key provision — which would give police the ability to call a curfew within 30 minutes — is unclear.
As officials prepare for Trump to escalate immigration enforcement, Johnson says Chicago is prepared to fight in the courts, the street and with policy to protect residents.
At a court hearing, Snelling criticized a plan to allow the Chicago Police Department to issue 30-minute curfews even though he defended the ordinance in a Sun-Times interview last week.
