State and Local Issues

Trump’s Justice Department to oppose pending Chicago police consent decree

“Mayor Rahm Emanuel and Chicago Police Supt. Eddie Johnson said in a joint statement, ‘There they go again. The Trump Administration never ceases to amaze, and this is just further proof that they are out of step with the people of Chicago and out of touch with reality. Given the Trump Administration’s stance we are proud to partner with Attorney General [Lisa] Madigan, someone who recognizes that our public safety reforms have public safety benefits, on a consent decree that reflects the input and ideas of residents and officers alike’.“
