The Chicago City Council is set to vote on a $2.9M settlement for Anjanette Young, a Black woman who sued the city and several police officers over a botched 2019 raid at her apartment.
Mayor Lori Lightfoot said she was"comfortable" with the settlement, the newspaper reported.
It said the officer had information listing the target's address but “disregarded all of this information and instead relied exclusively on J. Doe’s statements." Body camera video showed officers placing Young under arrest while she was naked. When she asked to see their warrant, she was ignored and was instead questioned about the target. She told police that she did not know the target, according to the report.

Kristen Cabanban, a spokeswoman for the city's legal department, said Young's attorney agreed to the settlement.

Senate poised to raise debt limit by $2.5T, avoiding defaultThe Senate was poised Tuesday to lift the nation's debt limit by $2.5 trillion under a deal struck between party leaders, defusing a volatile issue until after next year's midterm elections while saddling majority Democrats with a tough vote. The bill is expected to clear the Senate on a party-line vote that garners no Republican support, with swift passage by the House likely to follow before it then heads to President Joe Biden’s desk. For months, Republicans have used debt limit increases to sabre-rattle about Democrats' big-spending social and environmental agenda while pledging to staunchly oppose any efforts to increase in the debt limit.
