.injusticewatch reports that CPD is denying undocumented victims of crimes U-Visas at rates far higher than any other comparable city – with the bulk of denials coming from officers with significant misconduct issues.
by Injustice Watch found that the Chicago Police Department has prevented undocumented immigrants who are victims of crimes from qualifying to apply for temporary status.
“The U-Visa certification is the first piece of that pie. A victim of a crime needs to obtain a certification signed by law enforcement that demonstrates they have been helpful, are being helpful, or are likely to be helpful in the investigation or prosecution of that crime,” Teofilo Olave said. Carlos Ballesteros, who reported the story for Injustice Watch, closely followed Nodirjon Zakirjonovan, an undocumented immigrant from Uzbekistan who was the victim of a stabbing. Zakirjonovan cooperated with police but was denied a U-Visa.
He was then told to contact detectives directly to reopen the case, which he did and the case was reopened. The final denial, as Ballesteros relays, suggests that Zakirjonovan’s information was not credible. Then they are victims of crime, that much more vulnerable and they attempt to cooperate. But the crime, that’s the second thing. This is a time of very high crime in the city,” he added
“Both sergeants were up for being terminated in 2018 but both were cleared despite the fact that investigators raised serious questions about their credibility as police officers,” Ballesteros said.
