The Chicago City Council is set to vote on a $2.9 million 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.
Young's first-floor apartment was raided in February 2019 after Officer Alain Aporongao obtained a search warrant using information from an anonymous source. The source told Aporongao that an acquaintance had brandished an illegal weapon at a home, the report stated. 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.Officers covered up Young in a blanket before a female officer eventually escorted her to a bedroom so she could get dressed.

Chicago expected to pay woman $2.9M over botched police raidA Chicago City Council committee on Monday recommended paying $2.9 million to a woman who was handcuffed while naked by police officers during a botched raid of her home in 2019. The Finance Committee's unanimous approval to recommend the settlement for social worker Anjanette Young will be considered Wednesday by the full City Council, which almost always follows the committee's recommendations. “The city has never disputed Ms. Young suffered an indignity” during the raid, city Corporation Counsel Celia Meza told the Finance Committee, according to the Chicago Tribune. 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. In striking a deal, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell backtracked on his past words.
