Anjanette Young, a Black woman who made headlines after Chicago police handcuffed her naked while raiding the wrong home more than two years ago, said on Wednesday that she feels “betrayed” by Mayor Lori Lightfoot as the city tries to dismiss her lawsuit. Young and her attorney Keenan Saulter held a news conference outside City Hall, a move that comes as the social worker’s civil lawsuit makes its way through the courts. Young filed her complaint in February against the city and the police involved in the raid, accusing top officials like Lightfoot of conspiring to cover up the 2019 incident. Saulter said the city had originally sought mediation in the case ― a type of dispute resolution in which a third party helps both sides negotiate a settlement. But with an answer to Young’s civil complaint due by Thursday, the city’s Law Department is now planning to file a motion to dismiss the case. A copy of a June 14 email obtained by HuffPost confirmed the plans by attorneys for the city and officers to try and dismiss Young’s complaint.
