Auto-generated summary
Chicago's Committee on Ethics & Government Oversight discussed a resolution on February 19, 2025, revealing ex-Mayor Lori Lightfoot's administration provided pro bono legal aid to noncitizen migrants, represented by Barnes & Thornburg LLP. The city was criticized for not offering similar services to African American, Latino, senior citizens, and low-income residents. The Corporation Counsel and City Clerk were summoned to discuss this and the introduction of a municipal identification card, potentially aiding gangs like Tren De Aragua and MS-13.
