| Good afternoon, Chicago. After first asserting it did not turn over personal information about city workers to U.S. Customs and Immigration Enforcement, Mayor Brandon Johnson’s Law Department is now hedging on how exactly the administration responded to a federal subpoena for employment eligibility forms. Johnson Corporation Counsel Mary Richardson-Lowry told reporters last week the city’s response to an ICE subpoena for the forms of Streets and Sanitation employees that determine whether they can
legally work in the U.S. contained no personal information about those workers. But yesterday, a Law Department spokesperson declined to go that far when the Tribune asked about what documents ICE did receive and what information they contain. Here’s what else is happening today. And remember, for the latest breaking news in Chicago, visit chicagotribune.com/latest-headlines and sign up to get our alerts on all your devices.
