According to the Chicago Sun Times, Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot (Lori Lightfoot) has proposed a $2.9 million settlement for social worker Anjanette Young, who was the central figure in the 2019 police raid. On the night of February 21, 2019, when Yang was about to go to bed, a group of Chicago police officers broke into her home and announced a raid, even though she insisted that they had entered the wrong house. Yang, who was unclothed when he entered, was forced to be naked and handcuffed to the police for nearly an hour during the raid.

Before WBBM-TV aired a video in December 2020, Lightfoot claimed that she knew nothing about the raid. But after an internal email review, the mayor admitted that a senior aide notified her of the raid in November 2019, and it happened nine months later.

"We expect that on Monday, the Finance Committee will receive a proposed settlement regarding Ms. Young for consideration. Out of respect for this process, we will not comment further," Lightfoot said in a statement Say.
