An ordinance named after the Chicago social worker was introduced into Chicago City Council Wednesday. So when they found me, with no clothes on, it meant this ordinance would at least hold them accountable for how they treat me in that moment, Young said.
According to the University of Chicago s Craig Futterman, the mistake is not unusual. He authored the ordinance after reviewing three years of Chicago data. Nearly half of the raids resulted in nothing, Futterman said. So many of the raids involved targeting innocent folks, going into the wrong homes because officers didn t even do basic, just corroboration.

CHICAGO (WLS) There was a big show of support Monday for the woman at the center of a botched Chicago Police Department raid.
A large group gathered at Anjanette Young s church on Chicago s South Side calling for police reform. Young and her supporters called for changes in the police department to make sure this doesn t happen again.
Instead of fighting her battle in silence, Young continued to share her humiliating experience with the Chicago police as call to action against injustice. I would tell it again today, I would tell it again tomorrow. I will tell it again until no other woman in the city of Chicago is ever treated that way again, Young said.
CHICAGO (WLS) Several Chicago City Council members criticized Mayor Lori Lightfoot Tuesday for declining to meet with the victim of a botched CPD raid on the terms the Anjanette Young and her attorney proposed.
But while the Wednesday meeting has now been cancelled, the mayor is still trying to arrange a private opportunity to speak with the victim.
Young was handcuffed while naked by police who had the wrong address and raided her home in the middle of the night in February 2019. If she is going to get an apology from the mayor, it will not involve a public forum with aldermen.
CHICAGO (WLS) Demonstrators Sunday in Chicago called for police reform and showed support for Anjanette Young, the woman whose home was mistakenly raided by Chicago police who had the wrong address last year.
The group gathered outside Chicago Police Headquarters at 35th Street and Michigan Avenue included the Rev. Jesse Jackson and Lt. Gov. Juliana Stratton. And I speak for myself today in support of an incredibly courageous woman, Miss Anjanette Young, Stratton said. A woman who endured the horror of 12 officers storming into her home as she stood naked.
Chicago police declined to comment further on the matter Sunday, citing the fact that the incident is under investigation by the Civilian Office of Police Accountability.
