DOJ investigating City of Chicago over alleged race-based hiring

The US Department of Justice launches an investigation into the city of Chicago, allegedly engaging in a pattern of discrimination on the basis of race, which is a violation of the 1964 Civil Rights law.

Harmet K. Delon, Assistant Prosecutor of the Civil Rights Department of the Ministry of Justice, a message to the mayor of Chicago Brandon Johnson on Monday for notifying him that an investigation had been opened into civil rights violations.

“Our investigation is based on information that indicates that you only took employment decisions on the basis of race,” Dhillon wrote. “In your notes that were made yesterday in the Apostolic Church of God in Woodon, they stand out[ed] The number of black officials in [your] administration.”

Johnson was a guest in the Apostolic Church of God, when he responded to critics who allegedly talking about the employment of black people.

“No, what I say is, when you employ our people, we are always looking for anyone else. We are the most generous people on this planet.”

Johnson continued to include senior officials in his administration, while emphasizing their race.

For example, Johnson said that the deputy mayor of work and development in the economic district is a black woman.

Other positions held by black women, which Johnson, the deputy mayor of infrastructure, the director of budget, and the Ministry of Planning and Development, spoke of.

Johnson also highlighted the senior operational employees and the chief advisor, because both are occupied by black men.

Delon wrote to Johnson: “After that, I said that you” put “these situations” to ensure that our employees have an opportunity to develop their business. “Given these statements, he authorized an investigation to determine whether the city of Chicago is working in a pattern or practice of discrimination as stipulated above.

She added: “If this type of employment decisions are taken at the higher level sites in your administration, this raises the question whether these decisions are also taken to the lower level sites.”

After the election of President Donald Trump for a second term, Johnson claimed during a press conference that the new president represents a threat to black families in his city.

“His threat is not only towards new arrivals and unconventional families. His threats against black families,” Johnson said. “We will protect black people, brown people, and Asian people. Chicago will be the best, strongest and safer despite the White House.”
