Check out what NLG Chicago attorneys have been saying in the news during the uprising.
Listen to attorney Brad Thomson on WBEZ talking about protesters’ rights, and Jani Hoft discussing Chicago Police Department’s seizure of protesters’ bicycles.
NLG is currently a co-plaintiff in two lawsuits, one to prevent federal troops from coming to Chicago and one over access to counsel in lock-up. MacArthur Justice Center’s site has more coverage of the suit on access to counsel, as does WTTW, the Chicago Tribune, the Chicago Sun-Times, the Chicago Reporter and Block Club.
These two articles from Injustice Watch and Time Magazine mention the NLG Chicago and quote a few of our members voicing their frustration with CPD’s chaotic tactics of intimidation and suppression.
