By Chris Powell

The U.S. Department of Justice has officially launched a civil rights investigation into the City of Chicago under Mayor Brandon Johnson, following allegations that the city’s hiring practices under his leadership may violate federal anti-discrimination laws.

In a letter on Monday, the DOJ’s Civil Rights Division informed Johnson that it is investigating whether his administration engaged in a “pattern or practice of discrimination based on race” in violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

“Business and economic neighborhood development, the deputy mayor is a Black woman,” Johnson said. “Department of planning and development is a Black woman… Infrastructure, deputy mayor is a Black woman… Chief operations officer is a Black man… Budget director is a Black woman… Senior advisor is a Black man.”
