COPA's Investigation Fails to Find Alleged Victims of Sexual Misconduct by Chicago Police with Migrants

The Civilian Office of Police Accountability (COPA) in Chicago has stated that they have been unable to substantiate claims of sexual misconduct by Chicago police officers against migrants. Despite an ongoing investigation involving multiple agencies and community advocates, no alleged victims have been identified so far. COPA did uncover another sexual misconduct allegation in a different district, but the source of the complaints is still being determined. The investigation remains open and ongoing, with the city's public safety committee urging for an expedited process. The Chicago Police Department's Bureau of Internal Affairs is also conducting its own investigation.
