Judicial Watch, a conservative activist group, announced Thursday it has sued Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot for not granting interviews to white reporters.
The lawsuit, filed on behalf of The Daily Caller, in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, Eastern Division, alleges Lightfoot violated reporter Thomas Catenacci’s equal protection rights under the Fourteenth Amendment and his First Amendment when she refused to respond to his multiple interview requests.
Earlier this month, a Chicago political reporter Mary Ann Ahern tweeted: “Lightfoot is granting 1 on 1 interviews – only to Black or Brown journalists.”
“Preventing journalists from doing our jobs in such a blatantly discriminatory way is wrong and does a disservice to our readers who come from all backgrounds,” Catenacci said, according to Fox News. “Every journalist and every person who consumes the news should be concerned by Mayor Lightfoot’s actions. This affects everyone. I look forward to holding the mayor accountable.”
