CHICAGO — For months, migrants bused to Chicago from Texas have found themselves housed in Chicago police stations in difficult circumstances, leaving city and state leaders stunned Friday by allegations that officers at one of the police facilities may have had sexual contact with at least one of those seeking shelter there.
A complaint submitted Thursday to the Civilian Office of Police Accountability spurred an internal Chicago Police Department investigation into allegations of sexual misconduct by at least one officer involving a migrant housed at a West Side police station.
In a statement issued Friday, COPA First Deputy Chief Administrator Ephraim Eaddy said the agency alerted CPD internal affairs upon receipt of the complaint against “members” of the department.
