Quotes

Officials only, in order.

I now like to provide some more information about tonight’s hearing. Since ICE and Customs Border Protection increased activity in Chicago, there have been questions about whether the Chicago Police Department has engaged with ICE and CBP in ways that violate city law and departmental policy, police department policy.Remel Terry · President · West Side10:42

How we count

Each summary sentence is checked against the transcript before it is published; in a blind check, 144 of 150 sentences were right. A voice gets an official’s name only when two AI readers and a code check agree, so the minutes undercount and are not attendance. Officials only: members of the public are counted, never named, shown or quoted, and full transcripts aren’t published because they can carry their names. More on how we know
