The American Civil Liberties Union of Chicago took aim at Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot's announced new restrictions for minors in the city as the mayor unveiled another new curfew for young people.
"Curfews and bans create group culpability for young people - whether they are there to enjoy the sights and sounds of downtown or something else," the ACLU said in a statement to ANC 7 Monday. "The vague description - relying on an undefined 'responsible adult' - allowing young people to be present in the park and the promise of strict enforcement will result in unnecessary stops and arrests and further strain relations between CPD and young people of color. "
The statement comes the same day Lightfoot announced additional restrictions for minors in the city, adding a 10 P.M. general weekend curfew to the 6 P.M. public park curfew the mayor announced Sunday.
"We have to end this pipeline of young people to the graveyard," Lifghtfoot said at a press conference Monday.
Lightfoot added that the "Chicago police will exhaust all other efforts before they take law enforcement actions," an apparent nod to concerns that the new rules could lead to more negative interactions between minors and police.

When will the ACLU be supporting 2nd Amendment cases?
Curfew for Chicago yutes? - sounds racist to me.
I can’t remember the last time I agreed with the ACLU.
Of course, if the ban was for MAGA cap wearers, they’d probably be all-in.
ACLU slams Lightfoot’s curfews for Chicago minors, say it will increase police encounters
Easily avoided if minors obey the curfew.
ACLU = Anarchical Cult for a Lawless Universe
The cops should simply turn their backs. Why get yourself in trouble over mayor groot’s relatives?
Um, yeah…. So young people will have an encounter, then get their behinds off the street. What’s the problem?
Just call them lockdowns...the ACLU is cool with those.
The late great William Buckley’s moniker for them was even better: the Anti-Christian Lunacy Union.
So when the “encounters” happen what will the yutes do?
A. Oblige
B. Whine racism
C. Fight police with fists
D. Get shot pulling a gun
