Before illegal detention of US citizens by local law enforcement becomes the norm, please request that the Obama Administration order the DOJ to open an investigation into Chicago police operating an illegal "black site" interrogation facility.



On February 24, 2015, The Guardian newspaper released a report revealing the secret maintenance and operation of a CIA-style "black site" interrogation facility in Chicago, IL known as "Homan Square." According to the report, Chicago law enforcement officials are using the site to conduct illegal detention, interrogation, and abuse of US citizens. Once taken there, citizens can expect to be held for days in inhumane conditions, suffering abuse and even torture, all without being charged or granted access to legal counsel.



We call on the Obama Administration to immediately investigate these acts, and take all actions needed to ensure the end of said acts, the punishment of those responsible, the immediate release of those affected, and the prevention of any such illegal acts in the future.
