Fox News
Chicago Alderman Raymond Lopez ripped Mayor Lori Lightfoot over surging crime, warning she has 'emboldened criminals' with her policies on 'America's Newsroom'
Bailee Hill is an associate editor with Fox News Digital.
RAYMOND LOPEZ: What Lori Lightfoot has done is emboldened criminals by handcuffing our police, not allowing them to chase them, not allowing to pursue them, not allowing to arrest them in ways that show there are repercussions for their actions. And all the while, just continuing to try and gaslight our citizens and things that are on the national stage, while trying to avoid the issues in her own backyard.
