A man who is suing Chicago for allegedly falsely labeling him a gang member may reach a settlement with the city. Wilmer Catalan Ramirez, a Guatemalan national, claims immigration agents arrested him in March because he was on Chicago Police Department’s gang database. Attorneys on both sides told a federal judge Wednesday that they’ve been negotiating a possible settlement to avoid a jury trial over his claims against the city.
