The Daily Caller News Foundation (DCNF) and [[Judicial Watch]] filed suit, alleging the Chicago mayors stated racist policy violated the DNCF reporter Thomas Caenacci's [[First Amendment]] and [[Fourteenth Amendment]] rights:
{{quotebox-float|"The lawsuit, filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, Eastern Division, alleges that Lightfoot’s denial violates the DCNF and Catenacci’s First Amendment rights and Catenacci’s right to equal protection under the Fourteenth Amendment.
“It’s absurd that an elected official believes she can discriminate on the basis of race,” DCNF Editor-in-Chief Ethan Barton said. “Mayor Lightfoot’s decision is clearly blocking press freedom through racial discrimination.”}}
Catenacci requested an interview with Lightfoot through her office on May 20th to talk about [[coronavirus]]-related issues like Chicago’s lagging vaccination rate, how she’d rate her handling of the [[pandemic]] in comparison to other cities, etc. He followed up on May 21st and May 24th and did not receive a response. “By failing to respond in a timely manner, Mayor Lightfoot has denied Plaintiff Catenacci’s request,” the complaint alleges.
Further, the DCNF alleged “on information and belief” that Lightfoot was aware that Catenacci is white, and that because of that and her newly announced policy of interviewing only “journalists of color,” he was being denied the opportunity to sit down and interview her in his [[legal capacity|capacity]] as a [[journalist]].<ref>https://dailycaller.com/2021/05/27/daily-caller-news-foundation-lori-lightfoot-lawsuit/</ref>
