After more than a year of battling in court, the owners of now-shuttered Westlake Hospital have agreed to pay Melrose Park $1.5 million under a settlement approved by the village board Monday.
The village sued Los Angeles-based Pipeline Health in Cook County Circuit Court in March of last year, after Pipeline said it would close Westlake. The village alleged Pipeline made misrepresentations when it bought Westlake by saying it would keep the hospital open, and then closing it weeks after the purchase.

The American Civil Liberties Union on Thursday sued the facial recognition start-up Clearview AI, which has helped hundreds of law enforcement agencies use online photos to solve crimes, accusing the company of “unlawful, privacy-destroying surveillance activities.”
In a suit filed in Illinois, the A.C.L.U. said that Clearview violated a state law that forbids companies from using a resident’s fingerprints or face scans without consent. Under the law, residents have the right to sue companies for up to $5,000 per privacy violation.

The American Civil Liberties Union on Thursday filed suit in Cook County against Clearview AI, a New York-based startup that has developed a controversial facial recognition tool that allows users to compare an image against a database of billions of photos lifted from the internet.
The lawsuit against Clearview — which has provided its program to various public and private entities, including the Chicago Police Department — alleges the company continues to violate the Illinois Biometric Information Privacy Act, which protects residents’ facial and fingerprint identifiers.

Our country is at a tipping point after the recent murder of George Floyd. Black Lives Matter is not just having a moment - we’re at the beginning of an important movement that has spurred not only calls for reforming our police and justice systems, but a fundamental shift in American culture.
In this episode, we’re honored to welcome Tony Ramunucci, founding partner at Romanucci & Blandin, LLC and one of the lawyers representing the Floyd family. Tony tells Mr. Floyd’s story and talks about how his family is coping, the “Code of Silence” among police officers and the culture of impunity, and what’s been happening across the country as a result of Mr. Floyd’s death. He also discusses aspects of the criminal case and whether civil cases are going to be filed. Listen in to hear this informative discussion.
