The Harvey Police Department in Chicago's southern suburbs has a long, highly documented history of federal corruption investigations, scandals, and lawsuits.
Detective Javier Magana called me twice and left a voicemail asking me to come in. Today, June 11, 2026, he called me at 11:51 a.m. and told me he has video footage and witnesses who allegedly saw me setting fires in Harvey, Illinois.
I have not been to Harvey since May 12, 2025, when I attended and spoke at a press conference supporting City Council Member Colby Chapman and speaking out against corruption in Harvey.
They're mad because I've been keeping an eye on the retention pond project on Myrtle Avenue that displaced numerous elderly residents, including the Poole family. The retention pond project still hasn't started.
MWRD President Kari Steele said it wasn't eminent domain, but residents were forced out with compensation that, in my opinion, was nowhere near what they should have received. This comes despite MWRD having one of the largest budgets and remaining financially strong while communities continue dealing with flooding issues and concerns about water infrastructure.
MWRD President Kari Steele's husband is Maze Jackson of "What's In It for the Black People?" I have publicly criticized Jackson and former 27th Ward Alderman Walter Burnett Jr. regarding development, housing, and gaming-related issues in Chicago.
I have also raised concerns about sweepstakes gaming machines operating in businesses throughout the 27th Ward and questioned whether city officials are properly regulating them.

You won't Sandra Bland me.
I'm going straight to the FBI. Operation
Gaylord 2.0. It's RICO time.
And mysteriously, I can't find my wallet that I lost at City Hall on June 9, 2026โthe same day Maze Jackson was there. I filed a police report.
Just in case my wallet suddenly pops up in Harvey, Illinois.
Here are the videos I have been documenting regarding the retention pond controversy and the death of Christopher Clark:
