CHICAGO (AP) — A judge has denied a request from Chicago to extend an order barring the president of the police union from making public statements encouraging members to disobey the city’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate. Earlier this month, Cook County Judge Cecilia Horan granted the city’s request for a temporary injunction that was set to expire late Monday.

City attorneys accused Fraternal Order of Police President John Catanzara of continuing to speak out or having other union officials do so in his place.
