- Jyran Mitchell was a highly recruited college football prospect – and then he met Illinois State Police Trooper Matthew Dumais.
Dumais wrongly detained Mitchell and the student-athlete sued, saying his knee was badly injured. The state settled.
Mitchell is back on the field and now plays for Butler University. But he still wondered why Dumais was “so angry” that night.
The state trooper is among the officers found on a leaked Oath Keepers’ membership list. To Mitchell, it was the missing piece. “He’s angry toward my people. He showed racism that night.”
In an investigation by WBEZ, the Sun-Times and the OCCRP, we widen our scope from CPD and examine the records of law enforcement officials across Illinois who appeared on the Oath Keepers membership list.

- Description
- When some officers got involved with notorious extremists, the Chicago Police Department assigned an officer to go undercover and raided the home of a cop who was recruiting colleagues to the radical and potentially violent group.
The city’s police board then moved swiftly to rid the department of all the extremist officers.
That was the approach the department took more than 55 years ago — after a small group of officers privately pledged their allegiance to the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan.
In an investigation by WBEZ, the Sun-Times and the OCCRP, we look at what CPD has done recently about active officers with alleged ties to modern-day extremist groups.
