A 21-year-old woman, Amara Harris, who was falsely accused of stealing AirPods in high school has filed a $20 million civil rights discrimination lawsuit against the city of Naperville and two police department members. Harris, who is Black, endured a nearly four-year legal battle before being found not liable. The lawsuit alleges racial bias in law enforcement targeting Black students and seeks to address the improper citation and targeting of students of color for minor infractions. Harris aims to work towards policy changes in school resource officer operations in Illinois.
