I am not an attorney and this is not legal advice.
You described racist (and have you considered possibly sexist?) actions by CPS towards you as a father and your child.
Possible failure to respect:
"There is a fundamental right under the Fourteenth Amendment for a parent to oversee the care, custody, and control of a child."
Troxel v. Granville, 530 U.S. 57 (2000)

One of the reasons you stated CPS said to deny your custody of your child is so self-evidently inappropriate that it may amount to:
Possible honest services fraud:
For the purposes of this chapter, the term “scheme or artifice to defraud” includes a scheme or artifice to deprive another of the intangible right of honest services.
18 U.S. Code § 1346.Definition of “scheme or artifice to defraud”

Deciding to take a child from a father based on sex or racial characteristics is:
Possible criminal conspiracy against rights:
"If two or more persons conspire to injure, oppress, threaten, or intimidate any person in any State, Territory, Commonwealth, Possession, or District in the free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege secured to him by the Constitution or laws of the United States, or because of his having so exercised the same; or"

Other possible federal crimes.
I previously reported on a relative who faced hostile CPS workers. Rather than retyping that, please consider reading about it here.
A relative of a child in foster care complained that they requested guardianship and visits. They described the case manager as being hostile and dishonest, refusing to help them in any way

Given your child is not in the care of mom, which is the default for newborns, it's likely she's not able or willing to care for your child.
Consider an emergency motion to change custody to prevent the abusive parent from having custody, and to establish your custody. Illinois but other states are similar:
When There Are Grounds for An Emergency Motion
When considering restricting parental responsibilities the court will consider additional factors and the factors set out below will give you an idea of what the court deems an emergency:
Abuse, neglect, or abandonment of the child;
Abusing or allowing abuse of another person that had an impact upon the child; Use of drugs, alcohol, or any other substance in a way that interferes with the parent’s ability to perform caretaking functions with respect to the child; and Persistent continuing interference with the other parent’s access to the child, except for actions taken with a reasonable, good-faith belief that they are necessary to protect the child’s safety pending adjudication of the facts underlying that belief, provided that the interfering parent initiates a proceeding to determine those facts as soon as practicable.

I wish you the best of luck in your search for justice.
Tweet and gettr with me to seek justice:
A father said he was denied custody of his child by CPS. He believes that the racial characteristics of his child may be a motivation. Reasons for denying custody were self-evidently inappropriate.
