National Immigrant Justice Center’s Post

A NEW federal court ruling allows people who experienced inhumane living conditions in Clay County Jail (IN) to proceed with a lawsuit holding ICE & Clay County accountable for openly misusing funds meant to ensure better conditions. "For years, ICE has looked the other way as Clay County brazenly misappropriates funds earmarked for the care and custody of people detained by ICE at Clay County Jail, while those housed at the jail suffer in egregiously substandard conditions," said Mark Feldman, a senior litigation attorney at NIJC. NIJC proudly represents three brave people who are plaintiffs--Maribel, Javier, and Baijebo--as they stand up for others who were denied basic human dignity.

Thanks for sharing. I would have thought it had to involve harm and failure to prevent harm. Interesting.
