SANTA ANA (CNS)—The American Civil Liberties Union of Southern California filed a federal lawsuit on April 30 against the Orange County sheriff to force him and the county to reduce the jails population, to better implement social distancing during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The lawsuit, filed in Santa Ana, demands the immediate release of “vulnerable and disabled” inmates, improvements to social distancing, increases in care, testing, and personal protective equipment.
