A Muslim woman is suing Louisville Metro Corrections and the city, saying she was made to remove her hijab in front of men for her jail booking photo.
Louisville Courier JournalLOUISVILLE, Ky. – A Muslim woman is suing Louisville Metro Corrections and the city, saying she was made to remove her hijab in front of men for her jail booking photo in violation of her religious rights.
Ruplinger was first allowed to wear her headscarf for a photo, her lawsuit says, before a male officer told her it had to be retaken without her hijab so officials could get"proper head dimensions." Protesters calling for the end of ICE blocked elevators at the Heyburn Building on Thursday morning where Louisville Immigration Court is held.The lawsuit says that the Jefferson County Attorney's Office had explained that the Metro Corrections officers were following policy. Officials were required to"take the inmate’s photograph, including pictures of any scars, marks and/or tattoos without compromising the inmate’s privacy .
The county attorney's office hasn't replied to a Courier Journal request for comment on this piece of the suit. Federal law doesn't place a mandate on metropolitan jails to take a mugshot, he said, and Kentucky doesn't have any mandatory requirements for booking photograph to be taken.
