Rights Lawsuit: Immigrant Teens

rights lawsuit: A lawyer suing the Shenandoah Valley Juvenile Center said Tuesday they expect a fourth teen with similar allegations to join the case, according to The Chronicle Herald. The Associated Press reported last month on sworn statements from Latino teens who alleged being beaten while handcuffed, locked up for long periods in solitary confinement and left nude and shivering in concrete cells. Lawyers for immigrant teens who allege severe abuse inside a Virginia detention centre plan to push ahead with a federal civil rights lawsuit even though two of the teens have returned to their home countries and a third no longer wants to be part of the case. Shenandoah's lawyers have denied the allegations. Source Source The Associated Press Photo Caption The Shenandoah Valley Juvenile Center on Wednesday, June 20, 2018 in Staunton, Va.
