Anna Sorokin, a German woman convicted of posing as a wealthy heiress to scam banks, hotels and New York socialites, has sued federal immigration authorities for refusing to provide COVID-19 booster shots to her and other detainees facing deportation.
Sorokin, who is the subject of Netflix's new drama, "Inventing Anna," and three other detainees represented by the American Civil Liberties Union filed the complaint in Washington, D.C. federal court on Tuesday. They say U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement is violating the constitutional rights of medically vulnerable detainees by ignoring their requests for booster shots.Register now for FREE unlimited access to Reuters.
According to Tuesday's complaint, Sorokin tested positive for COVID-19 in January, a month after her written request for a booster shot was ignored, and suffered from a high fever, persistent cough and other symptoms. Sorokin has a chronic kidney infection and other medical issues, according to the lawsuit.
The ACLU filed a virtually identical lawsuit on behalf of a different group of detainees in January. Arthur Spitzer, a lawyer with the ACLU, said on Wednesday that the plaintiffs in that case all had recently received booster shots, making their claims moot, but that ICE has continued to routinely deny boosters to other detainees.
Spitzer said Sorokin was referred to the ACLU by another nonprofit group after she expressed concerns about not receiving a booster.
