U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor on Thursday put on hold a judge's ruling that would require the U.S. government to move up to 837 potentially at-risk prisoners out of a federal prison in Ohio due to concerns about the health risks of the coronavirus.
WASHINGTON - U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor on Thursday put on hold a judge’s ruling that would require the U.S. government to move up to 837 potentially at-risk prisoners out of a federal prison in Ohio due to concerns about the health risks of the coronavirus.
Sotomayor, who has responsibility for emergency appeals arising from Ohio, in a brief order granted a request by President Donald Trump’s administration to temporarily block the lower court ruling while the government appeals the decision. The Supreme Court on May 26 rejected the administration’s first request seeking to block the judge’s ruling.
The inmates affected are more at risk from COVID-19, the respiratory disease caused by the coronavirus, because they are of advanced age or have underlying health conditions, or both, according to the lawsuit.The Justice Department, representing the Bureau of Prisons, has said that the government already has implemented a plan to protect inmates from COVID-19.
