Authorities allegedly told Clara Ruplinger she had to remove her hijab so they could take her 'head dimensions,' according to her attorney, Soha Saiyed.
On 7/31/19 at 1:07 PM EDTA woman who says she was forced to remove her hijab for a mugshot after being arrested at an immigration protest has launched a lawsuit against the Louisville Metro Department of Corrections.
"Multiple officers approached her and said you have to take your scarf off so that we can take a picture to properly record your head dimensions," Saiyed said. "There is no explanation whatsoever and has been no explanation for why they decided that that was the photograph that they would make publicly available," Jeremiah Reece, who is also representing Ruplinger alongside Saiyed, told the broadcaster.
Before filing their lawsuit, Ruplinger's attorneys said they reached out to Mayor Greg Fischer and the county's attorney office about the incident, but were told that officials"didn't think we did anything wrong."
