Supreme Court for now will not stop Ohio order to identify prisoners for move because of coronavirus
Source: Washington Post
The Supreme Court on Tuesday refused the Trump administrations request to shelve a judges order that hundreds of at-risk inmates at a federal prison in Ohio be expeditiously moved because of an outbreak of coronavirus.
The court left open the door for the administration. It said a new filing could be appropriate later after the case proceeded through lower courts.
Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel A. Alito Jr. and Neil M. Gorsuch would have granted the administrations request.
Courts across the country are seeing a rising number of lawsuits involving the covid-19 risk to prisoners. But the Trump administration had asked the Supreme Court to stop an order from a federal judge in Ohio regarding an outbreak at one of the worst hit, the Elkton Federal Correctional Institution.
