Corrections officers of color file lawsuit, claim they weren't allowed to guard Chauvin Eight corrections officers at Ramsey County jail filed the lawsuit on Tuesday. Author: Eight corrections officers who allege they were ordered to avoid Derek Chauvin while he was in jail because they're not white have filed a lawsuit against Ramsey County. The corrections officers, who identify as Black, Hispanic, Pacific-Islander and mixed-race, work at the Ramsey County Adult Detention Center (ADC), where Chauvin, the former Minneapolis police officer charged with the murder George Floyd, was being held after he was charged. The eight jail workers say ADC Superintendent Steve Lydon gave verbal orders prohibiting them from interacting with and guarding Chauvin, as well as being ordered not to go anywhere near the fifth floor where he was being held, the 30-page lawsuit filed in Ramsey County District Court on Tuesday says.
