The lawsuit filed against San Diego County Sheriff Bill Gore seeks to reduce the incarcerated population to levels that will allow for social distancing or provide widespread vaccinations. The suit comes one day after sheriff's officials announced that 46 people tested positive for COVID-19 at the George Bailey Detention Facility in Otay Mesa.
