MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. – Eight Minnesota jail guards have filed a lawsuit alleging racial discrimination after they were barred from working on the floor where Derek Chauvin was being held.
The eight guards identify as African American, Hispanic, Pacific Islander American, and multiracial. They say they were segregated and prevented from doing their jobs at the Ramsey County jail solely because of the color of their skin. Derek Chauvin was arrested on May 29 in the death of Floyd.
Ramsey County had no comment on the lawsuit.
