In 2023, public reporting revealed that a group of sheriff鈥檚 deputies in Rankin County, Mississippi, had been terrorizing the County鈥檚 residents for nearly two decades. The deputies, who called themselves the 鈥淕oon Squad,鈥� used torture, violence, and other abusive practices to coerce confessions and extract or manufacture evidence. The Rankin County District Attorney鈥檚 Office (RCDAO), in turn, used the Goon Squad to prosecute people. Seeking to understand whether the RCDAO has taken any actions to address the Goon Squad鈥檚 misconduct since it became public, the ACLU of Mississippi and the Center for Constitutional Rights filed a public records request with the RCDAO. But the RCDAO refused to produce any documents other than a self-serving press statement. Accordingly, the ACLU鈥檚 State Supreme Court Initiative, along with the ACLU of Mississippi and the Center for Constitutional Rights, filed suit arguing that the RCDAO鈥檚 failure to produce responsive records violates the Mississippi Public Records Act.
