While waiting to join the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, Sheriff David A. Clarke’s Milwaukee County Jail is being sued left and right by inmates. A former inmate was recently awarded $6.7 million because a guard, Xavier Thicklen, repeatedly raped her while she was pregnant and incarcerated. She also sued because she was shackled to the bed in the hospital while giving birth but she did not win that case. Her lawyer argued that her treatment was not safe or humane. While Sheriff Clarke argued that this practice is necessary for the safety of the hospital staff, her never actually appeared in court.

Of course Clarke did not attend the trial and has no intention of being involved in any of the upcoming lawsuits but you would think these proceedings would have a negative effect on his ability to even be considered for a job with President. But considering who the president is, it will come to no surprise if he is offered a position with U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
