State corrections officers altered prisoner’s ID with racial caricature, lawsuit claims

Dylan Leenheer filed a lawsuit claiming that corrections officers at the Newberry Correctional Facility digitally altered his ID to include a racial caricature of Native American attire. The suit alleges that this action caused him "racial humiliation" and accuses the Michigan Department of Corrections of having an institutional failure to prevent such misconduct, despite the incident being public and visible to others.
