Fake heiress Anna Sorokin sues US immigration officials over Covid infection

Sorokin, in federal custody with the threat of deportation, claims multiple requests for vaccine booster dose were denied

Anna Sorokin, the woman who scammed victims out of hundreds of thousands of dollars by falsely posing as a German heiress, has sued Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice), saying she contracted Covid after officials denied her multiple requests for a booster shot.

According to the class-action lawsuit filed in federal court on Tuesday by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), Sorokin, along with three other plaintiffs, filed the suit against Ice's acting director, Tae Johnson, the Department of Homeland Security and its secretary, Alejandro Mayorkas, reported NBC News.
