Capt. Anna King Sues National Guard for $3M After Detention Incident
- Capt. Anna King was detained by three National Guardsmen in her front yard on May 8, during which she was pushed to the ground and restrained with zip ties.
- The ACLU and a private law firm have filed a federal tort claim seeking $3 million for injuries sustained during the incident, which King describes as an assault.
- King's attorneys argue that her detention was retaliation for her vocal opposition to the National Guard's presence, as she had been publicly protesting their deployment.
