Judge rules immigration agency must stand trial in Ng death case

"A federal judge has issued a lengthy opinion that shot down a government effort to have U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement dropped from a lawsuit filed by the family of a Chinese national who died while in the custody of the Donald W. Wyatt Detention Facility in Central Falls.

In a 16-page ruling issued Monday, U.S. District Court Judge William E. Smith said that the American Civil Liberties Union had presented enough evidence to keep ICE as a defendant in the case."
