<p style="line-height:13.5pt"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:#333333">On May 12, 2023, the Department of Justice filed a Statement of Interest in Lou v. Lopinto, a private lawsuit against the Sheriff of Jefferson Parish, Louisiana, and several Jefferson
Parish Sheriff’s Office deputies (defendants). The lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana by the parents of a sixteen-year-old with autism who died while the defendants were responding to the child’s disability-related
acute sensory episode, or “outburst.” One of the lawsuit’s claims is that the defendants discriminated against the child based on disability, in violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), when they did not reasonably accommodate the child’s known
disability while interacting with and restraining the child. The department filed the Statement of Interest to clarify how Title II of the ADA applies to law enforcement encounters with people experiencing disability-related crises. The department’s brief
explains that law enforcement agencies can violate the ADA by failing to provide people with disabilities with an equal opportunity to benefit from their services when officers respond to emergency calls. Law enforcement officers can also violate the ADA by
failing to reasonably modify their procedures when interacting with people with disabilities. Finally, the department explains that the Fifth Circuit’s exigent circumstances exception should not bar this ADA claim. The Statement of Interest can be read

to ensure that their online services, programs, and activities are accessible to people with disabilities. Many colleges, universities, and other postsecondary institutions increasingly rely on their websites and third-party online platforms to provide services,
programs, and activities to members of the public including learning platforms, podcasts and videos, and third-party platforms like YouTube, Spotify, and Apple Podcasts. The letter reiterates that Title II of the ADA and Section 504 require colleges, universities,
and other postsecondary institutions to provide equal opportunities to people with disabilities in all their operations and highlights recent web accessibility enforcement activities and technical assistance. For more information, click
