NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Nashville officials have agreed to a $490,000 settlement with an immigrant in the United States illegally who was shackled to a hospital bed during labor after being arrested during a traffic stop. The Tennessean reported the Metro Council approved the agreement Tuesday to end the five-year long lawsuit brought by Juana Vilegas. The case turned the national spotlight on Davidson County Sheriff Daron Hall's enforcement of a federal deportation law, which is no longer enforced in the county.
