Arkansas DHS wants federal judge to dismiss civil lawsuit
The Arkansas Department of Human Services wants a federal judge to dismiss a civil lawsuit filed by Tony Alamo Christian Ministries because the “bad faith” necessary to keep the case alive doesn’t exist, according to a brief filed Monday.
The suit was filed in April on behalf of the ministry and two fathers with children in foster care. DHS has described the civil action as a thinly veiled attempt to get a federal court to meddle in state court custody proceedings. Federal courts may not intervene in state cases except in rare circumstances such as bad faith.
