Burley deputy says she was mocked at work for breastfeeding, files lawsuit By: Riley Shoemaker Originally Posted 4:00 AM, Apr 17, 2026 BURLEY, Idaho — A woman from Burley says the job she once loved became hostile after she returned from maternity leave, and she is now sharing her story exclusively with Idaho News 6 as new data shows a rise in workplace discrimination claims across the state. Hannah Jones says she has worked as a deputy at the Mini-Cassia County Criminal Justice Center for over three years and enjoyed the job before returning from leave. “It was humiliating and it seemed really discrediting,” Jones said. Jones said she initially had a positive experience at work.
