New York City has agreed to pay a whopping settlement after a pair of women claimed their rights were violated when they were forced to remove their hijabs for mugshots.
A hijab is not a full-body garment. It covers only the hair and neck.
The city said it will fork over the $17.5 million settlement, (snip)
Ms. Clark, who was arrested on a violation of an order of protection in Manhattan in 2017, said she “wept and begged to put her hijab back on” while standing in Police Headquarters at One Police Plaza with the head scarf around her shoulders, according to the complaint.

We do not have a Sharia law in the USA. These women live in the USA and have to follow US laws, not sharia

# 2 - you might have Sharia law in your state and not realize it. We did in Oklahoma. I had no idea until there was a proposition to vote it out. The huge majority voted to throw it out. Two weeks later, a judge reinstated it.

If they didn't want to have to take their hijabs off for mug shots they should not have violated the laws and gotten arrested. Arrested more than once it sounds like! No special treatment. Don't want to take your hijab off, don't get arrested.

Those muzzies just don't want their real identity exposed. I don't see why NYC has to pay a fine other than the fact that the city is run by terrorists loving demonrats.

New York City didn't pay anything, New York City TAXPAYERS did. However, they don't seem to mind the constant insanity that is dished out there, so to hell with them. It's your hell hole, enjoy it.

Wow...if it offers a $17.5MM payout, even this straight, white male might wear a hijab just long enough to cash in.

Goodness, how many hotel nights and food vouchers for how many illegal aligns could $17.5 million cover?

It's a stupid religious (read: Mohammedan) superstition and an affront to God in His designation of the woman's beauty being expressed by her hair.

So their emotional distress was worth $17.5M? If I get arrested, I will plead and beg to keep my ball cap on. If they force me to remove it, I will be rich.

The solution to this is that women who want to cover their faces go live in countries where it is legal. No problema. They knew the rules when they weaseled their way into our country.

Oh, the horror. Imagine how much money they would get if they accused Donald Trump of raping them.

Since they resist a proper mugshot, how about: DNA swab, retinal scan, and a long-lasting henna tattoo on the back of their hands? Or a brand, for 2nd time offenders.

Who is going to take the $$$$ from them and for what purpose?
Another boondoggle to use tax dollars AGAINST U.S. ??
Like all those FAKE out-of-court settlements against the EPA which we pay ransom for NOT having the cases tried in Court where they might not win-- we just GIVE THEM the $$$$

#12.... I did not realize that Kammie was a Noo Yawk judge.
I thought she was Willie Brown's 'side piece'.
