More than 600 immigrants held in Suffolk County jails in New York in 2017 will receive over $112 million after a federal judge ruled they were unlawfully detained at the request of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, court filings show.
The ruling found Suffolk County and the Suffolk County Sheriff's Office financially liable for violating the constitutional rights of 674 people who remained jailed even after posting bail or resolving their criminal cases.
