Sorry to hear this happened to an innocent woman but $475,000? I see trial lawyers lining up for a pay day.
The 'officers' should pay the judgment out of their own personal funds. And they should be fired. They should be asking whether you want fries with that.
“Sorry to hear this happened to an innocent woman but $475,000?”
Indeed. Had it been me I’d have been happy to settle for putting all of the officers involved up against a wall and executing them myself. Saving the taxpayers money on the NEXT lawsuit.
TOO LITTLE money. And these U.S. Border agents should have been charged with sexual assault.
Want to know if something like this is wrong? Visualize your wife, girlfriend, or Mother in this situation.

I’m “sorry”, but sorry doesn’t cut it here, chief.
Assuming that you are a man, exactly how much would you “settle” for, exactly, if under color and force of law, strangers, non-medical personnel, started putting objects of dubious origin and cleanliness into your orifices?
There are some things I find very attractive about Arabic views of law. Certainly, we should be open-minded enough to take the best ideas from other cultures. Here, the wrong people (the taxpayers) are being very slightly indirectly punished although they are indirectly RESPONSIBLE, because they let this happen, and the actual perps will probably at most get fired. Using some of the best ideas from Arabic law, this type of problem would very quickly end when the people who perpetrated this wound up each missing the hands that they used, and no “medical disability retirement”, either. Then they can explain to their next employer exactly how that happened.
Good!
This isn’t the first time that this has happened, but it needs to be the last.
