Muslim women forced to remove their hijabs for mugshots score a $17.5 million win from NYC taxpayers

The Sharia colonization of the West continues.

According to a report out by Michael Dorgan and published by Fox News, the New York City government has agreed to a “preliminary financial settlement” of $17.5 million to settle a class action lawsuit brought against the city in 2018 by Jamilla Clark and Arwa Aziz, two Muslim women who were forced to remove their hijabs in order to get their mugshots taken after they were arrested for allegedly violating orders of protection (restraining orders). Now, also per Dorgan, the agreement still has to be approved by a district judge, but this is Manhattan so….

The settlement, should it go through, will make eligible “more than 3,600 people” for payouts, ranging between $7,824 and $13,125, with Clark and Aziz taking home $35k each.

As reported by Dorgan:

In response to the lawsuit, New York’s police department agreed in 2020 to let men and women wear head coverings during mugshots, so long as their faces could be seen.

‘This settlement resulted in a positive reform for the NYPD,’ said Nicholas Paolucci, a spokesman for the city’s law department. ‘The agreement carefully balances the department’s respect for firmly held religious beliefs with the important law enforcement need to take arrest photos.’

The New York City government claims to have a “respect for firmly held religious beliefs”? What about all those Christian Americans during the “pandemic” barred from worship services, forbidden from attending church functions, and fined and arrested if they violated the decrees?

What about the people whose genuine religious convictions preclude them from participating in experimental pharmaceutical pokes, who were coerced into participation to keep their jobs and provide for their families?

What a bunch of insanity. Mug shots are supposed to be for ID purposes.

Does the US Passport Agency still require a 3/4 shot with one ear exposed? Probably not.

Only if you're a Christian.

It’s just the continuation of the planned financial collapse of the US by creating more chaos. I’m surprised no one in the media has spoken about Cloward-Piven, because this is what is happening in full force.

No one cares about them. They are not noted for killing people who they disagree with, nor are they part of a completely peaceful religion, like Islam, worse they are likely to be Christians, noted for their Inquisition - the torture and brutal murders of innocents, unlike muslims.

He always knew multiple ways to destroy the country. And we’ve seen a bunch of them.

In 2016 I kept telling people that he was not done destroying. I had more than a couple telling me he was absolutely done.

And then he bought a house in D.C. Which is highly-unusual.

It would be the same thing if some aboriginals sued for having their mugshots taken because it stole their souls. And won.

Dunno, but I'm sure W is on board with whatever

From JonPreston's homepage - this made me snicker

This is such a beautiful moment; two different political parties, two different colors, three different sexes
