There is a Settlement in a class action lawsuit (Onadia v. City of New York, et al.) that alleged New York City violated the law when detaining individuals beyond their scheduled release date based solely on a detainer issued by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. The City denies it did anything wrong.
People who can get money from the Settlement (also called Class Members) are: anyone who was detained by the New York City Department of Correction beyond the individual’s scheduled release date between April 1, 1997 and December 21, 2012, despite all other conditions for the person’s release being satisfied and based solely on a detainer issued by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
