A federal judge has ordered Long Island's Suffolk County, NY, to pay $112 million in damages after hundreds of illegal immigrants were detained by local authorities on behalf of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
The ruling determined that both the county and the Suffolk County Sheriff’s Office violated the constitutional rights of 674 individuals who were kept in county jails in 2017 even after posting bail or resolving their criminal cases.
“This decision brings long-overdue accountability,” said Jose Perez, Deputy General Counsel at LatinoJustice PRLDEF, which represented the plaintiffs. “The jury confirmed what we have argued all along, that Suffolk County’s actions trampled the basic due process rights guaranteed under the 14th Amendment.”
The case began when a 34-year-old Long Island resident, originally from Guatemala, filed a complaint after being held in a Suffolk County jail beyond his scheduled release date. The lawsuit alleged that he was detained “for ICE’s administrative convenience” rather than any lawful basis, reports PIX11.
According to court filings, the man was arrested in April 2017 in Central Islip. Although his cousin paid a $1,000 bail to secure his release, he was never told the bail had been processed and was instead transferred first to ICE’s Varick Street Detention Center in Manhattan, then later to Bergen County Jail in New Jersey.

Bonnie and Clyde suing the banks after robbing them.
The advocacy groups running the NGO-NFP legal services for illegals is the beneficiary, then laundering the proceeds to be be distributed among leftist politicians. The illegals won’t see a dime besides handed out spending cards and free filthy motel rooms.
LoL, so sorry, that last post was not intended for this thread.
Why do illegal immigrants have “constitutional rights”? They are not citizens.
Deport them NOW can’t collect from Columbia or Venezuela!!!
The jokes just write themselves, as Will Rogers said.
Here’s some lovely parting gifts...You come back, now, hear?
