ORANGE, Calif. — A Southern California county will allow jailed Muslim women to wear headscarves after settling a lawsuit with a woman who claims that deputies violated her religious freedom by making her remove her hijab.
The settlement agreement signed by the county last week and released Monday specifies that Muslim women must be provided a private area to remove their headscarves after arrest and must be provided with county-issued headscarves to cover themselves when they are in the presence of men.
The county, which did not admit wrongdoing, will also pay $45,000 in damages. Plaintiff Jameelah Medina will get $10,000 after subtracting attorney fees, said Hector Villagra, director of the Orange County office of the American Civil Liberties Union.

Now I’m not going to let you see my scorcher note to our Board of Potentates...
LOL. Sorry—I didn’t mean to offend.
But when it comes to OC, you really have a very diverse mix.
(Conservatives, Laguna gays and environazis, Newport stock crooks, Santa Ana de Mexico, etc).
The fact that ya also spawned a whacked-out-kid-turned-terrorist isn’t surprising. It could have happened just about anywhere.
For a second there I thought I might forgive you...until I read your other two comments.
Next, I suppose you're going to blame us for Sheriff Carona...
True, we have our issues. However, those issues are nowhere near as wide and deep as the ones confronting LA. Think I will stay with the OC.
‘My man’ Villaraigosa vs. ‘your man’ Carona...
How about we just purge the whole lot of them?
I agree that we have more work to do up here than you do in OC.
Guess I can forgive you...
Board a train without paying.

What a country.
Phew! Ya had me worried. ;-)
Nothing to worry about—you’re a Czar fave...
