New York City to pay $17.5 million for forcing women to remove hijabs for mug shots

  • New York City will pay $17.5 million to settle a lawsuit from two Muslim women who were forced to remove their head coverings during arrest.
  • Jamilla Clark and Arwa Aziz filed a class-action lawsuit in 2018, citing feeling shamed and exposed when their hijabs were removed during arrest.
  • Police officers threatened to prosecute Clark for not removing her head covering, prompting a change in the department's policy in 2020 to allow head coverings for mug shots with limited exceptions.
