(St. Paul, MN) -- A Muslim woman has won a lawsuit after a Minnesota county jail forced her to remove her hijab following an arrest for a traffic offense.
Aida Shyef Al-Kadi announced the settlement this week with her attorneys at the Minneapolis headquarters of the Council on American-Islamic Relations.
The 120-thousand dollar settlement includes having the jail put specific rules in place on accommodating inmates with religious headwear during the booking photo process.
