Aidya Shyef Al-Kadi sued the Ramsey County Jail over allegations that she had to remove her hijab as part of the booking process at the prison, following turning herself in back in 2013 for missing traffic court.

Al-Kadi said it was “one of the most humiliating and harmful experiences” of her life.

Now, Al-Kadi has reached a settlement for the damages, of a whopping $130K.
