The Department of Correction oversees New York City’s jail system, correctional facilities, and rehabilitation programs.
The settlement from the New York City Department of Correction covers people who were held past their scheduled release between April 1, 1997, and Dec. 21, 2012.
According to plaintiffs the department only had the authority to detain individuals for 48 hours, according to ICE documents, but regularly exceeded that limit.
These detentions were due to requests from US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) – but all other conditions for release were met.
New York City is not admitting any wrongdoing through the lawsuit – choosing instead to settle with financial payments to those affected.
The payout will benefit anyone detained past release between April 1, 1997 and December 21, 2012.
These are split into two subclasses: the Statute of Limitations Group and the Recent Group.
The Statute of Limitations Group includes those detained past release from April 1, 1997, to Jan. 31, 2007.
The Recent Group includes individuals detained past release between Feb. 1, 2007, and Dec. 21, 2012.
Eligible individuals will receive compensation depending on how long they were unlawfully held.
Payout amounts will vary based on the number of days a person was over-detained and the category they fall under.
According to the settlement website, Recent Group members may receive between $20,000 and $48,000 on average.
And Statute of Limitations Group members are expected to receive an average of between $10,000 and $24,000.
But those eligible need to act fast as the clock is ticking to submit a valid claim form.
The deadline to request exclusion from or object to the settlement is May 15, 2025.
The final court hearing to approve the settlement is set for Oct. 6, 2025.
The most important date is May 15, 2025 as this is the deadline to submit a valid claim form to cash in.
The forms may also be printed and sent by mail to the address provided by the settlement administrator.
Meanwhile, Amazon, Target, and Kroger shoppers may be eligible for part of a $22.5 million raw chicken settlement.
The payout applies to those who bought fresh or frozen raw chicken from Tyson Foods, Pilgrim’s Pride, or Foster Farms between 2009 and 2019.
The exact amount will depend on how much chicken they purchased and whether they have prrof, such as receipts or purchase records.
Those who can show evidence of their evidence purchases may receive a larger share of the settlement.
However, claims can still be submitted without receipts, and payments will be made on a pro rata basis, meaning funds are divided based on how much each person qualifies to receive.
To benefit from the settlement, consumers must file a claim form by July 31, 2025.
And that’s not all – drivers of certain Nissan models could get up to $5,000 if they have their receipts for past repairs.
A new class action settlement is offering cash, vouchers and warranty extensions to some Nissan owners and lessees.
The settlement covers Nissan Murano models made from 2015 to 2018.
Maxima vehicle models 2016 to 2018 might also have the defect, which affects cars equipped with a continuously variable transmission.
To get the benefits, drivers must file a claim by July 3, 2025.
Claims must include proof of repair, like receipts, work orders or credit card statements.
What's a class-action settlement?
Class action lawsuits offer groups of people, or 'classes,' a way to band together in court.
These suits are often brought by one or a few people who allege a company or other entity has wronged a large group of people.
When a suit becomes a class action, it extends to all “class members,” or people who may have similar complaints to those who filed the suit.
Companies often settle class actions – offering payment to class members who typically waive their right to pursue further legal action by accepting money.
These payout agreements frequently include statements by the defendant denying wrongdoing. Companies tend to settle class actions to avoid the costs of further litigation.
Pollution, discrimination, or false advertising are a few examples of what can land a class action on a company’s doorstep.
