(Yonkers Times) For the first time in more than one year, the Yonkers City Council returned to their chambers on the 4th floor of City Hall to hold their regular meeting on April 13.
At that meeting the council adopted the following items:
A settlement in the amount of $175,000 in the case of Ihsan Malkawi, for damages arising while detained with the Yonkers Police Department.
In 2019, Malkawi had her hijab removed and sued for a violation of her religious rights. Both Mrs. Malkawi and her husband were brought in for questioning regarding false claims of abuse by their daughter. Those claims were later withdrawn, but for 36 hours she was held, and had her interaction with the YPD.
