The federal government has agreed to pay $350,000 to settle a civil rights lawsuit filed by 11 Latino immigrants who were arrested in 2007 in a series of immigration raids at their homes in New Haven, lawyers for the plaintiffs said on Tuesday.
The government has also agreed not to deport the plaintiffs, a legal group at Yale Law School that is representing them said in a statement.
In all, 29 suspected illegal immigrants were arrested during the raids, the plaintiffs lawyers said.
