[HIGHLIGHTS] They punish a company with $811 million in fines for "exploiting" immigrants who were in federal custody

Nexus Services must pay nearly $231 million in compensation, and fines of $13.8 million to New York, $7.1 million to Virginia, and $3.4 million to Massachusetts. The Virginia-based company, its subsidiary Libre by Nexus, and three of its executives must also each pay more than $111 million in civil penalties.

"Libre exploited immigrants vulnerable people and their families to fill their pockets, and that is illegal and inconceivable," New York Attorney General Letitia James said in a statement.
