Five men who were detained and deported following the Sept. 11 attacks have reached a $1.26 million settlement with the US government.

The men sued the government over the roundups that put them in federal detention and the abuse they say they suffered while they were there.

They were among more than 170 Arab and Muslim men jailed for immigration-law violations at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn.

A 2003 Department of Justice report found “significant problems” with the treatment of detainees there, including physical abuse and mistreatment.
