Some might think this blanket settlement figure is too high

The settlement talks with the ACLU and attorneys for hundreds of other plaintiffs had proceeded quietly until The Wall Street Journal reported in October that the Justice Department was considering paying about $450,000 to each person affected by the policy. The Associated Press later confirmed the figure had been under consideration.

And Biden said as much in November.

Asked about the amount on Nov. 3, Biden appeared to misunderstand the question and said a payment of about $450,000 per person was "not going to happen." He later said he supported a settlement, without specifying an amount.

I'd prefer that these cases are contested on an individual basis.
Which means depending on the circumstances some people may get far less than that amount and others far more.
Of course I understand that type of nuance is completely lost on this board. Who see things in simple black and white terms.
