I've just finished making a DVD of the event and I'm doing the finishing touches on the video for the internet. Once Blogger becomes stable, I will be able to post the entire immigration forum footage. I'll also keep everyone informed on how to get the DVD so you watch the entire event on your television (don't worry, it's free...well kind of).
I haven't forgotten about Nancy Johnson's visit to Danbury which many described as a total waste of time. We have video and audio footage from her two meetings and let's just say, you'll be shocked with the venom, hatred, and total lack of respect shown to Johnson by the anti-immigrant hate group. You'll be equally as surprised at which CIty Council member showed up to support the anti-immigrant cause. BTW: is she throwing her hat in for Common Council President?
Oh, we've caught a local cable show host in a big lie and we have the video to prove it. It's priceless!
The city is holding their budget meeting tonight at City Hall. Want to know how your taxes are being spent? Get down to City Hall tonight and find out for yourself.
We'll be back once Blogger works out the problems with their software.
04.25.22 (RADIO): WSHU Latino group call on Connecticut lawmakers to open a Danbury charter school
06.03.22 (OP-ED): KUSHNER: "Career Academy ‘a great deal for Danbury"
On September 26, 2007, ten plaintiffs filed suit in response to an arrest of aday laborers at a public park in Danbury, Connecticut. Plaintiffs amended their complaint on November 26, 2007.
The amended complaint states that plaintiffs sought to remedy the continued discriminatory and unauthorized enforcement of federal immigration laws against the Latino residents of the City of Danbury by Danbury's mayor and its police department.
Plaintiffs allege that the arrests violated their Fourth Amendment rights and the Connecticut Constitution because defendants conducted the arrests without valid warrants, in the absence of exigent circumstances, and without probable cause to believe that plaintiffs were engaged in unlawful activity. In addition, plaintiffs allege that defendants improperly stopped, detained, investigated, searched and arrested plaintiffs. Plaintiffs also allege that defendants violated their Fourteenth Amendment rights when they intentionally targeted plaintiffs, and arrested and detained them on the basis of their race, ethnicity and perceived national origin. Plaintiffs raise First Amendment, Due Process and tort claims.
Plaintiffs request declaratory relief, damages and attorneys fees.
