Before the anti-immigrant crowd jumps over this story, let me remind you that brothels are nothing new to Danbury as the city has a long history of with the world's oldest profession. These brothels were well known to the public and existed for many years before closing up shop. The most famous of the well-known brothels was located next to the popular former "Deeps Market" supermarket on North Street and was in existence for at least 15 years. Another was located on Federal Road at the current location of Enterprise Rent-a-Car and was the worst kept secret in the history of Danbury. You probably won't hear much about these places from the anti-immigrant xenophobes becasue those brothels generally catered to the white community while the police spend their time rounding up hookers on Bever Street and High Ridge.
We'll provide you with a full breakdown of former brothels in Danbury (including one "oriental spa" that is still in business to this day). Believe me, the former brothels of the past would of put these last two prostitution homes to shame and you'll see what I mean when I give you all the details later.

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.
