I almost forgot...this week marks the 1st anniversary of this site.
I'd like to thank the 10,000+ people who visited this site in the last year. I never thought this blog would be as popular as it is among people in the state but I guess it's safe to say that many of you are very interested in what's happening in Danbury.
I want also like to thank those former Danbury residents from around the globe who read my site daily. I enjoy reading their emails of support and I promise to provide the best coverage of events and issues that are happening in Danbury.
For our next year, you'll see changes to this site as I'll be doing more in-depth reporting which will include more video interviews and highlights from various City Hall meetings.
Between this site and ConnecticutBLOG, there have been over 150,000 visits from people who are searching for information that they can't get through the mainstream media. Hopefully, I've assisted in providing you with the news that you can't get from reading the News-Times or watching Channel 8 and I promise that the quality and amount of reporting will not only improve, but be more extensive.
Again, thanks to all. If it wasn't for you guys, I wouldn't be writing this blog.

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.
