Posted by: toobored54 Fri, Oct 06 2006 VOR, I have already written Boughton regarding Hazelton's Illegal Alien law, and implementing it in Danbury. This is his response:
"I would like to implement the ordinace you are describing. Unfortunately we have different state laws then Pennsylvania. We would need the legislature to enact a law to allow cities and towns to adopt this ordinance if they choose. I have asked our legislative delegation to consider doing this next session. Perhaps you should contact your state representative and find out what their position is. Regards, Mark Boughton"
Food for thought folks. Just something else to think about when the mayor talks about immigration and reaching out to the ethnic community. I'd love to get my hands on toobored's original email from Boughton but that sounds like something the mayor would say.
I'll bring you all the information you need about the whacked-out law the morons are trying to pass in Hazletown PA 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.
