So lets see, somewhere in Danbury, a family is in mourning over the loss of a love one and the only thing that comes to the minds of the xenophobes is connecting this crime to illegal immigration. Not only is this classless, it's also heartless, disgusting, and just plain idiotic and just gives further insight into the mind of the bigots in the area.
Hopefully when the Connecticut Post takes over, they'll take a look at the comments section as a whole, do the right thing and rid the city of the feature altogether. They should go back to the old format of reader interaction directed to the forums and place the hate-mongers back where they belong.
UPDATE: Watch this case as the anti-immigrants zealots attempt to make the feeble arguement that this single individual crime reinforces their bigoted view that "illegals" are ruining Danubry.

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.
