Although I'm in Rhode Island, that doesn't mean that I won't update this site, just not as much as usual. Before I left town, there were some rather interesting developments in the crusade to remove Tom Bennett show "BigT's Talk and Variety" from public access. Also, it seems that Elise Marciano and her anti-immigrant whack-pack I.Q. dropped to an all-time low by using the victims for her own political purposes (hidden behind the cloak of a "prayer vigil"). I think it's safe to say that she and her xenophobic minions are not only the laughing stock of Danbury, but also disgusting to the core.
I have to thank those again who have emailed me tips and information. For those who I didn't send a reply message, we have a ever growing team of people looking into every singe bit of information presented to us...it's just that the amount of info is a bit overwhelming and will take some time to analyze.
We'll, I'm jumping on my bike and take a well deserved ride around Ocean Drive.
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.
