It seems like the change in weather has taken it's tool on me. I have a real nasty cold that's driving me nuts so posting will be light for a while. It's unfortunate that I'm sick because I really need to catch up on my posts before they become outdated but when I get sick, I really get sick.
If there is any type of a silver lining in my present condition, the little break will give me some more time to research material using Lexis-Nexis (the best database EVER) and provide more detailed posts later on down the road (e.g., anthrax damage control). It will also give me the much needed time to allow my computer to process more video footage, which is always a good thing based on the time it takes to produce a video clip.
I swear, nothing is worse than the change in season from summer to fall. During the day, it could be 70 degrees and at night it could drop to 40...
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.
