I'm being told that I'm overloading people with information today so I'm going to hold off on my video report from last night's PTO forum.
The forum featured Mayor Mark "I won't agree to do any more debates" Boughton, Democratic challenger Helena Abrantes, and the Independent sideshow (and Vice President of Elise "deer in headlights" Marciano's anti-immigration group) from Bethel who advocated that residents shoot immigrants.
Later, I'l post my report on the very insightful and telling event as well as provide a REAL SPECIAL COMMENT about the Danbury Mayoral candidate who RESIDES IN BETHEL and carefully explain why he, Marciano, and the boobs that make up that xenophobic whack-pack should NEVER be taken seriously.
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.
