Tonight at 6:30 P.M., Congressman Chris Murphy will be liveblogging and taking questions over at My Left Nutmeg (MLN).
If you have any questions for the Congressman, make sure to sign up and register at MLN before this evening.
UPDATE: Due to the vote on the floor of the House regarding the Iraq War, the liveblog has been postponed. I'll keep everyone updated when the liveblog is rescheduled.
UPDATE 2: The liveblog with Congressman Murphy is on for tonight on MLN. I'll update everyone when it gets underway.
UPDATE 3: Sorry folks, I was at the cable advisory meeting last night for longer than I expected. Everyone's favorite local access host Tom Bennett made another cameo, had a MAJOR meltdown, and had the police called on him. As promised, I'll get everyone up-to-date on his nonsense and I have his entire tirade on videotape so we'll all get a great laugh at his expense.
Because of the meeting, I was unable to notify everyone when Chris Murphy started his liveblogging. You can read his entry (including the Q&A session) on MyLeftNutmeg by clicking here.
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.
