It seems like the head of the Board of Education is staying put after all.
November 14, 2007
Dear Board Members:
This last week has been filled with long moments of contemplation and wonder. As stated in my previous letter, I had received a wonderful job opportunity out of state and decided to take it even though it meant leaving all of you and the wonderful work that we have done together during the last year.
At the eleventh hour, on Friday, what I have decided to call divine intervention came to pass and I received another offer from a company in Stamford. Having decided to take the Connecticut offer, it gives me great pleasure to rescind my previous letter of resignation. I appreciate your understanding and grace in this matter and I look forward passionately to all that we will continue to achieve together on behalf of the children of the City of 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.
