I guess having 4,000+ angry residents got to the last honest man as he's been on relentless PR campaign today trying to spin this god-awful ICE-ACCESS program and salvaging his tarnished political image.
Radio show after radio show and interview after interview, Boughton's been spinning the whole ICE ACCESS program to the point where I'm becoming dizzy...let's just say that Boughton will not have the last word in his attempt to spin this issue in his favor that no one is buying.
From last night and today, here's a small round-up of the coverage over the anti-immigrant inspired ICE ACCESS/DanburyPD partnership. Included in the montage is the infamous Elise Marciano tirade Fox 61 could savage before she walked off in a hit of anger to the laughter of everyone as well as Mayor Boughton's latest PR campaign from today in an attempt to spin the debate.

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.
