It's been a busy couple of months for me dealing with the media.
From being interviewed in the New York Times, to working back and forth with cable networks and hate-monitor organizations, it's become apparent that I need to reorganize this website so those who are not familiar with Danbury can more easily access material on this blog.
It's been a while since I updated this site since I was in the process of totally revamping HatCityBLOG but since my web traffic is peaking at about 800-1,000 unique visits per day, it's now apparent that I need to reorganize things a bit.
While I take time to rearrange things, I'll also work on updating the site with info on the trash transfer station, Elmer's Diner, the Dunkin Donuts nonsense, and the other things that are flying under the radar. Obviously posts will slow down a bit while I move things around but in the end, it wil be worth it.
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.
