Again, I'm sorry for the lack of posts but it seems that I'm really sick and I'm planning on seeing my doctor tomorrow.
This couldn't have happen at a worse time as I really want to tackle how the mayor screwed up the budget, as well as report on the recent events by the immigrant rights supporters (yes, more happened this weekend besides the church joining the new sanctuary movement). And OF COURSE, lets not forget Andrew Wetmore and everything that happened at the Zoning Commission...oh, I can't wait to get into that situation.
Unfortunately, it's very difficult for me to post anything as my head is really killing me and I've spent the majority of this weekend in bed drinking water and popping pills. Even my wife is concerned because she's never seen me like this before so trust me, whatever is going on with me, it's serious so I'm taking a break from the blogging thing until I get better.
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.
