In an order to set the record straight regarding the sermon Al Sharpton gave at New Hope Baptist Church earlier this month, tonight HatCityBLOG will be taking over the local access show Ideas at Work and Beyond.
At 9 P.M. on Channel 23, you'll be able to see, in it's entirety, the sermon Rev. Sharpton gave on May 4th. Hopefully, after you watch what happened with your own eyes, the misinformation that was shamelessly reported in the media will finally be put to rest.
UPDATE: There were technical problems at Comcast which resulted in the audio not working properly. The show will be re-broadcasted on Friday at 12:00. I will also rebroadcast the footage once my show premieres later this year.
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.
