The present landscape is unsettled and distracting to a degree that is almost unknown in Connecticut politics, and with attention diverted the region is suffering. As an elected official I will continue to concentrate on the job I have during what is a very troubled period in our history.

It is my wish that the 24th district, presently faltering under Republican management, can return to Democratic stewardship with Alice Hutchinson, and I endorse her candidacy
By Rotello exiting the race, Democratic endorsed State Senate candidate Hutchinson can shift her focus from dealing with a primary, to campaigning against current State Senator Mike McLachlan.

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.
