"Politicians who are harming my child's education need to be thrown out of office" said one parent who wanted to remain anonymous. "What happened last year there when we filled city hall and pleaded with the council not to decrease the funding to the schools? Nothing! I'm not wasting my time again this year, instead I'll let my vote do the talking for me!"
What the mayor and city council are doing to the school system is a disgrace. I don't know what's worse, the fact that the mayor is getting away with this shit, or the fact that the members of the Board of Education aren't voicing the displeasure with the mayor's proposal with the passion you would expect from people who are responsible for running the school system.

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.
