Danbury Democratic candidate for mayor John Esposito released the following statement regarding his relative Dean Esposito's mayoral announcement and recommits to defeating fellow Democratic mayoral candidate Roberto Alves in a primary.
I want to congratulate Dean Esposito for announcing his candidacy to run for Mayor on the Republican ticket.
As many of you know I announced my candidacy as a Democratic candidate for Mayor of Danbury in April, and will seek a victory in a democratic primary election on September 14th.
While Dean is a relative of mine, his announcement doesn’t change anything for me.
I hope to have your support so I can serve our community as your Mayor of the great City of 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.
