DANBURY, Conn. - A federal civil rights lawsuit filed Wednesday accuses Danbury of violating the constitutional rights of laborers last year during a sting targeting illegal immigrants. The lawsuit was filed on behalf of 10 men arrested a year ago. It accuses Danbury officials of making illegal immigration arrests and discriminatory law enforcement. The lawsuit contends Danbury has tried to enforce immigration laws without the necessary federal authority. Danbury police routinely stop Latino drivers to investigate their immigration status, the lawsuit alleges. The plaintiffs allege they were arrested without probable cause.
