DANBURY — The legal director of the American Civil Liberties Union of Connecticut said that Danbury’s participation in a federal program run by Immigration and Customs Enforcement will lead to racial profiling. The Common Council is considering whether city police should participate in a program that would provide police some training in immigration law enforcement. Legal Director Renee C. Redman sent a two-page letter to the Common Council Wednesday raising a number of concerns about the ICE proposal. Redman’s criticisms focus on a one-page memo on the ICE program sent to the Common Council Dec. 20 by Danbury Police Chief Al Baker.
