Candidates Back "Danbury 11"

The eleven illegal immigrants that were arrested last year, or as they are refereed to as the "Danbury 11", had their case heard in front of a federal judge yesterday. The issue of the case is that they felt the arrests were conducted in a way that went against the law. You can read the article here from the News-Times.

However, a big reason I posted this was because two Democratic candidates running for the Common Council were there to rally in favor of those arrested, citing that the arrest were not conducted legally. They were current Councilwoman at Large Lynn Taborsak, who is running in the third ward this November, and Christine Halfar, who's running in the seventh ward.

Taborsak had to say the following to the incident:

"What were Danbury police doing in that sting? They planned it. Can you believe we didn't know that in Danbury?" Taborsak said she attended Monday's court case because, "I always have to do the right thing."
The following is why Halfar said she was in attendance:


"They had no warrants for their arrest. They had no case beforehand. I'm supporting people from my town who were unjustly seized in an ICE raid."

Just to note, Taborsak is running against Republican incumbents Mike Calendrino and Council President Joe Cavo, in the third ward. Halfar is challenging incumbent Republican Councilwomen Mary Teicholz and M. Jane Diggs in the seventh ward.

You saw it here, folks. These are the people that will spit in your face, and in the face of the law. They reek of ignorance in thinking this will help them get quick, easy political leverage.

Absolutely disgusting... however they dug their own graves... right before election time.

These two should not even be considered for when voting in this election. They don't honor the law of our country. Do not vote for either of them.

At least one of them will win and do the police spit in the face of the law when they arrest peole w/o a warrent? No, this is fair for them to go to. I don't agree with them on going but I'm ok with it. I would rather have Taborsak in the council than Joe Cavo who has lied to my face before about things in the city. He is nothing but Boughton's whip where at least Taborsak and a couple others even republicans like Stanley, who will challenge him when he is wrong.

HMM lets see, one who speaks for civil rights and one who panders to developers and the Mayor against the wishes of the residents. I'll take the civil right one any day!

The civil rights of the hardworking residents of Danbury... no, I think not. You don't care about people, you just have a political agenda, searching for fame... and aspiring to make your own little Danbury newspaper.

Your "hate" website is a tool for your vendettas, and it's hurtful and sickening.

Ummm... who is going to win the election? Yeah, take a hint. The residents LOVE Mark. Maybe you are speaking to the child molesters and the illegal aliens who want handouts. Wake up hat city bong dude!

These two are the faces of hatred. I bet they post on the newstimeslive. There was a "chrishalfair" name but who knows if it was her. These anti-American xenophobes do not belong in office, obviously. Yeesh
