ICE Accused of Arresting Parents at School Bus Stops
Advocates say ICE arrested 48 people in Danbury over three days, including operations near school bus stops.
Federal immigration agents have been accused of arresting parents at school bus stops in Danbury, Connecticut, according to Democratic Senator Chris Murphy. The arrests reportedly occurred after children had already boarded the buses, leaving parents alone and scared upon their return home. This incident has sparked concern among immigrant advocacy groups, who claim that ICE has arrested 48 individuals in Danbury over three days, with 22 arrests on the second day of the school year.
A video posted by Greater Danbury Area Unites for Immigrants appears to show ICE vehicles circling bus stops as children disembark, further fueling accusations of the agency's tactics.
