As Connecticut resident Wayzaro Walton sits in a Massachusetts detention center waiting to see if she’ll be deported to England, many notable lawmakers and officials have asked federal authorities to stop the process, let her return to Connecticut and remain in the Nutmeg State.
Connecticut Sens. Richard Blumenthal and Chris Murphy, Connecticut Attorney General William Tong and Hartford Mayor Luke Bronin are among officials and political leaders advocating for Walton, who faces deportation over her state-pardoned criminal record.
