Marcia Chacon, et al. v. East Haven Police Department, et al.: Lawyers for nine East Haven Latinos who settled their lawsuit with the town for $450,000 called it a groundbreaking agreement that should serve as a model for other towns’ immigration policies.
“[The settlement] sharply defines and limits the extent to which local police departments are acting as border patrol agents doing immigration enforcement in addition to their real job, which is criminal law enforcement,” said one of the lawyers for the immigrants, David Rosen, of David Rosen & Associates in New Haven.
