Lamont, Blumenthal Issue Statements on ICE Activity in Connecticut

By: greenwichfreepress | 5 hours ago

““Let me be clear: Connecticut does not want, nor do we need, the type of presence ICE has had in our state this week. Connecticut has some of the lowest crime rates in the country, thanks to the excellent work our state and local police do to keep violent criminals off our streets. Rounding up people at random to fill a quota does not lower crime. It traumatizes families and communities.” – Governor Ned Lamont
